Friday Finisher 3/2/18

Published: Mar 2, 2018 · Modified: Mar 16, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Happy March! I hope your February was at least more bearable than mine! I think the month flew by because I basically lost those 2-3 weeks when I was living in arctic crisis with no furnace. Hoping a new month will bring some new "good" vibes. Spring is coming right? Each week it gets closer and closer, but you know me and I just want summer! Spring break is around the corner too, but that's only a week, so not much of a break, but maybe some downtime to take a much needed breather and regroup!

I thought about sharing a fun "Things I loved in February" post (do you guys like those types of posts many bloggers share once a month?), but I just added a few links to the bottom of this Finisher. Random items I couldn't get enough of other the past few weeks. On that note, make sure you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories! I'm always sharing new gluten-free/allergy-free products I find when I'm out and about or the press releases! New foods are always fun!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞 So Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞

So many people still confuse the two, but it’s an autoimmune disease, not an allergy. That means gluten doesn’t cause an immediate allergic reaction resulting in hives or swelling…it causes your immune system to attack your small intestine longterm. 

This distinction matters because:
👉 There’s no medication or quick fix
👉 The only treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet
👉 Mislabeling it as an “allergy” is scientifically incorrect. There is no such thing as a gluten allergy.

Swipe through to learn why the distinction is inportant and why accurate education and awareness is paramount. Let’s set the record straight and not mislabel our disease when speaking about it. 💛
