Friday Finisher 3/30/18

Published: Mar 30, 2018 · Modified: Mar 16, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

It's Easter weekend! Wasn't it just Christmas? I think so...Usually the Spring semester goes by slower than the Fall, but they are looking pretty equal to me! Just about a month left and I am SLAMMED with work. So many papers to write (plus group projects). I am running on empty, but the finish line is SO close...summer freedom? I'm just marking off the weeks, the assignments, the papers, one by one. We'll get there alive...I hope!

Have a great Easter, if you celebrate, and if not, here's to a (hopefully) sunny, not rainy 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. 💛
