Friday Finisher 9/21/18

Published: Sep 21, 2018 · Modified: Mar 11, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Raise your hand if you're NOT ready for the official start of Fall this weekend! Anyone? My hand is held high. Sure, sweaters, apples, and pumpkin spice are nice, but I'll take those things with a side of summer weather. The thought of not being able to just hop out the door without a jacket, makes me cry. I don't do well in cold weather and Fall is just that start of that cold weather (cringing at the thought of January and February!) Northeast weather is not so friendly (I've got to move south, way south!)

I think I'll be safe for a few more weeks, but who really knows with the CRAZY weather we've had this year! Weather update out of the way, let's cozy up with a mug of hot chocolate and get to these links!

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. 💛
