Power Monday #46 Why I'm Grateful For My Celiac Disease

Published: May 26, 2014 · Modified: Dec 22, 2014 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Happy Memorial Day! And Happy Power Monday! I hope you have some fun in the sun planned for today 🙂 Get out there and enjoy yourself with your loved ones and the glorious welcoming of summer. Remember to pause and reflect on those who have served us to make this country great, safe, and strong! Today also marks the end of the 2014 Gluten-Free Challenge. I have really loved devoting these past few weeks to all things gluten-free and celiac. I hope you learned something and have a new appreciation for this disease and why being gluten-free is no joke for some people. And even though the challenge is over for you, the challenge is never over for those of us with Celiac. We must live everyday with vigilant eyes and compassion for out bodies. We must continue to explain, educate, and raise awareness for out disease which has no cure but to remain on a strict gluten-free diet for life.

Power Monday Gluten-Free

However, that does not mean I hate having to be gluten-free or wish that I could eat anything with out a care as to what it contains, where it came from, how it was prepared, or if someone served it with flour on the hands. (Well it might be nice to not have to worry about that!) But I don't pity my disease.

I've said it before, and I will say it again, I am grateful for my Celiac Disease. Why? Well take this scenario that was a reality for me 5 years ago. I had my friend over at my house and we picked up pizza to eat for lunch. After eating my two slices I was okay...for a few minutes. We started watching a movie and just hang out. About 20 minutes later I thought I was going to die. Imagine a 13-year-old girl, with her friend next to her, suddenly over come with the worst stomach and intestinal pain and cramps ever. Should I run to the bathroom or try to sit there and act like nothing is wrong. Well the later option was not an option. I had to do the "O, I'll be right back" scenario and quickly book-it to the bathroom. But this didn't just end there. My friend wasn't due to leave for a few more hours, what the hell was I supposed to do. I had to find my mom and tell her I needed an out. So we made up a lie saying we needed to be somewhere in an hour and her mom would have to pick her up soon. In the meantime, I had to keep running to the bathroom ("I had just drank too much water"). Well after that horror was over and she left, my body was so done, so exhausted, and so sore and in pain. I remember just remember heading just up to my bad and sleeping for the rest of the day and night.

Celiac does not just affect the body, it affects your life too. That was the summer I realized I had a huge problem and I was only able to stomach Rice Chex and crunchy iceberg lettuce. I also starting being able to make connections back to other similar episodes throughout my life where I would be overcome with the worst stomach "hell", but not knowing why.

I am grateful for Celiac Disease because I no longer eat something and 20 minutes later be stuck in the bathroom the rest of the day, doubled over in cramps and pain. I no longer become so exhausted that my body just shuts down and needs to sleep off its own attack. I know now what I can eat and what serves my body well. What will keep it healthy and pain-free. I don't have to worry about being in the car coming home from a dinner at my grandparents on Easter, quietly keeping to myself but inside feeling like my intestines were being ripped out. I don't have to tell my dad to take the next exit so I can run into a store and find a bathroom.

I know what my body can handle. I know what my allergies/intolerences are. I know how to keep safe, thus I am able to live. And I am able to learn. Again, I have said this many times, but the about of information I have learned about food and cooking since my diagnosis is amazing. Quinoa, millet, kasha were something foreign to me, but now is just an everyday staple. I am so surprised when someone has never had it or has no idea what it is. Gluten-free pancakes? I didn't even know how to make normal pancakes. But look at me now, making pancakes every weekend, completely gluten-free...and vegan to boot!

Bring gluten-free has made me a health-conscious eater as well. It has introduced me to veganism and has allowed me to discover my other allergy to soy. Who needs "real" pizza (mind you, my stomach still does flip-flops when I go in to a pizzeria or see someone eating a slice), when you can make glorious gluten-free tortilla pizza's with real whole food ingredients. A health-pie if you will.

Roasted Winter Veggie Tortilla Pizza 3

Having Celiac has brought on major cooking experimentation and fun times int he kitchen. my first homemade gluten-free dish was Thanksgiving stuffing. I went gluten-free November right before the holiday season. But did I let that stop me from enjoying life? Hell no! I have never let it stop me. I have embraced it and have made it an integral part of who I am. But I don't let it define or limit me negatively. I wear my gluten-free hot loud and proud. I don't let my disease rule me, I rule this disease and make it an inspiration, an ability, a way to honor, life, and enjoy my life.

Gluten-Free Warrior

So Celiac Disease, I am grateful for you. I am grateful for what you taught me and what you have allowed me to do. You have made me a Gluten-Free Warrior!

    I can totally relate to this...I don't know if I have Celiac's but I have many food sensitivities and gluten is definitely one. I am so happy and grateful for the way I live my life and the way I eat that it most definitely doesn't bother me. Someone recently told me that it sucked that I couldn't eat "normal"...I told him I totally disagree...it doesn't suck at all. It rocks. It might take some getting used to at first, but you barely remember that adjustment period after a year or less!

      That is exactly how I feel! Whenever someone says, 😮 that sucks" I always come back with no, no it doesn't. Your diet must suck because you are stuck in your old conventional boring food patterns. Having allergies and celiac forces you to get innovative and try new things all the time!

    I've been nodding along with you on some of your thoughts about celiac. I have type 1 diabetes and it's almost freeing to know what my body can handle and motivating to eat healthier.

      Yes! Embrace what life has given you and learn to make it into something positive. We don't have to let our illnesses take over, we can learn and be motivated by them 🙂

    I do not have to eaten gluten free, but I started by choice this past month and I have noticed so many different things taste so much better. So I would be happy too if I could only eat gluten free all the time.

    I am always thankful that I do not need to be gluten free because it would mean I would need to give up so many of the things I love. This post makes me realize that I would still be able to live my life still if I were to be diagnosed with it. I’m lactose intolerant, but I just allow myself to suffer through the discomfort since I don’t want to give up the things I love. You may have inspired me to try out a dairy free diet for a week or so to see how different I feel.

      There are many substations and you really never give up what you love. If you lactose intolerant have you tried taking Lactaid?

    Great post! That's such a good way to look at it - without that diagnosis you'd probably still be worried about "random" stomach pain all the time. It looks like you've come a long way so props to that!

    This was such a great post! I'm so glad you're able to embrace having celiac disease rather than dwell on how much it sucks. I think overcoming different circumstances and obstacles shows a lot about a person. I try to embrace being faced with adversity most of the time. I think everyone has their moments, but it's how we deal with those moments.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story. I've been researching this a lot lately. Have you tried Arbonne the Arbonne nutrition line? We are certified gluten-free company (and vegan)... all our skin care products, nutrition, cosmetics, etc! It's worth a try! This is my first time participating in not a mom blogger fbook group.. I'm looking forward to following along!

    I embrace adversity. Adversity is going to happen and our only choices are to embrace it or let it bring us down. Love "I'm a gluten free warrior!" What started as a challenge for me in Jan has turned out to be so much more leading up to blood tests this month. Sharing more soon!

      I am so happy that you were able to go gluten-free and find out that you really had a problem with it! You will only get better, stronger, and healthier now 🙂 XOXO

It's a Philidephia, PA confection (so if you're not from the East Coast you really may be out of the loop!) However, it's a super fun seasonal treat that pops up around St. Patrick's Day! 🍀👏

Homemade doughnuts are always a good thing and combine that with everyone's favorite breakfast CAKE, well, how could you go wrong? 🤔Just grab your @wiltoncakes donut pan, favorite gluten-free like @bobsredmill, some @swervesweetie, @countrycrock vegan butter, @so_delicious to make my homemade sour cream (you HAVE to have sour cream for a classic moist coffee cake!), and of course, TONS of @simplyorganicfoods cinnamon! 🤤🙌

These are like an allergy-free throwback to @entenmanns FAMOUS crumb donuts! That crumb topping was the best! But don't worry, you'll be able to satisfy that craving with these bad boys! Now all you have to do is bake up these doughnuts, grab some freshly brewed coffee, and savor your moment or doughnut bliss! 😍🍩❤️
