A summary of a recent Living Without article May 7, 2012
Any time you have a medically ordered dietary restriction, life changes. Things that most people take for granted, such as grabbing a quick snack while out and about or enjoying the buffet at the office party, become potentially life-threatening adventures. There is so much information, and mis-information, about living with celiac disease. How do you sort through the constant barrage of gluten-free data?
I recently read an excellent article in Living Without where they lay out seven of the top myths associated with Celiac Disease. The article is long but well worth the read and I wanted to provide a quick summary of the questions and the realities and encourage you to read the full article, especially if you are new to the world of gluten-free living.
As I write this post, Boulder has been covered in a blanket of white, glistening snow signaling that it is once again that time of year where there’s a party almost every day. Yes, the holidays are upon us and thus my annual battle to maintain a healthy diet has begun. Even if you have no food allergies, it is nearly impossible to eat a 100% healthy diet all the time and it is especially hard during the holiday season, which pretty much lasts from Thanksgiving through New Year’s. (Okay, for some of us Halloween actually kicks off the challenge)
