Outward reactions

Outward reactions ARE real<----
We don't all have them....But I'd just like to address it.

I am in a  support group on Facebook and I asked the women....
"How many of you have dealt with outward reactions?"
you would be surprised at what they all had to say.
to sum it up at least 10 of the women that responded said "yes in one shape or form they have had them."

For example:
  • Age spots
  • Puffy eyes
  • Rash
  • Canker sores
  • Hair loss
  • Dermatitis
  • Edema
  • Itchy irratation
Sympotoms vary.... but those are a few OUTWARD REACTIONS.

 I read someone's blog and I was mad because they said we don't have outward reactions ....
(I'm sorry but everyone is different so her  writing that isn't helping a new person trying to figure out what to eat and what to do now that they have been diagnosed with celiac disease) And they even Quoted a "doctor" who said we don't have reactions!
ummm okay???!!! lets pause for a second.
I don't know if y'all remember my rant from a couple weeks back about doctors.
Here's a refresher. THEY AREN'T ALWAYS RIGHT!

I'm not saying that I am always right but I am saying I know my body!
I know when what happens when gluten has touched my body.

I put on a brand of gluten filled lipstick and my mouth turned into the nutty professor....
I put on gluten filled mascara and my eyes wouldn't stop running .....
I used gluten filled shampoo and my head literally was on fire.
 my reactions started after my body was clean from gluten.
I'd say about 2 years after I was diagnosed .
I just want to urge you stop and think...maybe the reason you are feeling off one day is
Be cause you used a GLUTEN filled lotion or whatever.

Don't you want your body to feel good ?
I don't know you all and I want your bodies to feel good!

Please be AWARE  of what you use.
ALWAYS read labels .
Go that extra mile for yourself!

Thank you for taking the time and reading my blog.

My Gluten free conscious box

Just call me Eli the explorer. Okay don't do that !!!
I love Instagram ! I have an addiction. I think hash tags are fun!
So every so often I will look up #glutenfree #celiacdisease and so on....I'm not sure if that's how I stumbled on www.Consciousbox.com or not but let me tell you about it now!

I absolutely love it!!!!!
Like it says on the website "Its Healthy, Natural Alternatives for Every Product in Your Life"

So far I have received July and August's conscious box and I think they are an awesome way to find new Gluten free products!
Something's I never herd of or thought of buying and now they are on my wishlist.

Inside my gf conscious box were things like 
Hydration factor 
Organic flavrz
Ultima replenishers
CHOCOLATE <------
Chickenpoop Chapstick (lol) contains NO POOP!
Eye drops
Mints 
Cleaners (for your dishwasher or dishes)
Toothpaste ;)
Tea,tea, tea and more Tea!
Mrm relax-all
Food bars 
.......And more

It's kinda like a subscription to a magazine you get billed once a month and it comes right to your home!
I Definitely would recommend this to anyone who could ! =) it's so worth the 20 bucks !
   


I wish I had found it  In the beginning of my gluten free journey. 
Go check it out. Let me know if you liked it :)

HELLO AUGUST :)

Happy August!!!!!
I can't believe it's already here!!!
Where does the time go???

Erika reached her goal on kickstart (that's awesome news)

www.celiacandthebeast.com

I can't wait to get my hands on that book ;)
I'm addicted to books, even if I don't read them everyday.
You can ask my bestfriend Veronica she laughs at means says of course your buying a new book.
But in this books case I'm sure she's either going to purchase it also or hound me to finish it so she can read it too! ;)

In other news my PUBLIX (I know it's not MINE...but it's next to my job lol)  just started selling Glutino's chocolate chip cookies (www.glutino.com)  which I'm obsessed with <3 <3 <3
They also started selling Tyson's gluten free chicken nuggets ( www.tysons.com ) and evol food ( and its name cracks me up) I haven't had time to try all the products yet but the teriyaki chicken was pretty good. :) so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I am sure they had alot more but my basket was starting to get heavy so i stopped shopping. just wanted to share because it made me happy.

Anyway....
while I couldn't sleep......I stumbled upon these fun facts which I have Posted on my Facebook already. In case you didn't see.....
www.udisfood.com
 and www.Pintrest.com

I Hope I Make a difference in your eyes.....I hope you can  understand me a little more (and people like me)
