To each his own (But Please Don't CHEAT)

Sometimes I read articles and I'm just befuddled by what they say about GlutenFree living. Then I wonder WHO COMES UP WITH THIS STUFF? What's Real? What's Fake? Who Can you TRUST?
It's So Tough to have Celiac Disease. WHY? you might ask....Well BECAUSE EVEN DOCTORS DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. (sometimes even I don't know what I'm talking about....BUT I do know my Body.)

 I guess all we can do is take what we believe is right and leave the rest behind. 
 For instance I have outward  reactions but other people don't.
(every ones symptom's vary I still urge you to be careful and don't risk using any type of gluten products even if it is just lotion or shaving cream.)
Some people react by smelling, some people react by feeling, some people get paranoid for being in the same room with flour or any other type of gluten . To each his own<--
it's a scary thing having gluten inside our bodies. We don't ever want to feel that way. we don't ever want to have that inside us.(at least I DON'T)(I'm speaking for the ones that don't cheat)
I don't cheat I have not had gluten on purpose in the last five years .... Scratch that in my dreams I have Papa John's pizzas at least once a week lol ...okay seriously
 Sometimes I get so frustrated because I don't feel people with celiac disease take it serious...just like the people who don't have it and don't take it serious... it makes me sad.

If I believe something contains gluten I will not go near it .
If I have to make my nephew fish sticks(gluten filled) and touch them to see if they are ready I'll clean my hands like someone with OCD. (celiac problems)
 I will go to the store and buy my mom regular bread (but I can't stand the smell it makes me nauseous) I honestly think it just brings back bad memories from when I was sick all the time and unable to keep my food down. I don't get mad anymore when people are eating gluten around me (mad as in jealous) hey non GF people have a right to eat whatever they want. I just ask that you take the time to become educated. What is Celiac disease ?

you never know you may have to help a friend or family member one day.
1 in 131 people have celiac disease. I was told it may be 1 in 100 people now. Just an fyi.
that's all for now.
thank you for reading.

Gluten Free Candy

***18 days Until Halloween!***.  

How crazy is it that this year has flown by. It's mid- October !!!! I'm still trying to keep up!

There's so much going on in my life I haven't had time to blog and be connected with you all my wonderful support in this gluten filled world. I apologize for that. 
 
In 18 days it will be Halloween aka TIME FOR candy! 
In my office it's always time for candy =) lol ! 
I came across this list from celiac.org and I thought I should share it with y'all !
How great is this list? Amazing right ! 
If you don't find a candy you are looking for GOOGLE it!!!!! Don't eat it because you think it's safe ...eat it because you know it's safe !
Better safe than sorry !
