Gluten Free Resolutions For The New Year!

It is that time of year again, everyone makes a resolution or two.  Here are a few that people with Celiac should make.  I feel the hardest part of having a food allergy is not really the food, it is the entire social aspect that comes with food.  I know my son feels I am obsessed with his gluten allergy, however I feel responsible for it.  Here are a few resolutions I will keep in 2017 and all with gluten allergy should too. 

1.  Eat naturally gluten free foods.  Eat fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats.  Avoid processed, packaged foods.
2.  Carry some snacks and food with you.  There will be times of hunger, and no gluten free choices.  In these cases, you need to be prepared.  Teach kids never to be embarrassed. 
3.  Educate people on your disease.  The more people know, the more they will understand. 
4.  Always look out for hidden gluten, and cross contamination.

Here's to a gluten free 2017!
