January Brings New GF Goal for Ryan Seacreast and Others
Well, like it or not, we’re all back into our regular routines by now. Some of us may have announced New Year’s Resolutions and among the declared goals are…you guessed it, a gluten free diet!
Let me start by saying I certainly wouldn’t discourage someone from going gluten free. In fact, I actually advocate for it due to the health benefits I’ve seen in non-celiacs. But folks (Yes, Ryan Seacrest, I’m talking to YOU) you aren’t gluten free because you had a fruit salad for lunch! If you fall victim to an ”everything bagel” within an hour of your tweet/declaration, all you’re doing is annoying the celiacs.
If you’ve decided it’s time to elminate the gluten in your life, give it a chance. It won’t take long before you start to see results and in fact the improvements may surprise you.
Yes, there is temptation. There is frustration. But you can do it! Just do it one GF step at a time.
Ryan, have your people call me if you need help….
Okay, here is a rather odd question. Gluten simply makes my joints swell and hurt. Clearly, I need to back away. What is the best source online source for me to look at regarding hidden gluten. I know soy sauce can be an issue, etc. My kids are food allergic to a variety of items but gluten is not one, so I’m not savvy in this realm and I won’t bake for Celiacs or wheat allergics for fear of cross contact in my kitchen. For my personal choice, I am seeking one or two resources to help me find my gluten free way.
Hi there! I find http://www.celiac.com has some great info, no matter where you are in your GF journey.
As for cooking for Celiacs, you’re right, it’s not easy! I’m sure your family and friends appreciate your consideration and attention to detail.
Thanks for the link and kindness. I almost feel embarrassed since my gluten free journey is by choice to feel better versus those who can suffered horrific health consequences.
Have a great week.
Please don’t feel embarassed! I actually have great respect for someone who chooses to make healthy choices for themselves. I didn’t do it until my health was at risk and by then, I suffered a lot of consequences. I’m now following you on twitter, so I’ll be keeping an eye on that journey;)
Thanks for your support. I really am intimidated by gluten free baking, but I am going to bite the bullet and dive in! Have a great day and thanks again!! I truly appreciate it.
