When They Say, You Say..
Here are some strategic responses for those persistent relatives!
They Say: " A little gluten won't hurt you."
You Say: " Even something as small as a crumb can prompt my immune system to flare up and cause damage. It is like putting a malatov cocktail in a fire!"
They Say: "You're Faking it" "You're being a DRAMA QUEEN"
You Say: "I've been tested by a doctor! I have a real medical condition!"
They Say: "Didn't they just prove it wasn't real?" "I tried that to lose weight, but it didn't do anything for me."
You Say: " Dr. Fasano and his team of researchers at John Hopkins University confirmed that gluten-sensitivity is real." "This is not a fad diet, it is a medical condition, and sometimes you lose weight due to inflammatory weight gain caused by GLUTEN"
They Say: "What do you mean you can't eat gluten? "I made all this food!"
You Say: "Thank you, for thinking of me. Next time I will introduce you to some gluten free recipes that will be delicious for everyone."
Life begins after gluten!
This year, enjoy some gluten free stuffing!
Cracking under the pressure and eating gluten is always filled with regret and belly aches. The best way for me is to always be ahead of the game and know what the gluten free options are.
Stay gluten-free this holiday season! There is life after gluten, and it's wonderful! There is even life after grains. We find those battling acute autoimmune diseases do better by omitting grains completely for a short period of time so the intestinal microbiome can heal. Whether you are vegan, Paleo, Ketogenic or somewhere in between, omitting grains might be a great dietary healing tool.
If you think you might be living with a gluten sensitivity or Celiac go see Dr. G. She understands that your allergies and sensitivities to gluten are real and will work with you and test for true food allergies and sensitivities and help you make your next step! We offer ALCAT food sensitivity testing that has been published in a leading gastrointestinal journal.
Stop feeling sick all the time, go see Dr. G !
