Okay, so I know I am not the smartest person in the world. I also know that I am a bossy know-it-all. I have two parents, two sisters (and their husbands), two brothers (and their wives), a husband, and three kids... not to mention a lot of Celiac acquaintances... that will be more than willing to agree with me on that!
It really irritates me when people who have Celiac Disease try to justify using products containing gluten. Whatever the excuse, if you are living gluten free, that means NO gluten!
So, I am going to vent a little here:
Gluten free food ... check!
Gluten free lip balm ... check!
Gluten free toothpaste ... check!
Gluten free vitamins ... check!
Gluten free lotions ... check!
Gluten free shampoos ... check!
Gluten free soaps ... check!
Self-stick envelopes and stamps ... check!
pocket or purse sized condiments ... check!
Replace wooden spoons/cutting boards ... check!
Strip and recondition cast iron ... check!
Replace any damaged teflon ... check!
Eliminate all gluten flours and mixes from the home ... check!
Make breads, cakes, and cookies from scratch ... check!
Shop at the same stores and in the same aisles ... check!
Be OCD about reading ingredient labels ... Definitely!
Stop going to church ... NOPE!!
Avoid all restaurants ... Don't think so!
Become a hermit ... NEVER!!
If you have Celiac disease, you should try to avoid all kinds of potential contamination, but seriously, you can still have a life! Go places... with people... Do things...
