• Unlocking the Truth Behind Gluten-Free Living – It’s More Than Just a Diet
    Apr 15 2025
    Unlocking the Truth Behind Gluten-Free Living – It’s More Than Just a Diet Are you struggling with health issues that seem impossible to solve? Have you ever wondered if going gluten-free could be the answer? In this post, we’ll dive deep into my personal journey, the undeniable health benefits of a gluten-free lifestyle, and why it’s so much more than just a diet change. My Journey to Discovering the Power of Living Gluten-Free For over 15 years, I suffered from chronic migraines. They were so debilitating that I had to give up my career as a dental hygienist. The bright lights were unbearable, often making me vomit or even pass out from the pain. Desperate for relief, I went back to school to become an OB/GYN sonographer, just to work in the darkness of an ultrasound room. But the migraines continued. When my daughter Chanelle was two years old, her health took a terrifying turn. She was dangerously underweight, her belly was swollen, and her hair began falling out in large clumps. Doctors feared the worst: cancer, leukemia, even kidney failure. After countless tests, the answer finally emerged—Chanelle had celiac disease. As I supported Chanelle through her gluten-free journey, something incredible happened. My own symptoms started to fade. The constant migraines, fatigue, and brain fog all began to lift. That’s when I realized that celiac disease had likely been the root cause of my health problems all along. The Top Health Benefits of Going Gluten-Free The truth is, going gluten-free is about so much more than just cutting out a protein. Here are some of the incredible benefits people experience: Reduced Inflammation: Eliminating gluten can alleviate joint pain, improve digestion, and reduce overall inflammation throughout the body. Better Digestive Health: No more bloating, gas, diarrhea, or discomfort. Many find relief from chronic digestive issues. Enhanced Energy Levels: Going gluten-free can lead to better sleep, sharper focus, and more sustained energy throughout the day. Clearer Skin: Fewer breakouts, reduced redness, and healthier, glowing skin. Mental Clarity: No more brain fog! Improved cognitive function and clearer thinking are common benefits. Overcoming Skepticism on Your Gluten-Free Journey Making a drastic lifestyle change often leads to doubt and skepticism from others—or even yourself. But here’s the truth: Going gluten-free isn’t a trend or a fad. It’s a legitimate health decision that can transform your life. If you’re feeling resistance from family or friends, try these tips: Educate Yourself: The more you know about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, the better you can explain your journey to others. Share Your Why: When you communicate why you’re going gluten-free, people are more likely to understand and support your decision. Stick to Your Decision: Confidence in your choice will encourage others to respect your lifestyle. Practical Steps to Thrive on a Gluten-Free Diet Learn how to read labels and avoid hidden sources of gluten. Find safe gluten-free alternatives for your favorite foods. Prepare meals at home to avoid cross-contamination. Educate yourself about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Join supportive communities that understand your journey. Ready to Thrive?

  • Celiac Disease 101/ What You Need to Know
    Mar 17 2025
    Celiac Disease 101: Signs, Testing, and What to Do Next

    Could Gluten Be Making You Sick? Here’s What You Need to Know About Celiac Disease

    Are you struggling with digestive issues, fatigue, or brain fog but don’t know why? You might have celiac disease, a condition that affects 1 in 100 people worldwide—but shockingly, most people remain undiagnosed. If gluten is harming your health, it’s time to take action.

    In this post, we’ll cover:
    What celiac disease is and how it affects the body
    Common symptoms (including the hidden ones most doctors miss!)
    How to get tested for celiac disease
    The first steps to take if you’re diagnosed

    Let’s dive in!

    What Is Celiac Disease?

    Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, not just a food allergy. When someone with celiac disease eats gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye), their immune system attacks the small intestine, causing inflammation and damage to the villi—tiny structures responsible for nutrient absorption. Over time, this leads to nutrient deficiencies, digestive issues, and serious long-term health problems.

    Unlike gluten sensitivity, which causes discomfort without damaging the intestine, celiac disease is permanent and requires strict, lifelong avoidance of gluten.

    Common Symptoms of Celiac Disease

    Celiac disease doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some people experience classic digestive symptoms, while others have silent celiac disease, meaning they have no obvious stomach issues but still suffer from long-term damage.

    Here are some key symptoms to watch for:

    🚨 Digestive Symptoms

    • Chronic bloating and gas
    • Diarrhea or constipation
    • Nausea and stomach pain

    🚨 Non-Digestive Symptoms

    • Brain fog and memory issues
    • Fatigue, even after a full night’s sleep
    • Joint pain and inflammation
    • Anemia (iron deficiency)
    • Skin rashes (dermatitis herpetiformis)
    • Infertility and hormone imbalances

    If you have any of these symptoms, it’s time to consider celiac disease testing.

    Not sure what is negatively effecting your body? Here is my 10 Day Food Journal that will help you log not only your food but your symptoms, mood, even your #2🙈. You can grab it HERE!

    How to Get Tested for Celiac Disease

    If you suspect you have celiac disease, DO NOT go gluten-free before testing—this can cause false negative results.

    Step 1: Blood Test – Ask your doctor for a tTG-IgA test, the most common screening test for celiac disease.
    Step 2: Endoscopy – If your blood test is positive, the next step is a biopsy to confirm damage in your small intestine.
    Step 3: Diagnosis & Next Steps – If you’re diagnosed, the only treatment is a strict gluten-free diet for life.

    The good news? Removing gluten can be life-changing. Within weeks, many people notice higher energy levels, improved digestion, and reduced inflammation!
