Did you know that Celery and Buckwheat are considered major food allergens in other countries?

The Global Food Allergen Labeling Gap: What You Need to Know Before You Travel with Food Allergies | Part 1

Being a food allergy mom means constant vigilance. But itā€™s not always straightforward when you cross borders and face different food labeling laws.

Iā€™ve put together a video covering the "Global Food Allergen Labeling Gap"ā€”what you need to know to stay informed and advocate for your family on your next trip.

You can watch the full video, "The Global Food Allergen Labeling Gap: What You Need to Know Before You Travel with Food Allergies," over on my YouTube channel, Masha Lives Gluten Free:

North America leads in a global food allergy crisis. What I mean by that is that food allergies have been on the rise over the past decade.

I have to mention some of these statsā€¦.Over 3 million Canadians, approx. 7.5% of our population, are affected by food allergies, according to Food Allergy Canada.

Approximately 33 million Americans have at least one food allergy (and thatā€™s 9.5% of the population, according to Food Allergy Research and Education).

What is going on? Who in your family is affected?

This is our Food Allergy & Sensitivity Journey...

I'm Masha šŸ‘‹ and I live with multiple food sensitivities while raising a child with multiple food allergies.

It started when my son Sebastian was only 2 months old. We thought it was just ā€œEczemaā€ at first. Many infants/toddlers have it, so we didnā€™t think much of it. His symptoms included eczema, colic, frequent skin rashes and food reactions.

The real answers came once he started solids. Between 1-2 years old, my son was diagnosed with multiple Food Allergies which included Wheat, Egg, Sesame Seeds & Some Nuts.

As diligent parents, we thought we were prepared and well informed. But a single slice of Gluten Free cake at Sebastian's brotherā€™s 1st birthday party (that unknowingly to us contained eggs) changed our entire outlook. Watching Sebastian have a terrifying food reaction turned our world upside down. We had to educate ourselves and our loved ones to be more aware of the hidden allergens around us.

Now, we check every label, ask the right questions, and never go anywhere without an EpiPen.

While managing my son's health, I was ignoring my own. For years, I lived with:

ā€¢ Constant fatigue & brain fog
ā€¢ Bloating & abdominal pain
ā€¢ Stubborn acne
ā€¢ Failure to thrive
ā€¢ Weight gain (more recently)

In 2024 on a family vacation in Hawaii, I collapsed on the beach. This was my wake-up call to stop ignoring the signals my body was sending. After months of testing, I discovered I was iron deficient and have multiple food sensitivities.

We now live in an allergy-aware home where we learn how to thrive, not just survive.

Seeing my son grow up in a world filled with hidden allergensā€”while navigating my own sensitivitiesā€”is what drives me. That's why I'm building the community I wish I had.

If you are:
ā€¢ Navigating food allergies, sensitivities or intolerances
ā€¢ Living Gluten Free, Celiac
ā€¢ A partner or parent supporting a family member

You are in the right place!

Had such an incredible conversation with RonniLyn Pustil for my 1st Life Without Gluten YouTube series coming out late summer 2026 šŸ’š

Hereā€™s a short snippet where RonniLyn talks about the importance of supporting gluten-free food bank drives ā€” something that can make a real difference for families facing food insecurity in the gluten-free community.

If youā€™re heading to Gluten Free Garage on May 31 in Toronto, donā€™t forget to bring a gluten-free food item to donate šŸ¤—

A small act of kindness can go a long way!

I Tested 3 MORE Gluten-Free Flours with My Go-To Bread Recipe | Part 2 | The Results Surprised Me

Full Review on my YouTube channel: Masha Lives Gluten Free

I tested three popular gluten-free flour blends (Cloud 9 Gluten Free Gluten Free Bagel Mix, Duinkerken Bread Pain Mix, and XO Baking Co. - Gluten Free Baking Gluten Free All Purpose Flour) to see which one truly delivers the best texture, rise, and flavor for homemade bread.

This is the exact recipe I used for all three testsā€”simple, no yeast!

šŸ‘‡ Hereā€™s the bread recipe I used to compare the flours:

Dry Ingredients:
2 Ā½ cups gluten-free flour blend
1 Ā½ tsp baking powder
Ā½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp psyllium husk powder

Wet Ingredients:
2 cups warm water (add 2-3 tbsp more if batter is too thick)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup

Have you tried any of these blends before? Thoughts? Please let me know in the comments!
