My Top 5 Gluten Free Apps✨

These apps have been my saving grace the past few years living with Celiac. I was diagnosed literally knowing nothing about gluten but told to I needed to avoid it. These helped me to learn and keep living life to the fullest!🤩 I definitely recommend all of these, especially to those just starting their gluten free journey!

Restaurants are a hot spot for cross-contact! So here are just a few things to be cautious of when eating out…

Shared Fryers:
Most restaurants use the same oil to fry a bunch of different things, so if they are frying mozzarella sticks in the same oil they are frying their fries… it’s not safe! So make sure to check with the chef/waiter before ordering something fried!

Gloves and kitchen tools:
Gloves are a huge cross-contact source as are kitchen tools such as tongs and spoons!

Shared Workspace, Countertops, Cutting Boards, and Knives:
These are all things to watch out for in the kitchen! Just be weary and attentive about these problems!✨

Grills and Ovens:
Again… hot spots for cross-contact! So be careful!

Make sure to always research the restaurant before you go eat! That’s the best way to avoid getting sick!🥰

I don’t know about y’all, but going back to school can be a stressful time for Celiacs. There is so much forethought and planning that has to go into each day to ensure that each day goes smoothly. I don’t know many people with Celiac Disease that don’t bring their own lunch and snacks everyday! So here are a few of my favorite on-the-go snacks!

- Granola Bars
and are my go-tos!

- Dried fruit / Trail mix

- Applesauce / Yogurt
Don’t sleep on these… they aren’t just for kids!🤩

- Popcorn / Corn puffs
is my favorite!

-Fruit snacks

What are your favorite on-the-go snacks?!✨

5 Hidden Cross-Contact spots in your kitchen!🤍

Y’all this post took me FOREVER, but it had to be said! The kitchen is a hot spot for gluten, especially if you share a kitchen with others that don’t have to be as careful!😅 I am the only one in my family that has Celiac, so I have definitely had to revamp some things. I have my own gluten free corner, toaster, cutting board, etc… all just to make sure I don’t get sick!🥴

Cross-Contact vs. Cross Contamination:
Ok I am guilty of mixing these up too! It actually blew my mind when I found out that they are not the same thing! Cross-contact is when gluten is transferred to an object! Cross-contamination is when bacteria is transferred such as salmonella! Contact is what we need to worry about lol!😂

What are your thoughts?!

Is this another substitutions post? Yes, yes it is!!😅 Sorry not sorry!🤍

Ramen:
This brand has been ALL over my tiktok! make gluten-free rice ramen in many flavors, and I’m shook about it!🤩

Soft Pretzels:
When I discovered these soft pretzel bites from Greater Knead, I was ECSTATIC!🤩 There are three kinds: classic, cinnamon-sugar, and everything flavor!

Mini muffins:
has some super fun mini muffin snack packs available online! Definitely hits your nostalgia!🤩

Sheet Pan Pizza:
At this point I should be sponsored by !😂 Anything they make is just amazing!

Brownie Brittle:
I used to eat this all the time before being diagnosed with Celiac, so I was excited to find out they also made a GF version! I found them at Walmart, but I’m sure they are sold everywhere!
