Celiac Disease & Diabetes - Why YOU Should Be TESTED

There are tons and tons of great celiac disease cookbooks. And websites of products.  And a few magazines, too!

Some people are severely sensitive, and need to have their own toaster oven, for example, because simply sharing utensils with a gluten-eater can cause their own symptoms to flare up.

I've found that gluten-free waffles make better sandwich material than real gluten-free bread...which always turns out to be too dense and dry.

I remember my biggest disappointment after diagnosis was realizing I could no longer eat real spaghetti with my Italian family anymore.

As with the other challenges we face, life goes on. We adapt and do what we need to in order to enjoy life and pursue the things in life we love. I can do without bagels and spaghetti, if it means I'll be healthy enough to teach yoga for another few decades.

Bottom line: get your blood tested!
