Who’s ready for summer? I know I sure am! I’ve got my beach bag packed and ready for time at the pool with friends. Sunscreen, beach towel, sunglasses and of course, yummy gluten free snacks from Enjoy Life!
Not only is May the last month before heading into summer, it is also Celiac Disease Awareness Month. Celiac disease is a big part of my family, as my husband was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease about 9 years ago. He actually had no symptoms, but he has hypothyroidism and so his doctor recommended getting tested for any other family autoimmune diseases. With his sister having celiac disease and it being hereditary, he was tested for CD. Results came back positive {blood tests and biopsy} and we’ve been gluten free ever since.
There are many common symptoms of celiac disease {malnutrition, intense abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea} and sometimes it can be difficult to diagnose. You can find out more about Celiac Disease and check out a full list of common symptoms over at the Celiac Disease Foundation website. If you have any suspicions, talk to your doctor and get tested!
Once you receive the diagnosis of celiac disease, the idea of going completely gluten free for the rest of your life can be so overwhelming. I don’t have celiac disease myself, but I do have a gluten and dairy intolerance so I know what it feels like to drastically change your diet. It’s hard! I’m here to tell you that there are more and more products out there for us to enjoy. Seriously, new ones everyday.
One of my FAVORITES has to be Enjoy Life! From chocolate chips to grain and seed bars, cookies to lentil chips, everything they make is free of the 14 common allergens. They’ve been doing this whole allergen free thing for a long time and they are pretty much pros. This year, Enjoy Life is celebrating their new teal-tastic look! All of their tasty products got a little makeover and are packaged in this fun, new teal packaging. My fave color! With their new teal debut, you won’t be able to miss {or resist} their deliciousness.
As part of their rebrand, Enjoy Life is promoting a new campaign: #TealSpotting! When you are enjoying a box of your favorite Enjoy Life treats or spot them on the store shelf, snap a photo, tag @enjoylifefoods and be sure to add #tealspotting.
