Pizza night is back! {Recipe for GF Pizza Crust and a GIVEAWAY}

{Giveaway has now ended. You can find the recipe at the bottom of the post.} One thing I’ve missed since going gluten-free is pizza night.  Oh sure, we’ve had a few pizza nights using frozen gluten-free crusts, but it’s SO not the same as homemade.  And it’s not nearly as much fun either, especially for [...]

Gluten-Free Living is No Cakewalk by inspiredrd.com

{For Celiac Awareness Month, I thought I would share one of my most popular posts on the subject.  I originally published this after being gluten-free for only six months.  Even though I’m more used to this way of life now, these challenges still get to me.  And I’m still having dreams about social situations, in [...]

Oh how aware I’ve become…

Celiac Awareness Month

It’s May 1st and the beginning of Celiac Awareness Month. Oh, how aware I’ve become. Last May, I was still sorting through the newness of having celiac disease.  I was overwhelmed with the complexities of eating out, reading food labels, and how to handle social situations.  Those things are still challenging, but getting easier as [...]

A quick health update…

April 5, 2013
Mayo Clinic

So many of you passed along your prayers and positive thoughts today (thank you) that I didn’t want to leave you hanging.  I saw my GI doctor this morning at 8:30 (and got to hug Erica at 8:20 in the lobby). She explained that my celiac disease had pretty much resolved and that my gut [...]

Searching for answers...Real life with celiac disease

This week has been rough.  My brain has been so cloudy that I’ve struggled to have coherent conversations and to be fully present as a parent, wife and friend.  Having to work so hard at these things leaves me utterly exhausted.  Emotionally and mentally drained. I’m driving back up to the Mayo Clinic this morning [...]

Yesterday I found myself resting from accidental gluten exposure while wearing my celiac shirt and reading my continuing education book “Real Life with Celiac Disease”. Just thought it was funny. Happy Friday.

Lozilu Phoenix Mud Run 5k 2013 InspiredRD.com

Two years ago my health was at it’s worst.  One year ago I painfully walked a 5k for charity.  Saturday I finally had my comeback race.  The one I had been waiting for.   And you know what?  It felt good.  Really good. Nine of us ran, climbed, waded, dove and slid through 3 miles [...]
