Okay I kind of suck. I totally didn’t know it was Celiac Awareness Month – at least that was until Fiance reminded me 3 or 4 times!
I’m a bad Celiac blogger.
Happy Celiac Awareness Month!
I’ve always wanted a month dedicated to my awesomeness. But, until August becomes Glutastic Worship Month, I will take May as my/our month. Bask the glory of having your own month; and use it as a good excuse to tell EVERYONE you come across about Celiac Disease. I think I might fashion up some sort of sandwhich board full of Celiac facts and ask Fiance to wear it up and down 10th Street. Because really, if he loved me as much as he says he does, he’d do this for me!
If my next post refers to him as ex-Fiance, you’ll know how the request went over!

Sad news is that nobody really seems to care.
GFP contacted a few mags and newspapers, nobody bothered to call back.
The banners are on the bridges and there are eyeballs, but that may just be not enough.

That makes me sad that no one seemed to care. It seems that most people don’t get it, at least not until they have someone in their life with it. It’s amazing how aware you become when your lifestyle is dramatically changed because of bread! I think maybe, a Fiance wearing a sandwich board is just the thing to get people’s attention! (I’ll let you know how the request goes over!)

LMAO I just ran the idea by Fiance – he responded with nothing but a blank look, and a “yes dear”. And can I just say that your YouTube skills are amazing. We’ve watched the video like three times now!

I am in the Red Deer Support Group and we have been setting up a display at the Red Deer Regional Hospital with much success spreading the word about Celiac Disease. In fact one of the gastroenterologist’s came by this week and asked if we would do up a bunch of information packets. We are also launching a letter writing campaign to various local restaurants…….One small step at a time!!! BTW have you checked out the magazine Living Without?? Geared to people with food allergies like celiac – excellent – I found my first one at Chapters here in RD and am now subscribing.
