Hello Reader, Happy New Year to all of my wonderful, supportive, and amazing gluten-free friends (YOU!). Unfortunately, I'm feeling under the weather this week, so I will make this week's newsletter short and sweet. Feed a Cold π€§I've got the icky cough and cold that's going around, so I decided to make my Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe. The broth soothes my sore throat, and the soup is so filling but light. I hope you enjoy it too. The Pros and Cons of a GFDA lot of people will attempt to go gluten-free in the New Year, especially since the New Year is a time when many reflect on their health goals and strive to live a healthier lifestyle. However, as with any βdiet,β itβs essential to understand the potential benefits and drawbacks of living a full-fledged gluten-free lifestyle. If you've been gluten-free long enough, you know it's not all roses. This is a serious diet that is not for the faint of heart. If you or a loved one is going to go gluten-free this year, I encourage you to read βTHIS ARTICLE, where I break down the eight pros and eights cons of a gluten-free diet. If you've been gluten-free for years, I'd love to know if there are other pros and cons I should add to my list - let me know! Heal Thy GutIf you're going into 2025 with the resolve to improve your gut health, I suggest you consider taking a daily probiotic. You'll obviously want to talk to your doctor, but I have always said that probiotics were life-changing for me. I'm a big proponent of probiotics. Probiotics introduce "good" bacteria into your gut to help counter the "bad" bacteria that might be taking up residence. Over time, you will likely feel less bloating, gas, indigestion, heartburn, etc. I recommend taking a dosage of 30 billion CFUs or higher, and check labels for hidden gluten. If you'd like to start taking a daily probiotic, read my article, The Benefits of Probiotics, to get started. I discuss the benefits of probiotics (especially if you have a gluten disorder) and offer guidance on what to look for when purchasing them.

Hello Reader, I've got a busy weekend ahead of me. We're packing our February Love Me Gluten Free boxes. I created Love Me Gluten Free so that you could sample all the fun goodies I got to sample as a blogger. Brands often send bloggers and influencers products to sample, but sampling those products alone is no fun! Now, through LMGF, I get to sample the products alongside you. It's so much more fun, isn't it?!? If you reserved a February box, it ships on Monday! π We don't have any February...
Hello Reader, "What happens if you eat gluten?" I'm asked this question the most by well-meaning new friends. Given my profession and strict 100% diet, I'm a magnet for questions about my diet. Of course, I don't mind sharing, and I honestly like it when people ask questions. If you're curious how I answer the "What happens when you eat gluten?" question (hint: π½) or you want to see the other top questions about celiac disease I'm asked all the time, read my article, I Have Celiac Disease,...
