Say hello to...positive things about celiacs.

I couldn't help but want to share this lovely positive note posted by the Gluten Free Optimist. Here are her top 10 positive things about having celiacs:

1. Your health is better!

2. You helped improve the health of other people by telling about the importance of testing for celiac disease.

3. You don’t need medicine or surgery to treat your disease.

4. You don’t have to share your food.

5. You save money by not impulsively buying sweets, by not impulsively eating out, and by not buying your lunch daily.

6. Since you read labels, you have a better idea of the nutritional facts and ingredients of the foods you eat and can make more informed choices.

7. You appreciate the small things in life and find joy in them like new good gluten free foods, the mention of gluten free or celiac on a television show, gluten free lists of foods and medicines, and an informative blog post or review.

8. You eat healthier at home when you don’t feel like driving far to eat out or buy gluten free convenience foods.

9. You have something to blog about.

10. You participate in amazing internet networking with other celiacs and have an instant bond with them.

Hope you're encouraged :)
