Hi everyone in cyberspace! This is Aunt Rissy and I thought it was time to put my two cents in. This section will be all about living with someone with Celiac. This includes shopping, cooking, learning and loving. I am no expert but I have had to deal with this for over 4 years so I guess that means I have gained some wisdom. Not sure how I will format this so I am open to suggestions!
I WILL try to be honest about how we live our lives…good and bad. I hope to include recipes, tips, suggestions and sometimes a shoulder to cry on. I will let this evolve so be patient please!
Time to think! Talk to ya later!
Aunt Rissy
After an 18 month adventure through the catacombs of the medical system, I was formally diagnosed with Celiac Disease. The bright side of that journey is that I know 3,712 nasty and horrible conditions that I do NOT have. 
It’s gotta be the name! My nickname has been Aunt Rissa for years. I too live with a g-freer. Goodluck and can’t wait to hear more from you!
I’ve lived with Coeliac Disease (Funny how it’s spelt different ways) as long as I can remember. I first got sick when I was meant to start learning how to walk as a baby and it took over a year for the doctors to diagnose me. Sadly this is the norm for toddlers and babies. It isn’t uncommon to hear about children who are sick for so long it hurts to sit down (the muscles are that wasted) before they are diagnosed. In some ways I would tell you to be thankful you were diagnosed later in life as it’s something no mother would ever want to see her children go through. There are long term issues if coeliac disease is found young because body parts like the teeth aren’t given the chance to develop properly.
Living on a coeliac diet isn’t hard, it’s more the fact of knowing that normal food is twice as convenient, less likely to fall apart and less expensive that does ya in.
