You Know You Have Celiac Disease If...

  • You compare all of your food to "normal-people-food"
  • You know that Xantham Gum is not for chewing.
  • You don't lick stamps or envelopes.
  • You can easily substitute your bread for a brick or doorstop.

  • You forget to buy buns, rolls, breads, etc... at the store for all the gluten-eaters in your family.
  • You can find "hidden gluten" in food labels in the blink of an eye, even when your family couldn't find them if they had a magnifying glass and dictionary.
  • You, at one time, thought you had to accept that cardboard probably tastes better than gluten-free sugar cookies.

  • You've disinherited loved ones for putting their gluten-covered knife in your mayo or peanut butter jar.
  • You've brought a suitcase full of food with you when traveling.
  • You've mastered saying "I actually enjoy MY food" without having your face twitch
