You know you're a celiac…

when you can use a loaf of bread for a doorstop or a weapon.

when you go to a potluck and only eat what you brought.

when the employees of the only restaurant in the city that will serve you gluten fee food see you coming and immediately change their gloves.

when making a great batch of brownies make you so happy that people might think you won the lottery.

when you collect doctors like other people collect painted plates.

when you spend the first three months after diagnosis on the internet reading and trying to figure out your diet.

when one of your mottos is "lips that touch gluten will never touch mine".

when two shelves of the fridge are devoted to strange jars of flour and xanthan gum.

when your friends and family are embarrased to eat out with you.

Thanks, Janelle, for contributing these gems. Does anyone else have any great ideas. I'd love to publish some ideas for bumper stickers or T-shirts. E-mail by using the top button in the middle column of this page. Click here if you'd like to see other gluten free humor.
