“How many celiacs does it take to change a light bulb?” I’ll bet that someone reading this article knows the answer to question and I hope that you will share the answer with us. Our sense of humor is necessary if we are to survive living the gluten free life style.
I suggest you browse the website of the Cafe Press, which sells everything from kitchen magnets to Christmas ornaments, coffee mugs, camcorders, and maternity blouses inscribed with slogans ranging from “no pain, no gain” to “let them eat gluten free cake”. This site is fun to read even if you don’t buy anything.
Read this article by celiac who is able at laugh at herself and her condition. She understands our situation well enough to see the humor in it. The article is called “The Successful Celiac Checklist“.
Sometimes a sense of humor is the only way to handle an awkward situation. Read this article written by a teenager trying to advise an eighth grader about how to live gluten free while on a week-long trip with her classmates.
As the season approaches, you will be happy to know that we celiacs even have our own Christmas Carol. Click on the graphic below to enjoy it.
