🚨 Gluten-free friends, I may have found a new favorite spot...

This weekend I visited .bakery a dedicated gluten-free bakery and retail store here in Michigan, and let's just say I didn't leave empty-handed. 😍

In this box:
🍪 Frosted sugar cookie
🎂 Caramel red velvet cake
✨ Cinnamon roll

As someone with Celiac Disease, there's something special about walking into a bakery and not having to wonder what's safe. Just looking at the menu and choosing what sounds good? That's a level of freedom that never gets old.

I took plenty of photos (and yes, I sampled the goods 😉), and I'll be sharing a full review on the blog soon.

For now, tell me: which treat would you grab first?

👇 Cookie, cake, or cinnamon roll?

Moving into a furnished rental with Celiac Disease meant making a few strategic decisions about what kitchen items to bring from home.

One appliance that made the cut? My air fryer.

Air fryers work similarly to convection ovens by circulating hot air around food using a fan. While many shared kitchen appliances can be used safely with proper cleaning, appliances that use fans can be a little more complicated because they may circulate crumbs or food particles 🙅‍♀️

That’s why I chose to bring my own. It gives me peace of mind and makes quick gluten-free meals easy. 🍕

Remember that living gluten free doesn’t require you to replace every kitchen gadget. It’s about understanding where cross-contact risk may exist and making informed decisions for yourself or your loved one. 💚

Hot take? Maybe. 👀

I don’t think label reading apps should be your main strategy for staying safe while living gluten-free.

Are they helpful tools sometimes? Absolutely.
Can they make shopping feel faster or less overwhelming? Sure.

But when it comes to managing Celiac Disease, learning how to actually read ingredient labels yourself is one of the most important skills you can develop.

Apps can:
❌ Miss ingredient changes
❌ Contain outdated information
❌ Give conflicting recommendations
❌ Create more confusion and anxiety instead of confidence

At the end of the day, no app understands your health better than you do.

My newest blog post breaks down:
✔️ Why I don’t recommend outsourcing label reading
✔️ What to actually look for on food labels
✔️ How to become more confident grocery shopping gluten-free

Read the full blog post here https://glutenfreedomnutrition.com/why-i-dont-recommend-label-reading-apps/ 💚

And before the comments come in, this isn’t about shaming anyone for using apps. It’s about building knowledge and confidence so you can make informed decisions for yourself.

“I could never eat like that.”

Comments like this can feel really isolating when you live with Celiac Disease or dietary restrictions every single day.

Trust me, I’d love to not have to think about cross contact, ingredients, restaurants, travel, or whether food is safe. But this isn’t a choice or a trend for me (and lots of others). It’s treatment for my chronic illness.

One thing I’ve learned though? The right people won’t make you feel like a burden for taking care of yourself.

They’ll ask the right questions.
They’ll want to learn.
They’ll help you find somewhere safe to eat.
They’ll support your needs without making you feel “difficult.”

So if you’ve ever felt awkward, guilty, or “too much” because of your food restrictions, this is your reminder that your needs are valid 💚

And to everyone else: small comments can stick with people more than you realize.

Cookout season is here ☀️🌭🍉

And while summer gatherings can be fun, they can also feel a little stressful when you’re gluten-free. Between shared utensils, marinades, buns, pasta salads, and cross contact… there’s often more to think about than people realize.

That’s exactly why I created my FREE guide:
✨ Tips to Enjoy a Summer Cookout While Gluten Free ✨

Inside, I cover:
✔️ Questions to ask before you go
✔️ Easy things to bring with you
✔️ Common cross contact situations
✔️ Simple ways to feel more prepared and less anxious at cookouts this summer

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or just trying to feel more confident navigating summer events, I hope this helps make things a little easier.

Is sourdough gluten-free? 🍞🤔

This is one of the MOST common questions I hear from people newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity. While sourdough goes through a fermentation process that changes the bread, traditional sourdough made from wheat, rye, or barley is still NOT safe for those living gluten-free.

In my newest blog post, I’m breaking down:
✨ Why fermentation doesn’t remove gluten completely
✨ The truth about sourdough and Celiac Disease
✨ What makes gluten-free sourdough different
✨ Gluten-free options for people who still love that tangy sourdough flavor

If you’ve ever been confused by sourdough claims online, this post is for you 👏

Hi, I’m Alexa! The dietitian behind this page 👋💚

If you’re new here, I’m a Registered Dietitian and I've been living with Celiac Disease for over 10 years. I know firsthand that going gluten-free is about so much more than just “avoiding bread.” It’s learning how to navigate restaurants, labels, social events, travel, cross contact, and all the emotions that can come with it too.

That’s exactly why I’m passionate about helping people with Celiac Disease feel more confident, informed, and less overwhelmed in their gluten-free journey ✨

When I’m not talking all things gluten-free, you can usually find me soaking up summer with swimming, boating, and gluten-free s’mores by the campfire ☀️🔥🍫

I’m so glad you’re here this Celiac Disease Awareness Month! Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or years into your journey, you’re always welcome here 💚
