One Year Anniversary

[heathen]

on thursday, i will have been diagnosed for a full year (time flies, right?), and i want this year to be different from the "will i ever be able to eat again" fest that i had last year. i feel better, i made it through the holidays, i found frozen chebe bread, i baked my first gluten free pumpkin pie--these are all things to celebrate!

so what do you crazy celiacs do for fun--and of course, it has to involve eating, since all major life events come with a meal.

personally, i might hit up PF Changs, but i'm open to suggestions.

Hit up your local movie theater and pig out on popcorn. Of course, you'll want to call first to verify whether or not the popcorn is gluten free. Our theater's popcorn is and many others are as well.

You could curl up on the couch with a few good friends and a big tub of Edy's ice cream (their website tells you which products are gluten free) and watch a great movie.

Or you could go out to eat... Fine dining restaurants can often accomodate special diets, Outback Steakhouse, PF Changs, Carraba's, Bonefish Grill...

Congrats! When I hit my one-year I invited all my friends over for a taco dinner. My one-year felt like a second birthday to me I was so excited!

Congrats, I just hit my one year mark too..feeling better, but still having stomach pain, thought it would have stopped by now.

go out and havea nice gluten-free meal!!
