Hi, I'm Trina! I wanted to reintroduce myself since we’re in the midst of #celiacawarenessmonth. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in January 2017, and I have been living gluten-free ever since! Currently, I live in Madison, Wisconsin, with my two cats and my fiancé, Jacob, who is the chef behind several of the gluten-free dishes I showcase on this Instagram page. We're also expecting our little one this month, so I'm here for all your questions about my personal experience with celiac and pregnancy!
My journey with celiac started after I received a positive transglutaminase IgA test and endoscopy confirmed celiac disease. I remember asking a dietician how much gluten I could have and feeling very lost after her answer: She brought out a blank piece of paper, made a perfect dot with the tip of her pen in the center, and said, "Less than 20 parts per million of gluten — even a crumb — could cause an immune reaction.”
I left that appointment thinking of of all the spaghetti, breads, beer, fried onion rings, cakes and other foods I would be missing out on for the rest of my life. The beginning of my gluten-free journey was difficult — heck, I'm still learning — but flash forward to today, and I have found joy in recreating my old favorite foods, and trying new gluten-free products and restaurants. I love sharing what I've learned in order to help others adapt to a gluten-free diet!
