&lt;h5&gt;Welcome to Julia&amp;rsquo;s Faves Blog! My name is Julia, and I am the founder and CEO of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.GlutenFreedomForAll.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;GlutenFreedomForAll&lt;/a&gt;. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2019, and my goal is to make living gluten-free easier for everyone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;I have decided to start this blog to spread awareness of celiac disease, our work at GlutenFreedomForAll, and gluten-free living in general! All opinions in each blog post are my own, and my experience with celiac may be different than someone else&amp;rsquo;s. I am not a medical professional, so make sure to consult a doctor for any medical advice!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Please reach out if you have any thoughts, questions, or suggestions. I&amp;rsquo;d love to hear from you!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;-Julia&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h5&gt;

                <![CDATA[ &lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;In today&amp;rsquo;s day and age, many people are aware of gluten-free foods. Eating gluten-free seems to be a trend, but what exactly is celiac disease? According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.beyondceliac.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Beyond Celiac&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;ldquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that&amp;rsquo;s triggered by consuming gluten and results in damage to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;small intestine&amp;rdquo;. Gluten is a protein that is found in wheat, barley, and rye.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;If you have celiac disease, you have to eat gluten-free. You also have to avoid &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bidmc.org/centers-and-departments/digestive-disease-center/services-and-programs/celiac-center/celiacnow/nutrition-and-the-gluten-free-diet/cross-contamination#:~:text=Cross%2Dcontact%20(also%20known%20as,that%20is%20not%20gluten%2Dfree.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;cross contamination&lt;/a&gt; (for example: cross contamination would occur if croutons containing gluten were originally on an otherwise gluten-free salad and then picked off).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;When reading food labels, someone with celiac would have to watch out for wheat, barley, and rye, not just wheat. Barley and rye can be tricky! The learning curve can be pretty steep with celiac, but with more and more practice it does get easier.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Common &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/symptoms/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;symptoms&lt;/a&gt; of celiac include diarrhea, fatigue, and a skin rash called Dermatitis Herpetiformis. If your doctor tests you for celiac, it would likely be via bloodwork or an endoscopy with biopsies. The only &amp;ldquo;cure&amp;rdquo; for celiac at the moment is a strict gluten-free diet. But there are many companies &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.beyondceliac.org/research/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;researching&lt;/a&gt; to find a treatment and eventually a cure!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;You can learn more about celiac disease, symptoms, and treatments at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.beyondceliac.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;BeyondCeliac.org&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h6&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;*I am not a medical professional. Please consult a doctor if you think you may have celiac or need to be gluten-free*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h6&gt; ]]>

                <![CDATA[ &lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I found it increasingly difficult to find quick and easy on-the-go snacks that were also celiac safe. I often didn&amp;rsquo;t have time to stand in an aisle at an airport or&amp;nbsp; convenience store reading every label. Growing up in an entrepreneurial household, I thought what better way to solve a problem than by starting a company?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Turns out I was not the only person with this problem. I talked with many people with celiac who were frustrated that &amp;ldquo;spontaneity&amp;rdquo; was not in our vocabulary. I decided to create a gluten-free snack pack filled with multiple celiac safe snacks that could easily fit on a shelf, in your hand, or in your bag. In each snack pack there is a QR code to leave feedback - we love hearing what our customers love (and maybe would like to see changed) about our snack packs!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Our snack packs are crave-worthy, including snacks like &lt;a href=&quot;https://homefreetreats.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;chocolate chip cookies&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.albanesecandy.com/gummies/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;gummi bears&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://nuts.com/snacks/single-serve/banana-chips-single-serves.html?utm_source=google&amp;amp;utm_campaign=WITHIN_d2c_acq_Performance-Max_ftb_product_driedfruit&amp;amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw4MSzBhC8ARIsAPFOuyUHVNwbyPOHLoi31aT93_Cn7Xr9DAJMKA6g7DP6NpCYKdk4BvHxeIYaAhc6EALw_wcB&amp;amp;utm_campaignid=21274722647&amp;amp;utm_adgroupid=&amp;amp;utm_adid=&amp;amp;utm_keyword=&amp;amp;utm_matchtype=&amp;amp;utm_adgroup=&amp;amp;utm_content=21274722647&amp;amp;gad_source=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;banana chips&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://umlandscrunchycheese.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;cheese puffs&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp; They are perfect for traveling and any on-the-go situation. We are currently in hotel gift shops and minibars, universities, convenience stores, and even an airport nationwide. Have a location you think should carry our snack packs? &lt;a href=&quot;https://glutenfreedomforall.com/pages/contact-us&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Email me&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;We work with an expert celiac registered dietitian who reviews all the snacks to make sure everything is celiac-safe. And, a portion of all profits is donated to celiac disease research and efforts to combat gluten-free food insecurity. We primarily work with The &lt;a href=&quot;https://celiacdiseasecenter.columbia.edu/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Celiac Disease Center&lt;/a&gt; at Columbia University and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.projectjustbecause.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Project Just Because&lt;/a&gt; to help achieve &lt;a href=&quot;https://glutenfreedomforall.com/pages/glutenfreedomfoundation&quot;&gt;our goal of giving back&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;It has been a dream come true to work at a company whose mission is so personal to me. Hearing such incredible customer feedback is just the cherry on top!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; data-mce-fragment=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Have any thoughts or suggestions? My &lt;a href=&quot;https://glutenfreedomforall.com/pages/contact-us&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;inbox&lt;/a&gt; is always open!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

                <![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; font-size: 18pt;&quot;&gt;Over the past five years I&amp;rsquo;ve tried my fair share of gluten-free restaurants, with some becoming my staples. When I was drafting a list, the ideas just kept coming, so I decided to make this a multi part blog post! Here&amp;rsquo;s a list of some of my absolute favorites (in no particular order) with my go-to order. Many of these restaurants have featured posts on my instagram feed @glutenfree_juliag. Let me know if you try them!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; font-size: 18pt;&quot;&gt;P.S. - The corresponding website is linked to each restaurant name!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 18pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bartaco.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Bartaco&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;list-style-type: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;I love the fun, casual atmosphere of Bartaco. It&amp;rsquo;s always on the list for girls night! You can scan a qr code to order and pay individually if you want. A majority of their menu is gluten-free and they have a separate fryer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Seaport, Brookline, and Fenway (as well as many others across MA and the US)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Julia&amp;rsquo;s Faves: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Glazed Pork Belly Tacos and the Watermelon Basil Smash cocktail&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;list-style-type: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Eventide is where I ate my very first oyster (and oyster shooter)! The quality can&amp;rsquo;t be beat, and their gluten-free lobster rolls are arguably better than their gluten ones. The bun is the fluffiest I&amp;rsquo;ve ever eaten!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Fenway, Maine&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Julia&amp;rsquo;s Faves:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Love Point Oysters, Warm Brown Butter Lobster Roll&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Everything you would want in a restaurant on Newbury Street! From the flower arch at the front door to the extensive gluten-free options, Faccia is my favorite place for a special occasion (I had my graduation dinner and will have my birthday dinner here!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Boston&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;list-style-type: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Twist is dedicated gluten-free, and safe for many other allergies as well.

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; South Boston, Fenway&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Tuesdays are gluten-free nights where everything is safe for celiac! Even on other nights there are tons of gluten-free options. I love to order a bunch of appetizers for my meal and share with my family! My 21st birthday was on a Tuesday and I was surprised with the best party ever!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;South Boston&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;A great breakfast spot, and they make homemade gluten-free bread! Not your typical breakfast spot with many unique offerings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Alewife, Davis Square, Watertown, Boston, Lexington&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

They always offer a gluten-free menu when you arrive, and have a strong commitment to take care of all allergies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Locations(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; All over Mass, New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Just like 110 Grill, Tavern in The Square has the best array of fried foods. I love to watch sports games there - they even have gluten-free beer!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; All over Mass, Rhode Island, and Connecticut&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;A recent find that has turned into a favorite! They have a separate gluten-free menu with many options (even dessert that isn&amp;rsquo;t ice cream!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Burlington, Boston, Lynnfield, and more&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Julia&amp;rsquo;s Faves: &lt;/strong&gt;Caesar salad with grilled chicken and the pork burger with blueberry ketchup&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; font-size: 18pt;&quot;&gt;Having lived right outside Boston my entire life, you know that as soon as I got diagnosed with celiac 5 years ago I would be trying every gluten-free option available&amp;hellip; Which is why there is a part two (and there will likely be more parts!) Make sure to check out @glutenfree_juliag on instagram to see pictures of the food I get at each restaurant!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;A classic bar and grill with an unwavering commitment to being allergy safe! They have a robust gluten-free menu and you could never tell the difference. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;All across MA and beyond&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Julia&amp;rsquo;s Faves: General Tso Cauliflower&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;A new cafe opened by the same owner as Faccia Faccia, Verveine is 100% gluten-free and the place to bring your friend who doesn&amp;rsquo;t believe that gluten-free can be good. The bread is unreal and the pastries are unique and delicious! I wish they had a location right next to my house. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Cambridge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Casual and delicious Italian food with many gluten-free options. I love the shape of their gluten-free pasta and they even have ravioli!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Newbury Street&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Mass Ave Cambridge &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The most magical dedicated gluten-free afternoon tea experience. My family and I can&amp;rsquo;t get enough - we try to go each season to get a taste of the different menus!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Tremont Street Boston&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;A great breakfast and lunch spot with casual atmosphere and deep knowledge of celiac! My sandwich was made in a separate area with separate knives and I can&amp;rsquo;t wait to visit again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Beacon Hill&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;A classic Italian restaurant with portions larger than I&amp;rsquo;ve ever seen, and some of the best gluten-free pasta I&amp;rsquo;ve ever had! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;North End&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Julia&amp;rsquo;s Faves:&lt;/strong&gt; Pasta with Matriciana Sauce&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;list-style-type: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;list-style-type: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;One of my favorite upscale Italian eateries, they do a great job catering to gluten-free. They have gluten-free pasta available and can make many accommodations for other menu items. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location(s): &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Harvard Square, Charles Street Boston&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

                <![CDATA[ &lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;My Celiac Disease Diagnosis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Turning 16 is supposed to be an exciting milestone&amp;mdash;learning to drive, preparing for senior year, and starting to think about colleges. But for me, my junior year took an unexpected turn with a diagnosis that felt both overwhelming and impossible to face. After about a year of pain, questions, and various &quot;diagnoses&quot;, I was officially diagnosed with celiac disease in April 2019 and my world as I knew it changed in an instant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;I am Julia, founder of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://glutenfreedomforall.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;GlutenFreedomForAll&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;, and this is my story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Diagnosis: A Rollercoaster of Emotions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It all started with a series of symptoms that seemed to come in an instant&amp;mdash; sharp shooting pains, nausea, weight loss, and spending way too much time in the bathroom. My doctor chalked them up to stress or IBS, but when these symptoms became increasingly disruptive, my parents pushed for an endoscopy. After an endoscopy and biopsy, the results came back positive: &lt;a href=&quot;https://glutenfreedomforall.com/pages/about-us#shopify-section-rich-text-our-julia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;I had celiac disease&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At first, I was in shock. Celiac disease? Gluten? What did that even mean? I had thought that being gluten-free was just a fad diet. There was a lot of confusion, fear, and frustration. Growing up embracing my Italian and Greek cultures (where everything is about the food), the thought of changing my diet so drastically felt like losing a part of myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Understanding Celiac Disease&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those unfamiliar, &lt;a href=&quot;https://glutenfreedomforall.com/a/blog/post/celiac-disease-101&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; where ingesting gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine. This means that every meal has to be meticulously planned to avoid cross contamination, which can be a challenge, especially when dining out or attending social events. Living with celiac disease is serious, but there are ways to cope with it and manage it in an effective way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Embracing the Gluten-Free Lifestyle&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first few months were undoubtedly the toughest. I remember my initial grocery trips&amp;mdash;navigating the aisles in a daze, trying to understand food labels, and feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of new information. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/gluten-free-diet/art-20048530&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The gluten-free diet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; isn&amp;rsquo;t just about avoiding bread and pasta; gluten hides in the most unexpected places like sauces, dressings, and even some medications. I certainly didn&#039;t expect soy sauce and Lindt truffles to contain gluten.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But as weeks turned into months, I started to see improvements in my health. My energy levels climbed back up, my stomach pains began to fade, and I felt more like myself. Slowly, I became more adept at finding gluten-free options and even started experimenting with my own recipes and posting all of my gluten-free food finds on instagram.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebuilding My Social Life&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the biggest adjustments was navigating social situations. I had always enjoyed exploring new restaurants with friends, attending family gatherings, and grabbing a donut after school with my sister. Now, I had to explain my dietary restrictions and sometimes even bring my own food to events. It felt isolating at first, but as my friends and family became more educated about celiac disease, their support grew stronger. I am so lucky to have such an incredible support system. They learned to accommodate my needs, and I discovered a network of restaurants and bakeries that offered delicious gluten-free options. Check out my other blog posts and Instragram for some great gluten-free food recommendations in Boston and beyond!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Living with Celiac: Finding a New Normal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Living with celiac disease is a constant balancing act, but it&amp;rsquo;s also a reminder of how resilient and adaptable we can be. I&#039;ve learned to advocate for myself and educate others about the importance of adhering to a strict gluten-free diet. It&amp;rsquo;s not just about preference; it&amp;rsquo;s a necessity for my health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This journey has also taught me a lot about self-care and self-love. It&amp;rsquo;s about being kind to myself when I make mistakes and recognizing the strength it takes to face a new set of challenges. At 22, I might not have imagined this being a part of my life, but I&amp;rsquo;ve learned that navigating such challenges with grace and positivity can lead to unexpected growth and empowerment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I have coped with my diagnosis, I have found my favorite quote to be from Senator Tammy Duckworth. She says that &quot;sometimes it takes dealing with a disability...to uncover our true abilities and how we can put them to work for us in ways we may have never imagined&quot;. Although she was not speaking about celiac disease specifically, I find her sentiment just as motivating. Although I never expected to have celiac, it has made me a stronger, more empathetic person.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To Others with a Celiac Disease Story of Your Own&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;ve recently been diagnosed with celiac disease or are dealing with an unexpected chronic condition, know that you&amp;rsquo;re not alone. It&amp;rsquo;s okay to feel overwhelmed, and it&amp;rsquo;s okay to take your time adjusting. Reach out to support groups, seek out resources, and don&amp;rsquo;t hesitate to lean on friends and family. This new chapter of your life iving with Celiac Disease or another chronic condition might seem daunting, but it&amp;rsquo;s also an opportunity to rediscover yourself and embrace a new way of living. Who knows - perhaps you will be the next greatest gluten-free pastry chef or start a gluten-free snack company!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day, getting my celiac disease diagnosis has taught me to never take my health for granted and appreciate the support system around me. It&amp;rsquo;s not the life I planned, but it&amp;rsquo;s the life I&amp;rsquo;m learning to live with courage and resilience. And for that, I&amp;rsquo;m grateful.&lt;/p&gt;
