Birthday parties are supposed to be fun—balloons, cake, friends, the whole thing.

But when you or your child is gluten-free, they can quickly become a source of stress, worry, and even heartbreak. No one wants to be the kid with the “weird cupcake” or the mom explaining gluten cross-contact for the 100th time.

In this episode, I’m sharing how we handle birthdays gluten-free—from class parties to family celebrations—without feeling left out or missing out on the joy.

You know that moment—you pick up a product that looks safe, it says "gluten-free" in bold letters… but something still makes you hesitate.

Can you trust the label? What about that "processed in a facility with wheat" note? What the heck is "malt extract" anyway?

If you’ve ever stood in a grocery aisle Googling ingredients, this episode is for you. Today I’m breaking down how to read gluten-free labels with confidence—so you can spend less time stressing and more time actually enjoying your food!

Going gluten-free is essential for those of us with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, but here’s the thing—just because a food is gluten-free doesn’t mean it’s nutritious. In fact, many gluten-free eaters struggle with nutrient deficiencies without even realizing it!

So, how do you know if you’re getting the vitamins and minerals your body needs? And what can you do if you’re falling short?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the most common nutrient deficiencies in a gluten-free diet, how they affect your health, and the best ways to make sure you’re getting enough of the right nutrients to thrive—not just survive!
