Gluten-Free Superbowl Survival Guide

GLUTEN-FREE LIFE

So, I’ll admit, I really don’t care about the Super Bowl for the actual game. I keep forgetting which teams are in it, and I’m not even sure what Roman numeral is supposed to be denoting which Super Bowl it is this year. I DO know that Madonna, M.I.A. and Nicki Menage are playing the half-time show, so I’m looking forward to what I hope is some over-the-top fabulousness. And I’m also looking forward to some fun ads, and hanging out with fun people. The tricky part for people with dietary restrictions is, obviously, the food side of the Super Bowl tradition. Here is what I plan to do to survive (and thoroughly enjoy!) the party:

1. Eat before I go
I’m not going to absolutely stuff myself ahead of time, but I’m not going to starve myself either. I’ll probably eat something pretty satisfying, so if I see something that looks really good there that I can’t eat, I won’t feel too deprived.

2. Bring Gluten-free beer with me
I’m not a huge beer drinker, but something about the Super Bowl makes me want to join in on the good-ol-’American fun. I will most likely be taking Red Bridge, since I know I like it and it’s affordable. Hint: people might be curious and want to try it! If they do, I’ll pour some out of my bottle into a cup, or give them their own, as they may have eaten gluten and the traces on their lips can contaminate the mouth of my bottle.

3. Bring food that I can eat along
This is a good opportunity for me to be a good guest, as I’m bringing food, and also a good opportunity for others with allergies or sensitivities to feel accommodated and cared for. Since I don’t know the people I will be spending the Super Bowl with very well this year, I’ve asked the person I do know well about any other allergies in the group, so I can make my dish accommodate their needs as well.

Here is a little list of links to recipes for gluten-free Superbowl foods:

Gluten-free fast food

Gluten-free sushi

Oatmeal cookies

Gluten-free snacks on the go

Protein bars

And that’s pretty much it! With these few little preparations, I’m all set to have a good time ignoring football and hanging out with people!

Happy cheering!

My Airbnb Experiences [Free promotional coupon inside]

I must admit that I am one of the travel junkies. Ideally, I would travel every month if I could. There are so many new places in the world, just begging to be discovered by me! On my travels, I used to book hotels via the common booking portals – trivago, hotels.com and such. It was all fine, at least most of the time. You get what you pay for, right? Hotel room, breakfast and sometimes dinner or some upgrade included. Fast forward a couple of years. I received an invitation from a friend to join the Airbnb. There was even some credit for the first booking attached. To be honest, I did not have a clue at first. True, their website looked rather nice and sharp. But the whole concept – renting apartments from strangers? I was not sure about that. I have received some follow-up emails from Airbnb remaining me about my unused credit. It was $50 at the time, I think. That prompted me to give it a closer look. Tip: scroll down if you’d like to get your free Airbnb coupon for $40+ tha

Goiters and Thyroid Nodules

Image
Any enlargement of the thyroid   gland can be called a   goiter. A thyroid nodule is a growth, or lump, in or on the thyroid gland. A patient with a goiter can be either hypothyroid , hyperthyroid , or can have totally normal thyroid function. The presence of a goiter does not indicate how the thyroid gland is functioning. Some points about goiters and nodules: Thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy) for a goiter is not common. Goiters that contain either many thyroid nodules (multinodular goiter) or no thyroid nodules are  usually  not cancerous (malignant). Small thyroid nodules are detectable on ultrasound only. These are only a few millimeters in size in general.  They usually have minimal clinical significance. The majority of thyroid nodules with bigger size are also benign and usually produce no symptoms at all. The majority of thyroid cancers appear as a single thyroid lump. A solitary thyroid nodule with a bigger size. Approximately 90% of all solitary thyroid nodules are non-c

Teething. That word alone can literally make any mum cry.  It is not an easy time to go through with your baby. But it is inevitable and all we can do is to make it as pleasant as possible.

But also a huge relief when it is all through and over. That’s a lot of emotions to endure as a mom, right? Exactly that and one long roller coaster.  Teething is a hot topic among parents of infants up to 2 to 3 years (sometimes older).
