Miss Princess ~ my favorite gluten-free cupcake at Gigi’s
Searching for something sweet one afternoon in Overland Park, KS, I turned on my iPhone maps app and searched for ‘gluten free bakeries’. Only two blocks away (lucky me!), I drove to Gigi’s Cupcakes and the rest is history. I’m hooked. Gigi’s Cupcakes are the b e s t gluten-free cupcakes I’ve ever tasted.

According to www.meetup.com, they have 101 Meetup groups, in 86 cities, in 14 countries in existence today, with 7.041 people ‘interested’ and a huge 18,451 members across the globe – just for Celiac Disease!

Diagram from www.livethesmartway.com
Those of us with a gluten intolerance, or celiac disease, might already carry the visual in our heads of what our small intestines must look like, both before we quit eating gluten, and now that we follow a gluten-free lifestyle.
It’s an odd topic to many, and misunderstood, so I went to the web to share the simplest visuals with you. Once you see them, clarity of what’s going on ‘inside’ is much easier to explain to others, and perhaps, to ourselves.
