On January 4, 2011 I received my Celiac Disease diagnosis, I finally had the answer to what was wrong with me. Within 2 weeks of going Gluten Free I was a completely new person! I felt better, I slept better, food wasn’t my enemy, my mind was clear and within 2 months we were pregnant with twins! Living Gluten Free was been the best and most freeing thing I have ever done. You can read my full story here.
Since I am 4 years in I want to celebrate with a party! One kitchen appliance I really love is my spiralizer so I want to share one with you guys! Here is a basic recipe and a video of how to use the spiralizer.
Here are other recipes using the spiralizer:
Sweet Potato Noodles with Spinach and Bacon
Party Time

Chrystal says
Thank you for doing this giveaway. Your page has been a great source of info over the last year navigating new foods for my daughter who is having thyroid issues. And the doctors not knowing the source of her issues. Going gluten free has been a relief and a struggle.

Deb Parker says
What a great kitchen tool! Congrats on 4 years. I am barely at 4 months. Loving the changes but still in the learning curve. I hope it gets easier!
Jessica says
I’ll be celebrating my 4 year Celiac diagnosis anniversary in March. What a blessing in disguise that diagnosis was! Congratulations on your 4 year mark! May you have another happy and healthy GF year 🙂
Lara Liles says
GF for 8 weeks due to severe wheat allergy. Love your blog! We are neighbors. I live in Johnston County so I have enjoyed your posts about local restaurants and events.
EVA says
I went GF in December 2012- and it was SUCH a good decision. Yeah, I”m 19 and it’s kind of killing my social life, but it forced me to try (and now LOVE) foods that I hated or would never touch. What’s more, I’ve always hated salads, but now I crave one every single meal! I’ve also learned to cook and bake, and now love that too….good god, anybody scared of diagnosis should not be- it can be pretty damn rewarding for more than your gut!
Dee Fedor says
Mostly gluten free for 10 years now. Not the hubs.
Jennifer Spector says

Phyllis Mueller says
I received my diagnosis on my 51st birthday! Happy Birthday to me!!! Its been 8 years, and, honestly, I still struggle psychologically. I work in a school where food is included in all meetings, celebrations, etc. This is wonderful, but I get tired of not being able to participate. Not the same when you have to bring your own food! Now struggling with esophageal disease, and all food has to be soft. Food really is an enemy for me!!! Crazy!! The spiralizer looks like a great option for me to be able to fix food in a way I can manage!
Delia White says
I have been gluten free for 25 years.

Nora says
I have been gluten free and dairy free since 2001. I had been quite ill and lost a lot of weight, had severe migraine headaches daily, and could barely function. After testing and then eliminating gluten and dairy, my headaches completely disappeared, the diarrhea and weight loss stopped and I was able to gain back to a healthy weight. But most of all, I regained my life. I continue to be surprised at how many people are diagnosed all the time. I read recently about the use of GMO wheat and corn and the use of roundup to treat the crops while they are growing and to ripen them.
I have heard of the spiralizer but had never pursued it. After watching your video explaining it, I am anxious to get one. Thanks for sharing that.
Andrea Acosta says
two years! I wish I had known earlier, I felt so great after going gluten free!

This would be Awesome!
Val S says
Sorry, just noticed I was supposed to answer a question;
I’ve been GF for 3 years, quit cheating 2 years ago and put both my kids GF 2 years ago. My mom was diagnosed Celiac about 5 years ago, and it took her that long to convince me. I got so much healthier, my doc apologized for not figuring it out!
Denise D says
Would love, love, love the spiralizer, I see many great meals being made with that!! Feel free to send it my way, been gf since 2007, and now 2 others in the family have been dx too.
Jeanne L says
It’s been 31 years since I was diagnosed. It does get a lot easier as you get used to reading labels, and know what to buy and where to get it. And it’s so much better now than it was when I first started the gf diet! I’m so glad you’re doing so well Pam!
Pam says
I have been gluten free for about 6 months. I am still struggling with some symptoms and knowing exactly what to eat but I will get there.
imaceliac says
Hang in there girl! You can do this and the symptoms will get better the longer you are Gluten Free!
Lorynn R. says
i was diagnosed with gluten intolerance by my dr about two years ago & have been trying to eat clean since then. I do fall off the wagon sometimes & then pay for it by being sick but this past year after visiting the Gluten Free Expo in Dallas, I really found some great tasting gluten free brands that actually taste good. I try not to eat packaged foods, but sometimes if you are in a hurry, you just have to. 🙂
J. Barnes says
I’ve been GF for just over 2 years.
Beverly says
I decided to eat gf in 2014, due to my number of auto immune diseases. I’ve found the Internet & fellow gf eaters sharing is the best way to learn as I go!
