Be BRAVE

This was my former application for the Dr.Schär glutenfree summer 2016, I meant the words, so I did not delete them. I still want to share them with you.

The diseases Celiac and gluten sensitivity limit your life drastically. They are both related to lifelong diets otherwise suffering from chronic pain. After my diagnosis I had to reassemble my life completely. First I only took baby steps, and with the help of my supportive parents and friends, who also adapted to my special food needs we all grew together.

I understand both sides – the sick person wants to live freely. The dear ones want to see the sick one happy. It takes a lot of power to overcome this gap. I want to raise awareness how easy the glutenfree life is, thanks to innovative products  and I put myself out there with my blog to show people, that everything is possible with a supportive social network.

The one thing I missed most was food, that tasted „normal“. Fortunately I’ve found Dr.Schär products along other brands at my local drug store and I grew to love many glutenfree products. That’s how we reintroduced the joy of good food and pleasure of sharing meals into my life again.

One thing that really bugged me was the fact that travelling was SO difficult with all the limitations. I was lucky, because my parents took me on camping trips, so they catered glutenfree products for the journey and we never had to worry. But seldom had I had the opportunity to enjoy myself in a hotel. They were badly prepared or ran out of the products. The thought of hotels, which cooperate with Dr. Schär is pretty amazing. It will absolutely simplify going on vacation! I love the idea of carefree parents and happy children!

I want to go on this Italy tour to show the real Dolce Vita Senza Glutine in Italy. That’s my blog’s title and I live by theese words every day since my diagnosis. Travelling carefree gives you freedom. Never have a obstacle, like an illnes, come in the way of what you love. There are great sportsmen/women, actors/actresses and politicians with gluten related problems. So YOU can live not only a „normal“ live, but a thriving, amazing and thrilling one! Go for it. You can do it. Be brave and push your own boundaries. There is a whole world waiting for you. Pack your sandwiches and go for it! 😀
