How Assumptions are Dangerous when Living With Coeliac Disease & Why We Should Avoid Them: Gluten Free Thoughts

Send us Fan MailA Gluten Free Podcast Episode 130 Do you make a lot of assumptions in your gluten free life? On today's episode of Gluten Free Thoughts I'll discuss how making assumptions in our gluten free lives can be dangerous. We can assume various things with our health & be wrong. We can assume a venue or business won't be able to cater for us or create safe gluten free food & be pleasantly proved wrong. On the other hand, we can assume a venue will be able to help us & be let down. If we're not careful we can begin to assume too much in our gluten free lives. Find out my own gluten free assumptions & how I've been doing my best to train myself out of it on today's episode! What we’ll cover:* How health assumptions took over my life pre-coeliac disease diagnosis * How assumptions can show up in our own coeliac & gluten free lives * Assuming a place will cater for you with coeliac disease without doing research or communicating to staff * Assuming a venue will not be able to cater for you & they actually can * My own recent experiences of assuming places aren't able to cater for my coeliac disease & gluten free diet but they actually have * Others' assumptions about our gluten free diet, often thinking we are following a diet trend * Why we as human beings assume things * How the founder of OMG Decadent Donuts Australia didn't assume anything when he started his donut business * Teaser of next week's guest episode LinksJoin A Gluten Free Podcast Facebook GroupGet in touchYou can find me on Instagram @a.gffamily or send an email to [email protected] 📩You can also find my regular column for The Gluten Free Living magazine under the title Gluten Free Family released quarterly for Coeliac Australia members.DisclaimerThe content on this podcast is not a substitution for professional medical advice.
