Masha Lives Gluten Free

North America leads in a global food allergy crisis. What I mean by that is that food allergies have been on the rise over the past decade.

I have to mention some of these stats….Over 3 million Canadians, approx. 7.5% of our population, are affected by food allergies, according to Food Allergy Canada.

Approximately 33 million Americans have at least one food allergy (and that’s 9.5% of the population, according to Food Allergy Research and Education).

What is going on? Why aren’t we talking about it more? Who in your family is affected?

This is our Food Allergy & Sensitivity Journey...

I'm Masha 👋 and I live with multiple food sensitivities while raising a child with multiple food allergies.

It started when my son Sebastian was only 2 months old. We thought it was just “Eczema” at first. Many infants/toddlers have it, so we didn’t think much of it. His symptoms included eczema, colic, frequent skin rashes and food reactions.

The real answers came once he started solids. Between 1-2 years old, my son was diagnosed with multiple Food Allergies which included Wheat, Egg, Sesame Seeds & Some Nuts.

As diligent parents, we thought we were prepared and well informed. But a single slice of Gluten Free cake at Sebastian's brother’s 1st birthday party (that unknowingly to us contained eggs) changed our entire outlook. Watching Sebastian have a terrifying food reaction turned our world upside down. We had to educate ourselves and our loved ones to be more aware of the hidden allergens around us.

Now, we check every label, ask the right questions, and never go anywhere without an EpiPen.

While managing my son's health, I was ignoring my own. For years, I lived with:

• Constant fatigue & brain fog
• Bloating & abdominal pain
• Stubborn acne
• Failure to thrive
• Weight gain (more recently)

In 2024 on a family vacation in Hawaii, I collapsed on the beach. This was my wake-up call to stop ignoring the signals my body was sending. After months of testing, I discovered I was iron deficient and have multiple food sensitivities.

We now live in an allergy-aware home where we learn how to thrive, not just survive.

Seeing my son grow up in a world filled with hidden allergens—while navigating my own sensitivities—is what drives me. That's why I'm building the community I wish I had.

Today is Celiac Awareness Day in Canada! 💚

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of the kind, caring, and open-hearted people living with celiac disease. I see you, I hear you, and I know the strength it takes to navigate this every single day. While I don’t personally have celiac disease, my child has a wheat allergy, so I can deeply relate to the constant label reading, planning ahead, worrying, and advocating that comes with food restrictions.

Happy Celiac Awareness Day! 🤗

And for those of you living in Toronto — the CN Tower is being lit up green tonight in honour of the celiac community! 💚

I finally put 3 more flours to the test to see how they compare and let you know whether you should spend your money on them. I was definitely surprised by the results... and of course, my kids had some very honest opinions to share along the way😆

Can’t wait to hear what you think of these brands! See you on Sunday:)
