- Living with celiac disease and following a strict gluten-free diet can be challenging, but one thing that is seldom discussed is how it affects our relationships. In this video, I invited my lovely partner, Colin, to give tips on how he changes his habits to accommodate my gluten-free life.
We cover how to keep your home gluten-free (and celiac-safe), as well as how to navigate restaurants and events.

ROBYN! Editing, jokes, advice, all EXCELLENT!
But I need MORE engagement content in the future! Wahhhh!
What a considerate man! Congratulations on putting a ring on it!
I laughed the entire time while watching this. It was informative and your dynamic is wonderful. Colin- you’re one of the good ones !
Talk about 2 people that were born to be together, you 2 truly love one another and it shows !!! Look forward to watching all your video,, love love the bloopers too!
Congratulations on all the things! You two have a great rapport, similar senses of humor, and similar looks! I appreciated Colin’s input: my tongue got fuzzy when I ate fresh pineapple (now I avoid it) and phone calls CAN be difficult! 😂 But his advice is spot-on. “Don’t gluten the …” is a constant refrain at our dinner table as we coach our children on keeping our main dishes safe. 3 out of 7 of us have celiac disease.
CONGRATS on moving, on the engagement and Master's, wow how incredible! thank you so much for sharing such lovely moments with us. the new place looks amazing + WOW your hair is so long! great to see you again with such a great topic Robyn! my partner is the type to chow into delicious, soft, warm bread + absentmindedly say "omg you gotta try this" before he catches himself, so I loved this video lol.
Read every label every time! Yes! I check labels at the store, when I put it away at the house and when I use it. Three times. Every time!
I have Hashimotos so it’s similar to celiac, I think we just have different reactions and how long being sick lasts. 😅 haven’t been horribly sick since I’ve been with my husband because he is so adamant about me taking care of myself
Congratulations on the engagement AND your Masters! This was a great video! Sharing!
Lovely video, Congratulations Robyn!
Congratulations Colin and Robyn!!!!
What an awesome video, in so many ways!! It seriously warmed my heart hearing all the things Colin can do and has been doing to support you. I hope other partner's out there heed this kind and wonderful advice. :) And wowowow CONGRATS on all the things!
Congratulations 🎉
And so happy that I came across your channel!
Great insight and content
Awesome video! I haven’t been diagnosed but I do think I’m gluten intolerant. Colen is a riot 😂Happy to have found your channel!!❤
This video was so precious! It's great to see how much Colin takes care of you! Congrats on your engagement! I loved your hair!
This was amazing. I loved the entire video it's spot on!!! This warmed my heart thank you! ❤
Sweet. Thank you!
And, congratulations! ❤❤❤
As a father of an affected child, i once wrote him this rap years ago to cheer him up and distract him. Maybe you will like it too.
Verse 1:
Listen up y'all, I got a story to tell
About a disease that affects the small intestine as well
Celiac disease, also known as gluten intolerance
It messes with the gut, causing severe reliance
On a gluten-free diet, it's a daily struggle
But sufferers gotta stay strong, like a muscle
Chorus:
Zöliakie, Zöliakie
Ain't no joke, it's a reality
Ain't no cure, but we can manage
With a gluten-free lifestyle, we can still ravage
Verse 2:
Symptoms can include bloating and diarrhea
But it's not just physical, it can affect ya mentally ya
Depression and anxiety, it's a real struggle
But we gotta stay strong, like a muscle
Cross contamination is a real fear
But we gotta keep on living, ain't no time for a tear
Chorus:
Zöliakie, Zöliakie
Ain't no joke, it's a reality
Ain't no cure, but we can manage
With a gluten-free lifestyle, we can still ravage
Verse 3:
We gotta educate and raise awareness
For this disease that affects so many of us
Research is ongoing, but we gotta stay hopeful
That one day, a cure will become possible
In the meantime, we gotta live our best lives
Despite the struggles, we gotta strive
Chorus:
Zöliakie, Zöliakie
Ain't no joke, it's a reality
Ain't no cure, but we can manage
With a gluten-free lifestyle, we can still ravage
Outro:
So if you know someone with celiac disease
Show them some love and give them some peace
And remember, together we can make a change
For a better future, without gluten exchange.
You are a beautiful couple! Congratulations on your engagement!!! Thank you for this very fun and informative video! ☺
Respect is paramount. This would very rare and informative. Being on the same page as a unit in love and in life. God bless both of you🙏
Congrats on your engagement!!! I need to be gluten-free and dairy free for my severe eczema but I can tolerate a little cross contam (sorry Robyn I know it’s totally not fair) I don’t currently have a partner but I do have two family members (one for digestive issues and one supporter) that are gluten-free it is amazing how nice it is to have a whole crop of family that understand and are supportive and are willing to pick restaurants that are a treat for me too. Or go to our one gluten free dairy free bake shop and get me a special treat. Thank you and Colin for all your videos they have been such a help on this journey!
Haha. Love your acting. I’m deaf. Love your facial expression. Congrats!!!! This is a great video. I’m going to share this to everyone on my social media!
Omg you guys are adorable! Congrats!
Awww, congrats Robyn & Colin. You make a nice couple. Colin it is nice to meet the man behind the camera. Robyn I enjoy your videos very much. Your courses are amazing and I am so happy to learn how to bake gf goodies from scratch. Looking forward to the pasta course, I believe I heard that one correctly ...... Cheers from Alberta!!
Hello from Australia! Just subscribed and thank you for your amazing vids 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks so much, Natalie! 😊🙏🏻
I have been celiac for 10 years this February and currently live in a household of 8 people. Me, my husband, our 4 kids and my in laws. It's been a little discouraging lately just because I had a rhythm in my kitchen and house and retraining people how to keep me safe it feels like a lot for now lol. A couple of things I do is have my own butter dish everyone in the house knows its for gluten free safe only. I keep thiers on the counter and hide mine in a cupboard the same with peanut butter I have my own hidden in a tall cupboard and labeled 100 times. I have been glutened from someone using my peanut butter and not paying attention. And I was told it wasn't labeled well. So now my peanut butter has no spot on it that doesn't say " gluten fee only""if you are not mom don't use!!" I do have a dedicated toaster as well and we use parchment paper a lot too. Also I made the decision several years ago to not have any regular flour in the house at all for safety. It's just how it is.
Colin needs to be on camera more often he is really funny and professional at the same time , I really enjoyed this video a lot.👍👍👍👍
You guys are so funny❤. So happy I found your channel.
Congratulations Robyn & Colin (with one L)!! 💍A very helpful video!
Congratulations! Have a question 🤔 as a ciliac, kisses are the issue with us. It begins with have you had gluten, then did you brush your teeth to well it was hours ago 😳. So what's your rules? No cross contact. We can't be the only ones. I treat it like a peanut allergy.
Congrats that is awesome.
Well you guys are the cutest couple ever ❤
Thank you!! 🥹❤️
Happy for you guys. Haha living with gluten allergies its annoying for me having to deal with it mainly for troubling other people as they have to accomidate me. But, before that its annoying how everyone doesn't take it seriously or understand the severity.
Haha living in a asian house hold and marrying into a another, darnit if they will legit try to kill me thinking i can eat this or that because they can lol. Then they'll think if its white its rice flour based not wheat (example udon noodles, asian meat buns, egg rolls or egg noodles). Always have to keep up my guard.
Edit: oh yea and theres also other gluten sources such as rye and barely
Hi 👋 congratulations 🎊 question do you also use gluten free cosmetics and hygiene products?
This man is hilarious!
❤❤❤
Get married already! Lots of perks to being married! You're so cute together! ❤
Thanks!! June 16th 🥳
Forgot to ask, how do I communicate with restaurants. What’s the best questions to ask? It’s so hard for me because I’m deaf and it makes me antisocial because of that. Staying home and cook often. But how do I handle this better for restaurants? Can you share more tips??? Where I can write it down the questions in advance?
O also if your partner has facial hair they have to make sure they are clean of crumbs before they give you a kiss!! Little kids too are crumb machines lol I taught mine tp always wipe thier face before they come snuggle and kiss me
Bread! I've spent countless amounts of money to find the right bread.
My daughter cannot use those things on her skin either.
Are you aware that some companies add gluten to soaps, makeup, shampoos, creams, etc? Check some hidden words listed on products. It's awful packaging can't do better!
Good to know
What about kissing?
