Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

Celiac.com 10/22/2013 - Yeah, you heard right. People who've been dreaming of the day the Girl Scouts would offer a gluten-free cookie can stop dreaming!

That's because a select group of Girl Scout councils nationwide will be slinging the organization's very first gluten-free offering as part of the 2013-14 Cookie Sale.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
The new cookie, called the Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Shortbread cookie, is made with real chocolate chips and real butter, and contains no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, no high fructose corn syrup, no palm oil, and no hydrogenated oils.

The gluten-free cookies will be sold in a 5 ounce resealable foil pouch, with 12 pouches per case.

Finally! I was a Brownie leader for twelve girls, through all four of my daughters' Brownie stages. We sold hundreds of boxes of cookies each year. But when my youngest was diagnosed with celiac disease we stopped selling and buying and made donations instead. I didn't want to have a houseful of cookies that she couldn't enjoy. And now that she's a freshman in high school, Girl Scouts has done it! Hooray! Thank you for making a cookie that's healthier than ever and safe for celiacs and others!

Celiac.com 01/25/2013 - Faced with calls to accommodate rising numbers of gluten-free parishioners, more Christian churches and are increasingly offering a gluten-free option for those rising numbers of gluten-free members who seek to take communion.
A number of churches in the US and the UK have already taken measures to accommodate gluten-free members with gluten-free and low-gluten offerings.
And while there is still a bit of wrangling in the Catholic church in the US about the acceptable gluten-content of communion wafers, it looks like more traditional Catholic and Anglican churches in Australia are now joining ranks in offering a gluten-free communion option for their parishioners.
According to Mike Grieger, whose Australian Church Resources organization sells gluten-free...

  Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

  Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot. It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

  Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results. The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal...
