Vacation Bliss
Nestled in the rolling hills and mountains of Vermont lies literally the sweetest little factory imaginable. It is the Ben & Jerry's Factory, and my family and I were lucky enough to be able to go there this weekend. Never one to pass up an opportunity to eat ice cream, especially Ben & Jerry's, I was ecstatic. After a short tour of the facility, and an education on how their delicacies are made, patrons are then given a sample of their glorious ice cream. The best part? There was a lisGet Over Yourself, Rachael Ray!
All I can say about the Rachael Ray Cookbook, 365 and No Repeats! (written in a slang-laden, simplicity-encouraging, style that caters (pardon the pun) to User-Friendliness), is that RR has forgotten a few things now that she's ubiquitously uber famous: We don't have sous chefs to chop, dice, and julienne everything, so it doesn't take only 35 minutes prep for us- that timing planner box is WAY off! We don't have people to handwash 3 pots, a pan, and a Baking Dish for one meal After we just

Did you know that Gluten can affect the receptors in the brain the same way Opium does? I didn't. It makes sense however, who of us hasn't sat down to a fabulously crafted pizza, or a bowl of pasta and felt that lethargy come on? It also explains why gluten / wheat products can be addictive in their own right, making it difficult for those of us who absolutely know, we KNOW we can't eat them, and yet we just can't help ourselves sometimes. After the last time I made the mistake of thinking oneGluten Allergy: What It's Really Like
I see a lot of stories about Gluten allergies, but none tell the real story. What it's really like on a daily basis to have a gluten allergy. Most people think, Oh well, if you don't eat it you must feel fine. Not so! We may feel better, but it's a constant battle. We have to be ever vigilant against the threat of cross contamination, of wheat being in our cosmetics, (cosmetics! How insane is that?) of slipping up and having "just a little", of bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or nausea, of skWinn-Dixie Issues Voluntary Recall On ‘Winn-Dixie Choco Charm Chocolate Drink’ Due To Mislabeling And Undeclared Wheat
Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., (NASDAQ: WINN) is voluntarily recalling “Winn-Dixie Choco Charm Chocolate Drink” from its in-store dairy departments because the product may be mislabeled and may contain the undeclared allergen of wheat. Individuals sensitive to wheat protein can suffer a moderate-acute allergic reaction. Sold in the dairy department of Winn-Dixie and SaveRite stores, the “Winn-Dixie Choco Charm Chocolate Drink” features a 128 oz. (one gallon) clear plastic bottle with a yellow bottleBe Careful!
I am astounded by the amount of foods and products that either have gluten, or wheat flour added to them. Even the delicious salads from restaurants, you know the ones, with the adorable little bags of nuts they give you to sprinkle on top gleefully? Those nuts are coated in wheat flour. Why? What could they possibly add to make nuts better? The answer is that they sweeten the nuts with a nasty little mixture of honey, and sugar and other chemicals designed to "enhance the flavor' and the flourWhole Foods Market Announces Recall For Marinades in Six Mid-Atlantic States and Washington, D.C. Because of Undeclared Wheat
Whole Foods Market announces that it is recalling two beer-flavored marinades sold in Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Princeton and Marlton, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. because of undeclared wheat and soy allergens on the label.

I am so happy to have to started my blog on Celiac.com. Since I have started my gluten free diet one of the most important things is to find a bread that is not filled with starch and white rice. This was so important for me so that I did not gain weight when making the complete change to be gluten free. THe problem with so many breads today is they are packed with potato starch and tons of carbs. Over the next few months I will be researching low carb gluten free breads by many different bGluten Free Living, Southern Style!
New Digs! Southern hospitality is alive and well in Atlanta: neighborhood barbeques, strangers who chat and wave, and amazing food everywhere! We've been officially "peached".

Wyden, Leahy Letter Asks FDA For Gluten-Free Food Standards
Expected Four Years Ago, the Standards for Gluten-Free Labeling on Foods have Still Not Been Released Washington, D.C. – After more than four years of inaction by the Food and Drug Administration on their statutory requirement to finalize standards for gluten-free labeling on foods, U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) have sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg seeking answers for the extreme delay and an update on when the FDA will propose a final ruleThe List of Ingredients People THINK Have Gluten, but Really DON’T
Learning which ingredients are gluten-free and which are not, takes some time and patience. Within the first few months you learn a lot of what you need to know to live gluten-free. But there are a few lingering ingredients that it took me a while to digest, remember and even accept they are gluten-free. Here is a quick list of items that really are gluten-free even though there might be something out there that makes you think they aren’t. Vinegar Two times since Emma as been diagnose
How Long To Gluten Challenge?
I know 2-3 months sounds rough. That is why I've never gone back and challenged. You got me curious. I'm linking abstracts for you, as they're publicly available but I checked full text for two of the papers as the challenge time length wasn't in the abstract. Here is an article showing median time to relapse in children with gluten challenge with a low amount of gluten is 13 weeks.

Celaic And Oats
As far as oats, the scientific consensus is that while most celiacs can eat uncontaminated oats safely, a few cannot. Across studies, some people have dropped out of oat studies because they felt unwell, and one had a biopsy-proven reaction. There are also immunological measures that suggest minor reactions in some people. What's recommended in the literature now is that celiacs eating oats be followed with blood tests to be sure they can tolerate them. Here's a link to two abstracts of rBlue Cheese
If you're ultra-sensitive, there is the blue cheese question too. Many blue cheeses are 100% naturally gluten free but some artisan cheeses have the mold culture started on bread. There is still no detectable gluten in the finished cheese so even the cheeses with cultures that were started on bread are safe for almost all of us. If you're unlucky enough to react to distilled alcohols or other grain-based products that also have no detectable gluten it's something to be aware of. This is aChronic Pain.....anyone?
I was just diagnosed if February with celiac disease. I have had all the typical classic symptoms through out my entire life, so you can imagine the relief I felt when there was finally an answer to what seemed to others as my chronic ailments and complaining. Im currently doing well on the diet. I was working with a sports dietitian from the Olympic Training Center in CO this past fall which is what oddly enough led to my initial diagnosis. I am a Traithlete as well as a Coach and the day to da
How Gluten Intolerance Might Work
Yes, that's the study. The role of an innate IL-15 response as the first step in celiac is also pretty well documented. The model is gluten -> IL-15 through innate immunity -> interferon-gamma and NK cells -> inflammation and apoptosis of epithelial cells -> abnormal antigen presentation of gliadin by DQ2 or DQ8 -> anti-gliadin antibodies -> recruitment of CD8+ cells to the intestine to "kill" the gluten -> (insert uncertain mystery step) -> TTG antibodies -> celiac.10 Tips to Empower Celiac Children to Live Gluten Free
It’s hard to imagine. In six years my celiac daughter, Emma, will go to college — living a gluten free life away from her sheltered little gluten free cocoon we’ve put together for her. Yes, someday I will need to stop being the go-to gluten-free food encyclopedia and trust that she can keep herself healthy. Six years may seem like forever away, but before I know it, it will be here. And what will we have taught her? Top 10 Tips to Empower a Gluten Free Child These are in no particular-

Yes, I have one of the older models and have tested many products with it. For me it seems like a valuable tool and I have used it to test foods that I eat regularly, which are naturally gluten-free, for example salsa, refried beans, etc.

Has anyone tried the NIMA gluten detector? I'm seriously thinking of investing in one. I haven't eaten out at a restaurant since my late diagnosis 4 years ago (I'm 55 in March) Any information would be greatly appreciated
