    Girl Scouts Debut First Gluten-free Cookies

    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!

    Photo: Wikimedia_CommonsThat'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!

    Hillary Clinton Celebrates 65th Birthday with Gluten-free Cake
    Celiac.com 11/23/2012 - In the latest gluten-free celebrity news, none other than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton celebrated her 65th birthday (that's right, she's now officially a senior citizen) with a gluten-free birthday cake.
    Clinton celebrated her birthday last weekend at a fancy inn in rural Connecticut inn with Bill, Chelsea, and Chelsea's husband, Marc before catching a flight to Algeria to address the crisis in neighboring Mali, according to a report in the New York Post. According to the Post's sources, Bill and Hillary stayed up late playing cards in the lobby.
    Clinton's birthday cake was not only gluten-free, but also vegan, as husband Bill has been a vegan for a few years now. Daughter Chelsea's 2010 wedding also featured a gluten-free cake.

    Gluten-free Pizza Sets Record for World's Largest Pie
    Celiac.com 01/11/2013 - In case you were wondering just how big gluten-free pizza has become, the answer is: Big. Very big. World-record big.
    Consider the recent news from Italy, where five chefs joined forces to craft the world's largest pizza, a pizza which also happens to be gluten-free.
    The pie shattered the previous world record for largest pizza ever baked, and set a new record for world's largest gluten-free pizza.
    To make the pizza, the chefs used 19,800 pounds of Schar gluten-free flour, 2,480 gallons of water, 10,000 pounds of tomato sauce, 8,800 pounds of mozzarella cheese, 1,488 pounds of margarine, 551 pounds of rock salt, 275 pounds of parmesan cheese, 220 pounds of lettuce and 55 pounds of vinegar, and 298 gallons of yeast.

    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...

    Celiac.com 11/04/2014 - Not long ago, the market for gluten-free products was regarded as a market of specialty products intended for niche shoppers and vendors. That has changed rapidly, as the market has evolved into a bona fide mainstream market serving shoppers with a strong affiliation for gluten-free products.
    The overall market for gluten-free products is currently dominated by North American manufacturers and vendors, followed by their European counterparts. An abundance of new products and steadily rising consumer demand are driving the strong growth in the gluten-free products market.
    A comprehensive new report in the market breaks down the overall market into geographic and products segments. The report is titled “Gluten-Free Products Market by Type (Bakery & Confectionery, ...

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      If I'm not mistaken, you need to count by the grams of GLUTEN, not the gram weight of the bread. So, instead of counting each slice of bread as 35 grams, it would be counted as 2 grams, so that's why the recommendation is 5 slices a day = 10 grams. One of the moderators can correct me if I'm wrong on that!

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      Question re: life/health insurance: if you're already under these policies, do you have to notify them if you receive an official diagnosis, or is that only for new policies? I have had two active term life insurance policies for many years that I pay a set amount into. And my employer covers my health insurance. So, do I need to let them both know if...

      Feeling ill

      Not knowing how long I have to wait for a hospital appointment for the intestine and biopsy seems to make things worse. The thing is if you have headaches you take pain killers, isn’t there anything that I can do?.
