I had the tv on GMA ealier but was not really watching it and I could swear that Sarah (food contributor) said that some cinnamon buns were wheat free and gluten free. She went quickly on to the next thing so I don't know if I misheard her or not. Nothing else on the table was mentioned as gluten free. Did anyone else see this and if so, is that what she said about the cin. buns - that they were gluten free? If so that's pretty awesome!

Was it Sara Moulton?

I didn't see it but.....I tried to do a search at gma and they are having a netwok outage :unsure:

Usually they will have the recipes of the foods that were shown on air on the website.

I didn't see it, but that is very possible. She works at Gourmet Magazine which featured Annalise Roberts in their November issue. Maybe I'll send an e-mail to one of my friends there to find out, and if that was infact the case find out if they were from Annalise's recipe.

I'll let you know.

I finally got on to the gma site, here is what they sat about Sara's appearance (on first glance I don't notice any mention of anything gluten-free):

July 11, 2006 — Every year, "Good Morning America's" food editor Sara Moulton navigates her way through aisle after aisle at the Fancy Food Show.

At this year's 52nd Summer Fancy Food Show, 160,000 food products were featured.

The show, which is closed to the public and travels around the country, kicked off in New York on Sunday and ends its Big Apple stay today.

To see where it goes next, visit the show's Web site.

All the products featured there will be available to the public within weeks. Moulton found that this year, the predominant flavor trends were wasabi and pomegranates.

Check out some of the great new products she found below.

Okay - I'm sure it was the cin. buns she mentioned as being wheat free and gluten free. I don't think I was dreaming. I'm going to try and e-mail Sarah and see if I heard her correctly or not. Thanks for posting the list - see the word free in the cin. buns? That's why I'm thinking that's it. I'll post a response if I get one.

If you go to the link at the end of my post the first item on the list is the frozen cinnamon buns. There is a clickabel link to the place that makes them, it is called The Robinhood Free Meetinghouse's. That's where the "free" might be coming from. But it still could be a possibility.

Let us know if you do get a response :)

I had GMA on that morning and my husband said that she mentioned something about gluten free food. I was out of the room at the moment. I ran back in, but didn't hear anything else about gluten free foods. So if you were dreaming my husband must have been having the same dream ;)

Oh good then - I'm not totally losing it - lol! GMA has not replied to me and I doubt they will. I have to go through Sara's show I guess to try and get to her. I don't watch her so does anyone know what her food network show is called?

It said Robin Hood Free Meetinghouse's Frozen Cinnamon Buns. Robin Hood is a big flour manufacturer. Why would he and his band of merry men bake gluten-free cinnamon buns - they are in the business of selling gluteny flour.

Great if it's true, but I'm skeptical. ;)

Well maybe the same reason Whole Foods now has Gluten Free Bakehouse goods. If Lee Tobin, their head baker, had not been dx'd with Celiac a few years ago - that line would not exist today.

Thanks ChelsE for posting the links but I can't find a place to e-mail anyone at Sara's show. Let me know if I'm overlooking it. Sara said something was wheat and gluten free so now I'd really like to know what she was talking about. I'm not sure she was talking about the cin. buns but it seemed that she was.

Oh I totally forgot about this. Let me know if you don't get a response from her and I will e-mail her. (We work for the same parent company so getting an internal e-mail may help).

No reply from Sara but I'm not sure I e-mailed the right address.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
