About Me

My name is Emily, and my company is Emport, LLC. We're the US distributor of GlutenTox Home, a kit that detects gluten in food and beverages and is made by Biomedal SL in Spain.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2002, so I'm pretty excited to represent a product that brings peace of mind to other celiacs. There's more information about GlutenTox Home available at www.glutentox.com.

    Hi Paul, I don't know about Brno, but there is a restaurant in Prague that is not only entirely gluten-free but also carries a lot of Schar products - Open Original Shared Link. It might be worth a trip if it's tough to find products closer to you. Happy eating! Emily

    As KarenG said, just eating Quaker Oats might/might not be enough to get an accurate idea of whether or not you have celiac disease (cross-contamination can vary box-to-box and bowl-to-bowl, and it's also true that while some strains of oat do contain gluten / are toxic to people with celiac disease, they have a lower toxicity than wheat). The other thing...

    Just wanted to share a study that came out last year -- one of the reasons why oats are so confusing is that not all varieties of oat are the same. The study (published in Open Original Shared Link and also reviewed here on Celiac.com) took a look at an assortment of different strains of oat. All the oats were clean/non-contaminated, but only some...

    Just a short note to add that there are some differences between the different certification programs. Joy at the Liberated Kitchen just posted a really thorough review of the different regulations and the different certifying bodies here in the US, along with the critical contamination points that certified manufacturers need to look out for" Open Original...

    Hi Sunny, These symptoms can definitely be related to gluten! For a partial list of symptoms, you could visit the National Foundation for Celiac Disease's website, they keep a Open Original Shared Link. Different people react in different amounts of time. Some know within minutes of eating gluten, some hours, some never at all (but are still...

    Glad I could help! The man at the Gelateria was really helpful and pointed out which of the flavors were/were not safe -- all you'll have to do is say the word celiac and he'll take care of the rest.

    There was an article published in Gut last month that sheds some extra light onto the oats question -- as it turns out, different strains of oat have different levels of gluten in them. The full article is here: Open Original Shared Link. And a quick note on corned beef: be careful! Lots of corned beef comes with a packet of pickling spices, and you'll...

    Agreed, Spain is great! And Seville has a special place in my gluten-free heart. There's a pharmacy in Seville, in a neighborhood called Triana, that's dedicated to celiacs and has a huge neon sign outside with the word "Celiacos" on it. They stock a bunch of gluten-free foods, but they also have a big mail order list and can send away for other things...

    This is definitely one more reason why Canada is awesome... But it's worth pointing out that beer still won't be labeled as containing gluten -- the industry was able to get an exception. You can read more about it here, I mention it just in case anyone gets lulled into a false sense of security because of all the other foods/drinks that are getting...

    I was in Rome and Venice in the fall and while there were plenty of tempting breads and pastas, both cities are actually really excellent places to be gluten-free (Italy overall has a fantastic awareness of celiac disease). The Italian Celiac Association (AIC)has a list of gluten-free restaurants (Open Original Shared Link). Unfortunately it's not in...
