The symptoms of celiac disease cover a wide range and are variable from person to person, but according to the Canadian Celiac Association, there are some symptoms that seem to be particularly common among celiac children.
These are: vomiting, irritability, behavioral changes, delayed growth or puberty, short stature, and dental enamel abnormalities.
According to Celiacs, Inc., the symptoms of celiac disease usually manifest in children after three to five months after they first ingest gluten, but this period of time may be shorter (“as short as one month”). Their website lists additional celiac symptoms commonly found in children, such as a large abdomen, abnormal stools (large, pale, or floating), flattened buttocks, and acute diarrhea and dehydration. Older children will experience “more subtle” symptoms such as: poor appetite, poor growth, and anemia.

KA-ME literally translated means “turtle” or “tortoise” in Japanese, implying permanence and traditions to the approach in manufacturing Asian food. KA-ME is over 25 years old in the business of adhering to dietary philosophies and cooking and baking methods of the Asians, brought down through traditions.
Gluten is not a staple in the Asian world or in their foods and never has been. Even the inclusion of soy and wheat is “an American idea.” How absurd!
KA-ME has delicious gluten-free, single-serve rice crackers as well as lightly-salted ones which I really enjoyed and would purchase again.
The company manufactures more products and many in Asia, yet these are the only two I tested and can comment upon.

Celaic disease, which has a wide variety of symptoms in itself, often is attended by other health conditions. According to the Canadian Celiac Association, for this reason, it’s recommended that people with celiac disease symptoms or a family history of celiac disease get tested for the following associated conditions:
-Osteoporosis
-Type 1 diabetes mellitus
-Other autoimmune disease (such as autoimmune hepatitis or autoimmune thyroid disease)
-Down syndrome
-Turner syndrome
-Lymphoma

You can order a copy of the Winter print edition of the Journal of Gluten Sensitivity to read my article, “U.S. Has Yet to Define ‘Gluten-Free’ for Food Labels,” in which I take up the critical subject of the FDA’s gluten-free labeling regulations.
The Journal of Gluten Sensitivity is a print and online quarterly newsletter co-edited by the founder of Celiac.com, Scott Adams. It publishes articles geared toward those on the gluten-free diet for reasons of celiac disease, gluten intolerance, as well as wheat allergies, keeping readers up-to-date on the latest scientific research and developments in the gluten-free arena. I am honored to have my article included in its Winter publication.

I tested all 5 flavors of gluten-free Mary’s Gone Crackers as well as three flavors of their Sticks & Twigs, somewhat a replacement for your slender pretzels, but with a much more grainy, crunchy, and hearty flavor. I was not all that fond of them and found them to be quite dry and as a result ran a taste test with my L.A. team and a “party” in Florida with over 15 people. The unanimous decision was that they were a bit dry and flavorless.
The round crackers are beautifully displayed and a terrific idea, made with organic brown rice, quinoa, and flax. Again, they were a bit dry, and we found them to be best eaten with a moist topping or spread. The Caraway was the most true to its name in its taste and has the most flavor.
Mary Waldner, founder of Mary’s Gone Crackers, suffered from intestinal pain for years until discovering her pain was the result of gluten, and her son was soon after diagnosed with celiac disease. Mary’s Gone Crackers has been her solution to satisfy the needs of people and her family with a good, nutritious fiber-packed food.
Here is a video review I did on these wonderful crackers:

I’m pleased to say that my popular Gluten-Free “No Pudge” Brownies in a Cup recipe has made it into the latest Vancouver Chapter Canadian Celiac Association’s Newsletter! My “No Pudge” brownies are one of my favorite quick gluten-free desserts. These babies are low-fat and don’t even taste gluten-free. The best part? They take just a minute to make in the microwave!
The CCA is a fantastic organization—what an honor to have my recipe featured by them.

Fulfilling the requirements of both the Canadian and U.S. government standards for gluten-free (http://glutenfreehelp.info) facility certification is no easy task. Ask Beth Armour of Cream Hill Estates, Canada.
Cream Hill Estates routinely undergoes painstaking and expensive tests to eliminate any and all possibilities of cross-contamination. The complicated and demanding process begins with the transportation of the select seed and crop of specific farmers via “proper” vehicles to the gluten-free facility.
The cost of the select seed is high. It is 99% pure, with only one non-oat seed per 25,000 seeds of oats. The fields must be proven gluten-free for three years with additional standards met such as distance to other lands and ditches. Inspectors visit regularly.
“Cream Hill Estates uses only equipment dedicated to further the process by high pressure air and industrial vacuum to eliminate any possibility cross-contamination,” Beth says. “Their trucks and storage bins are handled the same way.”
Cream Hill Estates tests their products at various stages in the lengthy and expensive process, and they are also tested at a laboratory certified by the Canadian government.
The Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) has established a specific standard for growth, harvesting, and processing oats in Canada of 20 parts per million (ppm). Beth Armour says her oat flakes test under 5ppm. http://www.creamhillestates.com/
Adding gluten-free oats to a celiac person’s diet (http://glutenfreehelp.info/celiac-or-gluten-sensitive) is another test. It can be tolerated successfully with a gradual approach in recommended dosages. The additional fiber and health benefits will be a welcome addition to the celiac patient’s diet. It’s recommend that a quarter of a cup of dry rolled oats be the maximum for adult consumption.
Dr. Peter Green, MD, the head of the Celiac Disease Research Center at Columbia University (http://glutenfreehelp.info/gluten-free-info), recommends annual blood tests as well as “appropriate timed” biopsies for celiac patients who decide to add oats to their diet. Dr. Green supports the attempt to add oats to the gluten-free diet for additional fiber and increased variety.

Nuts Online is your source for just about any nut and nut flour we could ask for. I made wonderful cashew flour chocolate chip cookies one evening, and the next evening I made macadamia nut flour bread as a substitute for my almond flour bread.
This company has been around since 1929 and has remained in this family since its inception and will have many years in business to come. They offer raw nuts but also roast their own, select premium quality, and take care of their customers. Any questions, comments, or suggestions are always welcome, according to the family of owners.
As a third generation business, they are familiar with the topic and subject of celiac disease and will guarantee absolute satisfaction. They became educated on the topic and then decided to analyze their ingredient list and got facility certification ensuring no cross-contamination. They do random testing on their products, and now they are certified by a GF organization, which assures they are under 10 ppm, according to the owners.
They carry dried fruits and other snacks besides the nuts, ground nuts, and nut flours I like. Their list contains over 3,000 products. Worth taking a peek. www.nutsonline.com

This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe submitted to one of my testers, Miranda Jade. She loved some of the holiday treats that are on sale and decided to make a slight change and come up with her own recipe. Hint: her favorite starts with the word Moose.
After a couple tries- the below simple recipe was her winner! Thanks Miranda Jade!
Ingredients:
12 oz Chocolate Chips
12 oz Caramel
½ cup nuts crushed up
Sorghum- 6cups popped
Directions:
- Pop enough sorghum to fill up 6 cups.
- Spread sorghum on waxed paper evenly.
- Melt chocolate and drizzle evenly on top of half of the sorghum.
- Melt caramel and drizzle evenly over the other half of the sorghum.
- Sprinkle nuts evenly over all sorghum.
- Let sorghum cool completely.
- Peal sorghum off wax paper and put in a jar in hunks.
- Shake jar lightly to mix.
Enjoy!
Again, thanks Miranda Jade.
Check out the review I did on the company Just Poppin. They have the best sorghum!

Recently I published a rave review of Just Poppin’s delicious popped sorghum, including many recipes which include this delicious ingredient. More recipes will be posted over the coming months so be sure to sign up for my regular emails on the Home Page.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a very large banner featuring my review and me sitting along with Oprah. Yes, that is right! Just Poppin is an amazing company with an amazing gluten free product unlike others, sorghum. They were honored to have a company appearance in Oprah Magazine and well, the rest is history.
