Gluten is Not the Real Problem?
Is it really the GLUTEN? This is news everyone needs to really know to get a bit more advanced knowledge of gluten and celiac disease and please stay informed through the many radio shows on these topics. In my research and radio shows I find it is always helpful to add a bit more advanced […]
Cereal Vit- Gluten Free Cereal

We had Cereal Vit’s Organic Corn Flakes, Organic Benevit Multi Grain Flakes, Organic Coffee Flakes (yes, coffee), and their just-released Choco Stars (yes, chocolate). The combined notes are really the only way to do a summary […]

O’Doughs

Owner, Ari Weinberg, and his current product development team have an array of loaves, rolls, cakes, and pizza kits that are not only delicious but have the texture we’ve all been yearning […]
Finding Great Gluten-Free Cookie Recipes to Bake with Your Celiac Child
Baking cookies goes back a long way in my family, and I was quick to establish it as a Turbin family tradition with my own kids. When I was diagnosed with celiac disease and adopted a gluten-free diet, I began accumulating gluten-free recipes for cookies and other baked goods so the tradition could carry […]
Cook-in-the-Kitchen
Cook-in-the-Kitchen has 4 gluten-free soups which we tested and really enjoyed. We did add a few touches, more in the area of protein and an occasional chopped fresh vegetable, but it was not a necessity to add anything to their full flavor soups. We used their Welsh Potato soup as a base for our Clam […]

Andean Dream- ONLY Gluten Free
Andean Dream’s Organic Quinoa-Rice Pasta cooks and tastes more like the “real” pasta I was used to eating before being diagnosed with celiac disease. I had seven people test the pasta with me. We all agreed. We introduced the pasta to those not on a GF diet, and they couldn’t tell it was GF pasta—that’s […]
Gluten-Free Baking Question
Tina, I have a baking question for you…. How do you get the muffins to (basically) explode above the muffin cups? All of the muffins I have ever baked (GF or otherwise) just kinda go flat once they bake…making a hockey-puck shape…how do you get “THE muffin-top”??? I’ve tried ALL different kinds of things to […]

Liz Lovely
I need to start out by letting you know that what I share with you in this review may just change your life! The subject at hand is cookies. Yes, cookies. Those delectable little (or large) morsels of “yum.” When it comes to gluten-free cookies, we celiacs tend to compromise and like our newfound cookies. […]

Celiac Disease Research Needs Support
Why is it that you and your doctors probably haven’t heard about celiac disease? Although the amount of research on celiac disease is growing, it depends entirely on the generosity of benefactors for its funding. Without these charitable donations, there would be no way to continue this research and the efforts to raise awareness. […]

So, what’s emu oil have to do with all this? Read on. Celiacs or gluten-sensitive individuals can […]
Help Your Celiac Child Avoid Cross-Contamination
I can’t insist enough the importance of teaching your child about his own condition and cross-contamination. How much your child can absorb depends on his age and maturity level. You’ll be surprised by how much a child is capable of understanding, though. Even two-year-olds can practice “reading” labels with you at the grocery store. Practice […]

In general, research suggests that less than 10 milligrams (mg) of gluten daily is unlikely to cause significant damage to the intestines in most celiac people. However, these small amounts could still be enough to make a person feel unwell. […]
