Freeda Vitamins Are Gluten-Free
You’ve probably heard me speaking out about the importance of celiacs taking a gluten-free multivitamin regularly.

Lucky […]

Kaia Foods
Hearty, nutritious, earthy, and unique are words I’d use to describe all of Kaia Foods’ products. Kaia (rhymes with “papaya”) is from the Sanskrit word for “body,” kaya, yet the owners spelled it like Gaia, for the Greek goddess of the earth. Hence, body and earth come together to depict the essence of Kaia Foods. […]

My Personal Story with Bio-K Plus
While on a three-week book tour last fall in New England, I spent many meals dodging gluten, often driving away still hungry.

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.
