Peanut Shells on the Floor No More
I was reading about Outback Steakhouse and their gluten-free menu the other day when my mind wandered back to my days as a stock analyst. In particular, I was thinking about the early 1990’s when I was a restaurant analyst. There was a “steakhouse boom” where chains such as Outback, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Lone […]

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. […]

How is Sjögren’s Syndrome Diagnosed?
There are several ways to test for Sjögren’s which I have added below, even though I have an Article on this very topic posted at the Gluten Free Help website. I personally had the eye test done (brings back memories) and then the blood test done. I have an account with a lab and can […]

Going Blind! by Sandi Star, CCN
I remember using a ton of eye drops and never getting any relief. I was finding pieces of Sclera (the white, dense, fibrous outer coating of the eyeball) inside the lids and I was getting scarring. I was working full time and going to school at night; looking at a computer screen all day and books […]

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 […]

I’m sitting here with three gluten-free custom cereals, each one blended to my specifications, even down to the name. Custom Choice Cereal is really an innovative idea to help those on the gluten-free diet.

Treating Autism with Bentonite Clay
As a children’s author, researcher, and humanitarian, I have been growing increasingly alarmed at the growing rate of autism diagnosis. Whereas in the 1980s, a study shows that 4 in every 10,000 children exhibited signs of autism, a study conducted recently by Cambridge University’s Autism Research Center showed that approximately 1 in 60 children […]
