Food Company Review: simplyrice™
Simplyrice™ rice crisps are gluten-free snacks with a kick. Each flavor is really a taste to be experienced. I love organic brown jasmine rice and this is the base for simply rice crackers. They have only four ingredients and all are 100% organic, according to the company: brown jasmine rice, sunflower oil, sea salt, and […]
Pharmacies and Gluten in Medication
Gluten is used in many medications as an excipient, so it is important for people with celiac disease to check with the manufacturer to be sure that each medication they take is gluten-free. Some patients may ask for their pharmacist’s help in reading the list of ingredients or contacting the manufacturer directly. It’s also important […]

A cookie story and a family story is the story of MI-DEL. Mr. Samuel Midel started off with creating healthy cookies in Chicago.

Gorge Delights – Gluten Free Treats
Gorge Delights Just Fruit bars were a pleasant surprise to my taste buds after testing so many bars over the previous weeks.

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. […]
