Thank goodness for all those wonderful ladies and gentleman who call themselves food scientists. They figure out so many strange and wonderful things for us to eat! Pretty much all of the food science that focuses on gluten-free food centers around at least one of the following problems: "it doesn't taste good" or "it isn't […]Click to contin...

By Lea When King Arthur kindly sent me a box of their new GF yellow cake mix, I made a batch of cupcakes to welcome some of our new team members. Before I tried them, I was contemplating how best to sound excited about cake, but I needn?t have worried. This was some of the […]Click to continue reading »

Quinoa has been touted as a wonderful miracle "grain" for anyone on a gluten-free diet for years. And with good reason! It's high in protein and amino acids and is a much more complete food than white rice or potatoes or even soy. In fact, my personal favorite gluten-free pastas have always been those that […]Click to continue reading »...

By Laura (The Gluten-Free Traveller) With the 2012 Olympics kicking off in London tomorrow, Triumph Dining decided to find out what it?s like living and training as an athlete when you also live with celiac disease.

By Bridget One of the first things any gluten-intolerant learns along with their diagnosis is that the disease is ?curable? in that by avoiding gluten completely your symptoms will subside and you can lead a normal lifestyle. Or as normal you can by avoiding everything from bread to soy sauce to evasively labeled products with […]Click to con...

I was unexpectedly at TJ Maxx (or Marshall's, I can't remember now since they're right next to each other and I went into both and I not-so-secretly think they are the same exact thing), and I popped over to the food aisle even though I didn't need anything. A quick aside: there are a surprising […]Click to continue reading »...

Thanks to Tricia at the Gluten Free Watchdog for explaining this new piece of legislation for us.

By Laura (The Gluten-Free Traveller) Being diagnosed with celiac disease and keeping to a strict gluten-free diet is hard enough.

New Glasgow, a […]Click to continue reading »

By Bridget Summertime can be filled with shorter workweeks, long weekends, and extended vacations. But, according to a recent study, as many as 17% of families with children suffering from Celiac?s Disease have reported skipping family trips because of the anticipated difficulties they will face. While Laura, The Gluten-free Traveler, can probably ...

By Laura (The Gluten-Free Traveller) Between 1984 and 1996, Sweden saw a huge rise in celiac disease amongst children under the age of two. On average it is thought that celiac disease affects around one percent of the population, but at this time Swedish children were being diagnosed with celiac disease at four times higher […]Click to conti...

When I was still a little-ish girl I somehow convinced my parents to buy me an ice cream maker. I was sure?I'd use it, use it all the time, make so much ice cream, blah blah blah… Well let's all be glad that I hadn't asked for a puppy, because I got bored of that […]Click to continue reading »

By Laura (The Gluten-Free Traveller) How aware is the chef or the staff at your favorite gluten free restaurant? Can you be certain that the person preparing your meal fully understands what celiac disease is and what you can and cannot eat? I would certainly hope so, but recent research suggests that this may not […]Click to continue reading...

By Bridget While I?ve been living a gluten-free lifestyle for three years now, there are still certain struggles I can?t seem to get past. One of these daily difficulties includes what to have for breakfast.

It's hot. Too hot to turn the oven on, some might say (I might agree). But a girl can only eat so many salads before she does something crazy, like eat ice cream for lunch (I'm sure I don't know anyone who would do this). The versatile smoothie can be a nice change of pace […]Click to continue reading »

I read that researchers in Madrid are patenting a cookie made from teff, and it got me thinking: is teff that?difficult? Now, the cookie in question has been specially designed to be suitable for not only people with celiac disease, but also diabetics, athletes and those with anemia. While it's quite healthy (teff is high […]Click to continue...

By Laura (The Gluten-Free Traveller) Recent research from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center has found that the number of US patients seeking and receiving the small bowel biopsy is very low.

Thanks to Family Practice News for pointing me to this study published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepetology entitled Patients with Celiac Disease are not Followed Up Adequately. As you can imagine, you clever readers you, the study indicates that post-diagnosis, many people with celiac disease do not receive adequate care. Data was collected...

People often comment that it seems like there's more celiac disease out there today than there was 10 or 20 or 50 years ago — that it isn't just better awareness, but that it seems like there are actually more cases to be diagnosed. And, regardless of whether I agree, disagree, or demur, inevitably, their […]Click to continue reading &#...

By Bridget Even before it was confirmed that I had a gluten intolerance, my doctor urged me to incorporate a regimen of probiotics into my daily diet regimen in order to rebuild my digestive system.

I'm not quite sure what to make of today's post, to be honest, but I thought the story was worth sharing.

The flight attendent had been employed by the airline […]Click to continue rea...

It is common for most childhood diseases […]Click to continue reading »

By Bridget ?Sensitivity to gluten is almost always equated to the gastrointestinal issues it causes. While more and more research is indicating mood and other cognitive problems associated with the protein, tummy troubles seem to be one of the only physical ailments. But if your gluten intolerance is anything like mine, you know that dental […...

A few weeks ago (OK, maybe more than a few, I was moving slow there for a while!), I got a box in the mail from Zema's Madhouse Foods. Inside, a box of?Gluten-Free Cinnamon-Oatmeal Apple Muffin Mix, which is of course what I want to talk to you about today. The general premise of Zema's […]Click to continue reading »

By Bridget As with most people diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity, my doctor ordered a much larger test to see what other foods my body didn?t process so easily.

By Bridget When I was first diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, I was so relieved to find a solution to my digestive problems and exhaustion that the exchange for a radical diet upheaval seemed okay. I didn?t really miss gluten if all the forgetfulness, irritability, and fatigue went away. The new diet I was on […]Click to continue reading &...

By Zach Contrary to popular assumption, gluten-free doesn?t have to mean grain-free. Granted, there are many grains out there such as spaghetti that are harsh to celiacs? digestive track and for people with gluten sensitivity in general. Be that as it may, celiacs and gluten-sensitive people can still enjoy the hearty textures of grains and […...

Israel can be a great place to eat gluten-free food, but it's (maybe) about to get even better for the ?country's 30,000+ celiacs.

There are many scary manifestations of celiac disease / gluten intolerance that I'm thankful not to have personal experience with. Gluten ataxia, for example, is something I can only read about during the day, with the lights on, when I'm not alone. Another is non-responsive celiac disease, also called refractory celiac disease. These are cases [&#...

By Zach Dealing with a serious health condition is complex, as people with celiac disease know, but there?s usually some kind of compromise or solution. Diabetes is definitely one of America?s most urgent and wide spread of these issues. Though the politics of diabetes are controversial, there?s hardly any room for debate about the direct […]...

By Bridget When my doctor first told me to cut wheat out of my diet, I couldn?t even remember the word ?gluten,? let alone know exactly what it meant.

By Zach When has CLIF Bar ever let anyone down or led them astray with an unfulfilled craving or unsatisfied energy boost?

Last month's study by the?Neurological Institute at Columbia University Medical Center was not the first to link migraines to celiac disease and gluten sensitivity ? but it is certainly one of the biggest and the most recent, and so even though we're a little late to report it I wanted to take a minute to […]Click to continue reading »...

By Zach Gluten-free eaters come in all shapes, sizes and carrying themselves with their own behaviors, which is an umbrella statement that can also be applied to stores and restaurants that service gluten-free foods. Here?s why: it?s hard to deny and not notice the emergence of new gluten-free options popping up each day, whether it?s […]Clic...

By Bridget As with most undiagnosed sufferers of gluten intolerance, my major symptom was digestive issues. Initially, I was instructed to add more fiber to my diet, which, to me, meant eating wheat bran and fiber one cereal (only feeding the flame of my discomfort). In the months immediately following my diagnosis, I became increasingly […]C...

By Bridget With Memorial Day weekend upon us, everyone across the country is dusting off their white shoes and barbecues. The smell of a fired up grill always brings me right into summer mode.
