The BIG NEWS!!!!
Cheerios, as I I have listed in a previous post has made their breakfast delight Gluten Free! Hooray for Cheerios! This is big news not only because of being able to enjoy Cheerios once again, my personal favorite cereal of all times, but now Gluten Free people can enjoy having a regular sized product. Most choices given to gluten free consumers on food products have mostly been a forth of the size for at least ten times more the price. No more two bowls and off to the market to get more. Now they can be enjoyed for weeks at a time or by the whole family. Thanks Cheerios!

Hooray for Cheerios!
Cheerios is alive and well. What I had always wondered was why couldn't Cheerios be gluten free. Well it finally is! http://www.cheerios.com/GlutenFree/?gclid=CjwKEAjwpuSvBRDSkaes4OasuEESJACfwIc_dTCnjMIWn0uQu1rWvObLZg_IP9RHCISDfmqCvrHgERoCYMfw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Is it an allergy or choice?
Being gluten free is the new gay. Yes, that's right! Not that there is anything wrong with that. It doesn't matter if I'm talking to family or eating in a restaurant everyone thinks I eat this way because of choice. Why don't you just try a little? Right. I was born this way! The new trend is when I put my gluten free order in to the server at a restaurant, they ask is this an allergy or choice. Arrrrrh! I say in side myself. I take a few seconds to calm my voice and then reply, allergy thank you. When I would rather just unleash the hounds upon them! I used to welcome the people who think they don't have the allergy and want to eat our way, but now they are giving the rest of us a bad name. If you're celiac you're celiac, if not then just eat regular. Thx!

Gluten Free?
A friend of mine asked me a question about GF labeling. She had come across an item that had a gluten free label on it, but then after reading the back ingredients realized that it was made in a facility that used wheat products. She wondered if the item was gluten free and safe. It only took a moment to answer this. If an item is made in a facility that had machines air etc. exposed to processed wheat products then it cannot be truly gluten free. Don't eat it. It may not affect you initially, because there may only be small traces of gluten, but overtime you will feel the effects. Eat an apple instead....

Warning!!! Do not Drink This Beer Until you read this!
Omission Beer Claims that they are a Gluten Free Beer and that their process to rid traditional traditional beer ingredients has been successful. The greatest "Faux Pas" is that Omission has been recognized by an independent Gluten Free organization stating that they are left with only residual fragments of gluten after their brew process. This is WRONG! The body never lies and after drinking the beer after reading the box label stating that this is a gluten free option, I have found these claims to be false. I believe that they should retract their claims and discontinue their labeling promoting these claims!
This has been taken right from their Freq Asked Question section explaining their process.
"Omission beers are brewed just like other great craft beers, with malted barley, hops, water, and yeast. Once the beers are ready for the fermentation tanks, we add a brewing enzyme called Brewers Clarex™ which breaks apart and detoxifies the gluten protein chains. The beers are then packaged in a closed environment to eliminate any cross contamination risk."
There is no known or proven way to rid gluten in it, except not to use it in the first place. This reminds me of the people who believe that if they fry gluten contaminated foods at an extreme temperature they will remove the allergens. In Correct.
After drinking 2 Omission Pale Ales at a local bar I started to experience a severe reaction to the ingredients. Thinking initially that this beer was gluten free I thought that my reactions of having extreme chest pressure and heart palpitations followed by bloating and intestinal pains were the result of something that I might have eaten earlier in the day. After going to Omission's website as well as Googling other cases similar to time, I have realized that the Omission beer is the culprit. After a long night in trying to get the gluten out of my body I wake up in pain and feeling awful. So if you are like me in the sense of not being able to tolerate gluten I urge you to -
NOT DRINK THIS BEER IF YOU ARE GLUTEN SENSITIVE OR HAVE CELIAC DISEASE!
Thank you and be well....
