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....
