The recipient of our Twisted Bakery’s Gluten-Free White Bread and Bun Mix is announced!

I know this is a site for celiacs, but many of you may know dogs suffer from gluten sensitivity as well. Today, PupLife.com is recognizing a company for its specialty food for gluten-sensitive dogs. The product is Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Raw Dog Food — “Keen” brand.  The news release that came out this morning says the company “…combines the wholesomeness of a homemade diet with the convenience of an easy-to-prepare, scientifically balanced blend.” I know of two families who have to watch gluten in their dogs! The Keen brand, which won the award, is a “low-gluten” dog food.  But I did find a gluten-free version on Honest Kitchen’s website called “Thrive”.  Apparently my puppy loves gluten-free food judging from the gluten-free cookies she ate off my counter while we were at Christmas Eve services (Santa had to have a gluten-free rice krispie bar instead) and the gluten-free chocolate cake she ate last fall. If you have someone who’s dog seems to be sensitive to certain foods, this may be the time to try something different!

A dining challenge for me ended up driving change at a restaurant in my neck of the woods. Not just that…I had a great meal!

When I told people I was going on the gluten-free diet this month, many reacted to me, “I’m surprised you haven’t already tried it.” I’m not, for me I needed to do it on my own when I was ready. Now I am…here’s my first post since going gluten-free on January third.

If you ever doubted the high cost of gluten-free specialty foods, a relatively new study out of Canada slaps us all in the face with the incredible cost of those foods. Sometimes you have no choice but to buy them (gluten-free pretzels/pasta/pizza), but this post looks at other ways to save on gluten-free food and my theory on why it’s all so expensive.

Do you dream about a day when you can order a gluten-free brownie when you stop at Starbucks….Your dream may become a reality!

Nag…nag…nag. That’s not what I want to be. But when I see someone who’s clearly sick and I think their problems could be symptoms of celiac disease, I tell them. But how much information is too much and you’re considered a nag?

Where was the most celiac-friendly destination in 2008? See what one gluten-free travel site had to say.

You’ve heard about our adventure hosting an exchange student with celiac disease. Now I’ve learned of another young lady with celiac disease who also wants to come here for next school year. Interested? Read on….
