Welcome to The Savvy Celiac. Where we help smart people become savvy gluten free consumers.

Every day news is made regarding celiac disease and its only treatment: a gluten free diet. Whether it is information about gluten free foods, recipes, scientific research, school tips, eating out, or the basics about the disease symptoms that come with having celiac, we talk about and report on it here using reliable sources and key experts to create great content.

If you have celiac disease, a non-celiac gluten sensitivity or are eating gluten free for other reasons, our one goal is to empower you with information to live a healthy gluten free life.
 

As someone who’s managing the gluten-free diets of two children, it is very frustrating when I find out something is no longer gluten-free. But what appears to be happening is some companies are claiming formerly gluten-free products, now have gluten…but getting any more information out of them sometimes is impossible. Why? I sought out advice from an expert.

Do you wonder what health issues your body is predisposed to? You can find out using any of the different services on the market. Some are more basic than others, but there are things you should know before spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on any of them.

From stomach pain and diarrhea to scoliosis, brittle hair and joint pain. They all have one thing in common, they are all prominent symptoms celiacs had before their diagnosis. The results of my symptom list are complete. I asked for your top three symptoms and this list has very interesting results!

Proposed legislation regarding food allergies at restaurants is encouraging for all people with specialized diets. But will these state-wide bills help customers on a gluten-free diet, since gluten is not considered a top allergen?

Helping out a cause that is important to me is a vital part of who I am. Our annual event that raises money for celiac disease is that cause for me. Some years I’ve been more active than others. This year however is a biggie –filled with challenges and rewards.

This is the final installment of my discussion with my daughter about growing up gluten-free. This time she looks at how the future could be for kids like her with celiac disease.

As you know I am not one to regurgitate what other bloggers are blogging about. I prefer to gather and write my own posts with fresh interviews and insight. But I wanted to provide a link for you to a post I think could be helpful for everyone. It talks about how you can find good resources on iTunes; podcasts, movies –many free of charge. The information is at glutenfreehub.com. It also has links to iPhone applications. In October, I already discussed the costs and alternatives to the iPhone apps on this site. Readers also offered their feedback to me which I posted in an iPhone app follow-up. See what you can do to make the technology out there, work for you and your family!
