We B Gluten Free

It is amazing how !many folks I know continue to suffer needlessly from their Celiac disease. Unlike other diseases where there are medications and !any unknowns, with Celiuac disease there are no meds, and the cause is known. In other words, there is no mystery. So why then, do some continue to suffer. Let's discuss! 1. Compliance - not eating gluten, period, the end. I find many are challenged to give up foods or deal with the emotions off a child who does not want to stick it out. BUT, I dont know anyone that would not give it all up to save the life of a loved one. Guess what, if you give up gluten you WlLL save the life of a loved one. Untreated (still eating gluten) damage and eventual death will result. How quickly depends on how quickly your body looses the battle. 2. Planning - leaving the house unprepared, no backup plan or Plan B. Gotta have it! If you were allergic to bee stings, you would carry that little needle filled with your miracle drug. Same goes here.

 The great news is that there are some really GOOD gluten free options for those of you missing that sweet, warm, toaster treat we used to call breakfast. SOOO glad to find these. And best of all, they are YUMMY! I have found these in several stores that carry a modest supply of gluten free food. I have also found these online simply by doing a search. Thank you to these companies for providing JOY and satisfaction reliving childhood memories.

I would like to spend a little time recognizing a wonderful Gluten Free bakery. Gluten Free Creation Bakery is a wonderful resource for everything from baking mixes and flowers to prepared breads, treats and everything 'starch' missing from the average gluten free plate. The founder, LynnRae Ries, was diagnosed gluten-intolerant in 2000. Out of that came a passion or mission to make great food and the gluten free life a bit easier. The baked goods and mixes are enriched with B Vitamins, iron and folic acid. There are many options for those with multiple food sensitivities or allergies. They take so many steps to assure that products are gluten free that they do not allow employees to bring any gluten products into the bakery in their own meals. Some of our favorites include; Insane Chocolate Donuts 4U These are to die for moist, tasty and chocolicious!!! Italian Herb Pizza Crust SOOO yummy with your favorite red or white sauce. Great flavor and texture for tha...
