I recently published a post on my blog about how my daughter had her “best celiac day ever”. Those were her exact words. What I found in just the last day is that people seem to have at least one story about their best, happiest moments when it comes to celiac disease. Now it’s time to share.
Needless to say, when Emma rushed into the house and said, “Mom, I just had the best celiac day EVER!” It really piqued my interest! What could it be? A new great lunch at school? A party and someone thought to get gluten-free treats? What?? Tell Me!
During a recent stop at a local book store with the kids I thought I’d check out the health and diet sections to see what books they have on celiac disease and gluten free diets. I didn’t really need another book, but I was willing to splurge if I found one I wanted. Boy..what a disappointment.

Getting a good gluten-free Italian meal certainly is a challenge. Pizza has come a long way when it comes to dining out, but pasta dishes at a restaurant — they’re still pretty rare. So when I saw Donatelli’s expanded gluten-free menu…I dragged the family there!
Today we’ve got a few interesting nuggets of gluten-free news, including gluten-free samples, a yummy corn bread mix, a little restaurant info and more.
Become a member or don’t become a member? Usually people who live near a big warehouse club store like Costco or Sam’s Club at some point consider whether they want to join. But if you are gluten-free you have an added question — Is it even worth it now that my food choices are more limited?
Did your child get celiac because you introduced gluten at a time when they had an infection, including gastroenteritis? Researchers in this latest study want to know if the timing of this played a role in the triggering of celiac disease.
New research looks at whether the gut issues involved with lactose intolerance could actually be something else…that’s where celiac comes in.
