New research published this week looks at the association between celiac disease and women’s reproductive troubles. Previous estimates believe more than 36,000 American women are infertile because they have undiagnosed celiac disease. The details in this new study are truly interesting.
While on our recent family trip to Washington, DC, one easy solution for a meal was to eat breakfast every day at the hotel restaurant. And here the chef didn’t settle for the “easy out” — eggs. As Emma said, “MMMMM SOOOOO good!”
Time to whet that gluten-free appetite of yours and tempt you with some of the most memorable food of the year! Yup the Minnesota State Fair is just a few weeks away and there are 13 new companies on the list of vendors and their gluten-free food offerings! Plus, if you like this– how about getting into the Fair for FREE!!

Is it bad that I’d prefer my daughter have a reaction if she eats gluten? In general, if Emma’s had gluten, I really want to “witness” it. But why? Is it that former newsie coming out in me—the nosey side? Am I just a concerned parent or worse, maybe I’m just wishing the worst on my own daughter.
Sometimes vacation doesn’t seem so relaxing when you have to plan every detail at each restaurant –so you can be sure you get a gluten-free meal in a city that is completely unknown to you. This vacation: Washington DC. This, and the next few posts, hopefully will help you navigate your way through DC as a family.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve worked hard to get my kid with celiac disease to eat not just gluten-free, but also healthy– but is it enough? New research out of Canada says — maybe not.
A few molecules in the gluten protein found in wheat, barley and rye could be the “troublemakers” — the ones that cause damage– to the guts of celiac patients. Now researchers hope to use this discovery to create a vaccine!
In a matter of days we’ll be off and running to Washington DC with the kids — one of which is my 11-year-old daughter, who has celiac disease. So I’ve been doing some gluten-free dining research. Hopefully this post, and subsequent comments, will help you (and me) if you’re headed out there sometime soon.
We have all benefited from the gluten-free food trend. Whether you have celiac disease, a gluten sensitivity or neither, people across the country are trying the diet for various reasons. Now new research says for companies, there may be some “cons” with the “pros” of going with a gluten-free line of products.
