One of the newest gluten-free companies on the market also has some of the most promising baked goods I’ve ever tasted.

I’m looking at the top two gluten-free or celiac-related stories of the year. In 2009, the top spot goes to innovation, awareness and commitment to the cause.

Lots of news happened in the celiac community in 2009. This is part one of a two part recap on the celiac or gluten-free news that made it big this year.

Right now you’re hearing about every top ten list from the last decade imaginable. But I haven’t seen anyone talking about this –What has had the biggest impact on the celiac community in the last ten years (2000-2009). Voice your opinion in this survey!

It is time. Time for our children’s Christmas/Holiday musicals and the socials (which involve treats) afterwards. Whether you’re Christian or Jewish or another religion that will be gathering at this time of year, you’ll find by planning ahead, these food moments can be managed and you may be able to spread awareness at the same time!

I’ve never seen Dr. Oz’s talk show before, but I tuned in on Thursday when he featured celiac disease for an entire hour! What a coup for our cause! And Yahoo.com had a couple of stats to prove it…

A new article is out in a medical journal focusing on the need for celiac awareness in the medical community and how to diagnose it. While the article was published in a journal for physician assistants, it is a quick read for anyone wanting to learn more about celiac diagnosis.

For years I’ve only purchased big brand names of ibuprofen and cough/cold medicine for my gluten-free daughter, because I couldn’t guarantee the generic, store brand version sitting right next to the big name brand (and about a third less in cost) was gluten-free. Now it appears that’s about to change — in a bold way.

I’ll have a side of sweet potatoes with my brownie. Really?? Never in my life would I have uttered the words sweet potato and brownies in the same sentence let alone in the same baking mix! But there’s a brownie mix out there with Sweet Potatoes in it — and my picky family got a chance to try them out.

It began with the Rice Chex going gluten-free in 2008, now 18 months and several well-labeled gluten-free products later — General Mills appears to be raising the bar, yet again, on mainstream companies catering to the gluten-free consumer.
