- Action Steps: Always notify your dental office ahead of time about celiac disease, ask them to check product ingredient sheets, or request that they use allergen-safe or explicitly gluten-free alternatives.

Fallacy: Wheat-based sourdough bread is not safe for someone with Celiac or Gluten Sensitivity to eat. There is nothing about the fermenting process that "neutralizes" the gluten.

The ingredient maltodextrin can be made from wheat starch, but most commonly it's made from cornstarch. It's considered gluten-free regardless of starch source. Wheat starch and wheat starch hydrolysates may be included in foods labeled gluten-free provided that use of the ingredient does not cause the food product to contain a level of gluten at or above 20 ppm.
Products certified gluten free that contain maltodextrin are considered safe to eat.

Paper straws are popular as we become more focused on sustainability. Podcast listener Stacy Wilz wondered if they're safe after seeing the question in a Facebook group.
Gluten Free Watchdog has tested paper straws in the past and has stated: “there is no evidence that paper straws contain wheat starch.”
Obviously, there are straws to avoid:
•Straws made from wheat or rye straw (these are the stems of the wheat or rye plant, the stem does not naturally contain gluten, however there is a very high risk of cross-contact, stay tuned for test results on wheat straws.)
•Pasta straws
•Cookie straws

U.S. Representatives Emanuel Cleaver II (D-MO) and Betty McCollum (D-MN) introduced the Celiac Safety Act on Thursday.
The legislation is meant to strengthen food labeling law and protect the roughly 3 million Americans with celiac disease.
It’s the first proposal in Congress to require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to mandate the inclusion of “gluten-containing grains” as a major food allergen. Manufacturers would be required to label the inclusion of all gluten-containing ingredients in their products.

Her viral videos even inspire younger generations to plan meals ahead by showing easy ways to create salads that pack a delicious and nutritious punch, rescuing boring workweek menus.
Violet was diagnosed with Celiac at a young age and learned cooking and kitchen skills early. As a collegiate athlete, she started posting her cooking videos from her dorm room and they took off, propelling her following to almost 3 million!
Her salads are easy, healthful, and of course gluten free.

5 Facts a Celiac Doctor Wants You to KnowAs a Health Educator, Celiac Awareness Month in May may get me more excited than most. More than any other time of year, people are reading, sharing, and focused on educating and raising awareness about this disease. There’s nothing I like seeing better than info and resource-sharing.
However, there’s also nothing I like LESS than seeing info shared that isn’t fact-based but based solely on personal experience. While there’s nothing wrong with saying ‘this was my experience’ in some circumstances, often times this info is used to make important decisions that can impact health.
Need an example? It may look something like this: I eat X with no problem or ‘try going gluten free and see if you feel better.’ Again, well-meaning but when it comes to managing an autoimmune disease, it’s imperative to get vetted, data-driven info. Just the Celiac Disease Facts, please.
As a member of many online Celiac and Gluten Free groups, the same questions and issues come up again and again. That served as the inspiration for “5 Facts a Celiac Doctor Wants You to Know about Celiac Disease.” Working with the University of Maryland Celiac Center to create this Celiac Disease Fact Sheet, I hope you will share it with anyone you know with Celiac, who is gluten free, thinking about going free, has gluten sensitivity or cares for a child with any of the above.

At Boston Children's Hospital's Needham campus, health education is happening in an unexpected place - the kitchen. When children are diagnosed with Celiac or other conditions that require dietary modification, the are "prescribed" these classes.
What looks at first like a cooking class, is actually a doctor's appointment designed to help children and families build real-life skills around food and health.
"It's a billable service that were offering. It's a nutrition education appointment, and we're giving them the education as well as some practical skills," explained culinary nutrition manager Nolan Reese.
All hospitals need to follow this lead! Sticking to a gluten free diet requires more than education and intellectual knowledge. Practical skills are so important and build confidence. Prior studies show that practice and confidence are correlated with adherence to a gluten free diet.

hared Facilities: manufacturing facilities that produce both gluten containing and gluten free products are not necessarily a red flag. Facilities can be as large as football fields. Shared equipment, on the other hand, needs further investigation with the manufacturer if an individual decides it's worth pursuing.

On the latest Celiac Project Podcast:
Join Mike and Cam as they recap an epic four-night "travelogue" exploring college campuses through the eyes of two Celiac travelers.
Mike’s daughter, Jessica, is officially an admitted student to a number of schools, and the search is on to find the perfect fit—both academically and in the dining hall! From "head-exploding" fish and chips at Fretboard Brewing to authentic Mexican fare at Maize at the Station, Mike shares the best gluten-free finds across the University of Illinois, Indiana University, and Miami of Ohio.
Beyond the food, they dive into the realities of vetting campus dining halls, managing "awkward" student tours, and the emotional journey of a parent helping their child navigate a major life transition while staying safe and gluten-free.

Big news in the public health world this week. The Celiac Disease Foundation just released a paper outlining recommended supports for students with Celiac in college.
All of their recommendations align exactly with what I’ve been teaching my families for years. One exception: I do recommend requesting priority class registration.
Seeing these requirements in black and white, backed by professionals from all sectors, adds gravitas to our cause. It’s a win for visibility and a validation of the challenges our students face every day in the dining hall, dorms, and beyond.
We know colleges are large, slow-moving institutions. They aren’t going to overhaul their kitchens or rewrite their disability policies tomorrow just because this paper exists. To them, this is a recommendation; to us, it’s our child’s safety.
But this paper is a good tool in our toolbox.
We can (and should!) bring this document to the table during the accommodations process. We can point to it and say, "The experts agree that this accommodation is a standard of care."
If you have a senior in high school, or are preparing for the Accommodations Process, please join us on 3/25 or 3/26 for the next Accommodations Workshop.

My family is going to Italy! We are so excited, this is a trip we’ve been talking about for years. As soon the opportunity presented itself, I knew exactly who to call: Catalin Varela.
I had the pleasure of meeting Catalin a few years ago. As a young woman living in Italy, she shared her experiences on her social media and website, Celiac in Italy. She started teaching pasta making classes virtually from her kitchen in Italy in fact it’s which I made my first fresh pasta.
Catalin has been helping people plan trips to an Italy: Catalin knows Italy and knows it as someone with Celiac. We only have a short time for this trip and I knew we needed to maximize our time. I wanted a true insider’s recommendations of things to do, places to stay, shop and - of course - where to eat!
On that note, I mentioned how we’ve been thinking about this trip for years. I have places saved, videos bookmarked, lots of lists. One call with Catalin and, let’s just say, there were major revisions. Catalin even de-influenced me about a popular eatery I see constantly on social media that touts a large gluten free menus.
She has joined forces with experts with Celiacs in other European counties: UK, Greece, France and Spain. Together they are Celiacs In Europe and ready to help the community experience travel without fear and experience the food of the country. If you’re planning a trip, save yourself time and get the real scoop on what to do and safe places to eat.

Important Warning about Popular Food Allergy Candy Brand Yum Earth
Yum Earth is a company that's positioned themselves as a top nine, allergy-free candy company. They offer organic candies, dye-free, top 9 allergen -free candies (the top 9 allergens are wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, egg, milk, sesame, fish, and shellfish).
Yum Earth has just changed their packaging to note that wheat is used in their processing. This appears on the packaging of their Sour Littles, Gummy Bears, and Jelly Beans. The company responded that they have always used wheat starch as a processing agent but are only now changing their packaging due to FDA labeling requirements.

Help Make Gluten Labeling a Reality
Eighty seven other countries require the labeling of Gluten (Wheat, Barley, Rye and Oats). Since 2006, only Wheat has been required to be labeled, but but Barley, Rye and Oats. The US needs to catch up with the rest of these countries.
Here's how you can help:
The FDA is allowing 60 days for feedback and comments on the RFI. Specifically the FDA is seeking information on adverse reactions due to "ingredients of interest" (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these "ingredients of interest" on packaged food products in the U.S.
"People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options," said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. "We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices."

A new study from researchers at the University of Seville’s Department of Microbiology and Parasitology in Spain brings clarity to a question that has concerned many in the gluten free and celiac disease community: Can biodegradable or compostable plates made from plant-based materials contaminate gluten free foods?
As eco-friendly tableware becomes more widely used in restaurants, schools, catered events, hospitals, and take-out settings, understanding whether these products are safe for people with celiac disease is increasingly important. This new research, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, is the first to thoroughly evaluate gluten transfer from biodegradable tableware under real-world conditions.
The researchers examined eight types of biodegradable plates, cups, and straws made from materials such as wheat straw, wheat pulp, palm leaf, and sugarcane.

Sprouts Farmers Market has issued a recall for its Sprouts Organic Gluten-Free Four Cheese Lasagna after the product “tested positive for gluten above the acceptable limits for Gluten-Free certification.” The recall, dated December 16, 2025, underscores the serious risks mislabeling can pose for people with celiac disease or gluten allergies, for whom even small amounts of gluten can trigger significant—and sometimes “life-threatening”—reactions, as noted in the Sprouts notice.
The recall affects shoppers across a wide geographic footprint. According to its website, Sprouts Farmers Market operates in approximately 24 states, with its highest concentration of stores in California, followed by Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Colorado. The chain also has stores in states such as Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, among others.
The product is packaged in a 9-ounce brown and yellow box bearing a picture of the lasagna, and can be identified by the UPC code 6-46670-51140.

This week on Facebook: a poster became concerned after googling if a ham product was gluten free. The AI overview stated that the animal feed contained gluten and therefore it wasn't gluten free even though the product had no gluten-containing ingredients.
This topic has come up and Beyond Celiac has addressed it a number of times. On the topic of whether beef from conventionally-raised, grain-finished cattle may contain gluten to date, basic principles of ruminant digestion have been cited in support of the prevailing expert opinion that beef is inherently gluten-free.
Meat is naturally gluten free. Plain, fresh cuts of meat, including beef, poultry (chicken, turkey, etc), rabbit, lamb and fish/seafood meat, are all gluten free. However, be careful with breaded or floured meats, which typically contain wheat and therefore gluten.

From Gluten Free Watchdog, LLC:
Great news on the allergen labeling front: the ADINA Act (H.R. 3821) was reintroduced into the 19th Congress on Friday, June 6, 2025 by U.S. Representative Kelly Morrison (MN-03).
The ADINA Act is co-led by Representatives Mike Lawler (NY-17), Doris Matsui (CA-07), and Ben Cline (VA-06).
⭐️ This bill would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the label of a drug intended for human use to identify each ingredient in such drug that is, or is derived directly or indirectly from, a major food allergen or a gluten-containing grain. ⭐️
Because this bill was again reintroduced with bipartisan support in the House, we are hopeful that it gains traction.
🙏🏻 Please consider reaching out to your U.S. Representatives to ask them to co-sponsor H.R. 3821.
You can do this by contacting Daniela Puente (Daniela.Puente@mail.house.gov), Senior Health Legislative Assistant to Rep. Morrison and the primary contact for the Adina Act on Capitol Hill. To read the press release for this bill, see https://morrison.house.gov/media/press-releases/us-rep-kelly-morrison-introduces-bipartisan-bill-improve-allergen-safety.

In honor of summer let's talk beer. There can be a lot of confusion around beer in the gluten free community around gluten free vs. gluten reduced products. What's the difference? Gluten free beer is made with grains that naturally don't contain gluten like sorghum or brown rice. Gluten removed beer is made with wheat, barely or rye and undergoes a process to removed gluten using enzymes.
According to a 2017 study by the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) at the University of Chicago's Celiac Center, gluten removed beer may not be safe for those with celiac. In the study, gluten removed beer caused antibodies to react in a percentage of the subjects with celiac. Cynthia Kupper, CEO of GIG, added the medical and scientific community has not accepted gluten removed beer is safe because available gluten testing methods aren't accurate with fermented and hydrolyzed products.
Wondering where to turn to find a good gluten free beer? Look no further then the Gluten Free Beer Roundup, by Michael Savett founder of Gluten Free Philly. The article lists gluten free beer by availability and flavor profiles and also makes food pairing recommendations.

That's why this new research is so exciting: New blood test for celiac disease can diagnose autoimmune condition without need to eat glutenResearch, published in the journal Gastroenterology, on Interleukin-2 has helped to create a new testing method that would allow people who are already on a gluten free diet to be accurately tested for Celiac Disease, without the need for gluten ingestion.
“By stimulating T cells after a blood draw, patients can avoid the need to return to gluten and the suffering that often comes with that – for the sole purpose of diagnosis. That is a major step towards improving outcomes for patients.”

As a Health Educator, Celiac Awareness Month in May may get me more excited than most. More than any other time of year, people are reading, sharing, and focused on educating and raising awareness about this disease. There’s nothing I like seeing better than info and resource-sharing. There’s also nothing I like LESS than seeing info shared that isn’t fact-based but based solely on personal experience. While there’s nothing wrong with saying ‘this was my experience’ in some circumstances, often times this info is used to make important decisions that can impact health.
As a member of many online Celiac and Gluten Free groups, the same questions and issues come up again and again. That served as the inspiration for “5 Facts a Celiac Doctor Wants You to Know about Celiac Disease.” Working with the University of Maryland Celiac Center to create this Celiac Disease Fact Sheet, I hope you will share it with anyone you know with Celiac, who is gluten free, thinking about going free, has gluten sensitivity or cares for a child with any of the above.

Today on the podcast, we’ve got a major story for the celiac disease community—one that could set a new legal precedent for accessibility and equal rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Here’s what’s happening: The National Celiac Association (NCA), a leading advocacy group for people with celiac disease, just filed an amicus brief (that’s a “friend of the court” document) with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. They’re supporting Eleanor McGinn, a resident of Broadmead, Inc., a senior living community, in her case against the facility. The disAbility Law Center of Virginia is also backing her up.

This week on Facebook: a poster became concerned after googling if a ham product was gluten free. The AI overview stated that the animal feed contained gluten and therefore it wasn't gluten free even though the product had no gluten-containing ingredients.
This topic has come up and Beyond Celiac has addressed it a number of times. On the topic of whether beef from conventionally-raised, grain-finished cattle may contain gluten to date, basic principles of ruminant digestion have been cited in support of the prevailing expert opinion that beef is inherently gluten-free.
Meat is naturally gluten free. Plain, fresh cuts of meat, including beef, poultry (chicken, turkey, etc), rabbit, lamb and fish/seafood meat, are all gluten free. However, be careful with breaded or floured meats, which typically contain wheat and therefore gluten.

Product Warning issued from Gluten Free Watchdog: Progresso Manhattan Clam Chowder. Bottom line: This soup is labeled gluten-free and lists yeast extract in the ingredients. Per the manufacturer, the yeast extract is derived from barley.
Gluten Free Watchdog has long recommended that individuals with celiac disease avoid products not labeled gluten-free containing the ingredient “yeast extract” unless the manufacturer confirms the source to be gluten-free. It is concerning that a labeled gluten-free product contains yeast extract derived from barley. We have filed a complaint with the FDA.

A few weeks ago, a group called Moms Across America (MAA) published a report that some popular gluten-free packaged foods contained high levels of glyphosate.
Also in the report was a separate claim that a few certified gluten-free packaged foods also contained levels of gluten higher than 20 parts per million (ppm), the upper limit of the amount of gluten for a product to be considered gluten free.
Health Writer Christina Heiser breaks down the holes in the report, including red flags around why there's a hidden agenda that might not be obvious at first glance.

Paper straws are popular as we become more focused on sustainability. Podcast listener Stacy Wilz wondered if they're safe after seeing the question in a Facebook group.
Gluten Free Watchdog has tested paper straws in the past and has stated: “there is no evidence that paper straws contain wheat starch.”
Obviously, there are straws to avoid:
•Straws made from wheat or rye straw (these are the stems of the wheat or rye plant, the stem does not naturally contain gluten, however there is a very high risk of cross-contact, stay tuned for test results on wheat straws.)
•Pasta straws
•Cookie straws

Those with Down Syndrome are more likely to have Celiac Disease.
A study in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 71(2):p 252-256, August 2020. | DOI: 10.1097/MPG.0000000000002742 identified a high (9.8%) prevalence of celiac disease in children with Down syndrome when routine screening practices were implemented in the Down syndrome clinic starting in 2011.
Overall, 82% of these children with celiac disease were diagnosed by screening in the referral clinic. Without the practice of routine screening in the specialty clinic, the vast majority of cases would not have been detected in routine visits from primary care.

Product Safety Alert: UNREAL Club Size Bag Dark Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat Bars
It has come to the attention of the Gluten Intolerance Group that certain packages of UNREAL Club Size Bag Dark Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat Bars may pose a concern regarding product safety.
Some packages of these bars have been found to list Organic Spelt Flour as an ingredient on the outer packaging, while the individually wrapped bars inside display the GFCO logo. After engaging with UNREAL, we have identified this discrepancy as a packaging error, where old outer packaging was used on a newly formulated product that has been GFCO-certified. Unreal assures GFCO that the product meets the GFCO certification standards and is certified. GFCO has not completed the testing to verify this.
In an abundance of caution, the GFCO is issuing this safety alert to inform consumers. Always read labels to ensure the products you buy are gluten-free.

Hospitals have been historically bad about accommodating the gluten free diet safely. Now, the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN is opening a gluten free kitchen for staff and visitors, followed by an inpatient gluten free menu late July. The culinary staff at the gluten free kitchen will prepare and package individual meals for delivery to the hospitals for delivery to the patient by trained patient dining associates.
Here's hoping other hospitals follow suit!

Teens with celiac disease are at an increased risk for eating disorders, possibly due to the heightened focus on food that the gluten-free diet requires, leading to extreme preoccupation with food.
This connection is also observed in those with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), as the need to pay close attention to a medically restricted diet can lead to disordered eating or an eating disorder
A growing body of research shows that having Celiac Disease increases the risk of disordered eating.
If your teen would be interested in helping further the understanding of this important issue, please ask them to complete this short 15-20 minute survey: https://upenn.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7PLY4ndEwF1xsVw

From Gluten Free Watchdog: Product Warning for Whole Foods 365 organic whole flaxseed for errant grain. This product is NOT labeled gluten-free. The grains in the photo appear to be wild oats but it is hard to know for sure without physically examining and testing them.
Under U.S. standards, flaxseed is allowed to contain a certain percentage of “other” grain, including wheat, barley, rye, oats, and wild oats. The same information also applies to other grains, seeds, and legumes. This is why it is very important to choose (whenever possible) naturally gluten-free grains, etc. that are labeled gluten-free.

Helping out a Gluten Free Food Pantry is a great activity in honor of Giving Tuesday. There are a handful across the country that could use our help!
Gluten Free and allergy-friendly foods can cost up to 450% more then their counterpart products. This means that for some individuals and families, a medical diagnosis requiring a gluten free diet can lead to a severe financial strain. Gluten free food is rarely available at food pantries, leaving few options for getting affordable, safe hunger relief. Low – income individuals are often forced to choose between health and hunger.
Thankfully, a few gluten free, allergy-friendly food banks have opened across the country to address this need. Please consider helping one of the dedicated food pantries that serve those living with food scarcity and a dietary restrictions.

Thank you Beyond Celiac! They've awarded Shanna Coburn, PhD an Early Career Grant.
Coburn's research will investigate the effect that using at-home tests for gluten in urine has on the emotions and behavior of teenagers with celiac disease when the teens and their parents are also part of an internet-based support program.
“Teens with celiac disease have an increased risk of poor quality of life and emotional distress as well as poorer adherence to the gluten-free diet as they enter this vulnerable stage of life,” says Coburn.

Good news out of Italy! They are starting a program to test everyone from 1-17 for celiac disease from 2024 through 2026.
According to the latest estimates from the Italian Society of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Pediatric Nutrition (Sigenp), one in 60 children in Italy is affected, but 6 out of 10 remain undiagnosed. This is one of the highest figures in the world. It is therefore necessary to increase diagnoses, specialists warn, to prevent long-term consequences.
Although it's only in Italy, this is a win for the entire gluten free community. Hopefully results from their efforts could influence whether or not similar programs spread to other countries.

A growing body of research reveals that after ingesting gluten, brain fog occurred in 89% of those with celiac disease and in 95% of those with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. This supports anecdotal evidence from our community. Study participants most often described brain fog as difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, and grogginess.

Gluten Free Watchdog has tested paper straws in the past and has stated: “there is no evidence that paper straws contain wheat starch.”
Obviously, there are straws to avoid:
•Straws made from wheat or rye straw (these are the stems of the wheat or rye plant, the stem does not naturally contain gluten, however there is a very high risk of cross-contact, stay tuned for test results on wheat straws.)
•Pasta straws
•Cookie straws

Because barley and rye ingredients may be included in ingredients such as malt, yeast, and flavorings, but not always, people with celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders may be at a loss to know if they can safely consume that item. This bill would take out much of that guess work.
Please contact your representatives and senators to urge them to support this bill. Get started by copying and pasting the following sample letter to share with your representatives. Adding personal stories and experiences is also encouraged.

House Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced the Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2023. The bill would update front-of-package food labeling requirements, require updates to the ingredient list on packaged foods, and apply consumer friendly labeling requirements.
Among many other labeling issues, the bill would amend FALPCA (Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act) to require that food product packaging disclose ALL gluten-containing grains. We've been down this road before with the FLMA of 2021, but we are making progress. As is stated in the press release, “Food labels play an important role in managing conditions such as celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, but they need to be complete and easier to understand.” said Senator Cardin." The press release also lists the groups currently supporting this legislation: "The Food Labeling Modernization Act is supported by Center for Science in the Public Interest, Consumer Reports, Consumer Federation of America, Environmental Working Group, International Fresh Produce Association, Gluten Free Watchdog, Celiac Disease Foundation, and Beyond Celiac."
Stay tuned for ways to get involved by asking your representative for support.

Catalin Varela is a 22 year old college grad with Celiac, now living in Italy working as a gluten free travel consultant and pasta making teacher! She shares her best tips for traveling with Celiac including which countries in Europe she's found to be the easiest to eat safely and well.
Catalin (aka Celiac in Italy) has her bachelor’s degree in Health Arts and Sciences focused on applying medical anthropology theories to the understanding of celiac stigma. She spent six months traveling through Europe while writing her thesis about how cultures approach gluten free eating differently and the effect that has on the quality of life for celiac patients.
During her travels, Catalin fell in love with Italy and decided to make the move from Denver to Florence. Living in Italy as a celiac has changed her perspective on her medically necessary gluten free diet entirely, and so she feels inspired to speak with and empower other celiacs.

Gluten Free Watchdog, LLC recommends not buying Trader Joe’s gluten free oats. She tested a bag and here’s what she discovered:
Gluten Free Watchdog recommends against the use of Trader Joe’s gluten-free oats. Gluten Free Watchdog recently commissioned testing of Trader Joe’s gluten-free rolled oats. One bag of oats (Best by Aug 18, 2023) was tested as part of our regular testing program. Results from the 6 extractions tested ranged from < 5 ppm to > 80 ppm.
This is in keeping with the heterogeneous nature of gluten cross contact in oats. Based on these results, we do not recommend the use of Trader Joe’s gluten-free rolled oats by people with celiac disease.

You are age 21 or older.
You have been diagnosed with celiac disease for at least 1 year.
You have maintained a strict gluten-free diet for at least 1 year.
You show symptoms of “brain fog” with gluten exposure. This means your thinking is not sharp or you may have problems remembering things or focusing.
You will be asked to:
Participate for 3 months. There will be 4 study visits at the University of Chicago clinic in Hyde Park.
Give multiple blood, urine, and stool samples.
Undergo two MRI scans of your brain and complete two evaluations of your memory, attention span, and ability to process information.

In honor of the unofficial start of summer, let's talk beer.
There can be a lot of confusion around beer in the gluten free community around gluten free vs. gluten reduced products. What's the difference? Gluten free beer is made with grains that naturally don't contain gluten like sorghum or brown rice. Gluten removed beer is made with wheat, barely or rye and undergoes a process to removed gluten using enzymes.
According to a 2017 study by the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) at the University of Chicago's Celiac Center, gluten removed beer may not be safe for those with celiac. In the study, gluten removed beer caused antibodies to react in a percentage of the subjects with celiac. Cynthia Kupper, CEO of GIG, added the medical and scientific community has not accepted gluten removed beer is safe because available gluten testing methods aren't accurate with fermented and hydrolyzed products.
Wondering where to turn to find a good gluten free beer? Look no further then the Gluten Free Beer Roundup, by Michael Savett founder of Gluten Free Philly. The article lists gluten free beer by availability and flavor profiles and also makes food pairing recommendations.

Wheat starch in gluten free products seems like an oxymoron. But there are a few gluten free products on the market that contain this striped down, highly processed form of wheat. The new DiGiorno pizza is made with wheat starch and it has the gluten free community confused as to whether or not it's safe to eat.
Hear what GF Watchdog has to say on the topic. Would you eat products containing wheat starch?
You're Invited!

The Celiac Projectis a dynamic, first-of-its-kind documentary about life before and after the diagnosis of celiac disease. Filmmaker Michael Frolichstein struggled with a series of “mystery ailments” before finally being diagnosed with celiac disease at age 40. His efforts to meet others who had suffered, as well as to get answers from experts, led him on a journey of discovery within his own family and beyond. This documentary explores what we can do individually and as a society to advance the conversation and raise awareness about celiac disease.
Please watch the Celiac Project film prior to the Q&A event.

The FDA has said it will not consider a petition from the Celiac community to label ALL gluten-containing grains on products (besides the already labeled wheat). Tricia Thompson, MS, RD, Founder of Gluten Free Watchdog, explains the significance of this and what we can do.
Please, take 5 minutes to comment to the FDA why this labeling is necessary to protect us (samplelanguage here). We need to make our voices heard collectively!
We all know how important accurate product labeling is to keep us safe. As it stands, the only gluten-containing grain required to be labeled is wheat.
We are not protected in the same manner as Celiacs in 62 countries around the world, which expressly require that Gluten be labeled on all packaged foods.
The gluten free diet is our only treatment and we need all gluten-containing grains labeled!
The FDA has now - unfairly and arbitrary - closed the door on people with celiac petitioning them to get more protective regulation for our labeling.
The FDA is required to read all comments. Please share why this would be important - and necessary - to you!

A new cookbook out is that showcases naturally gluten recipes from around the world! The Gluten Free Cookbook is a beautiful book with 350 recipes drawing from the broad range of international food cultures.
Author Cristian Broglia said he "began collecting and choosing the recipes for this book and was eager to take on the challenge of finding suitable naturally gluten-free recipes because I am intrigued by world flavors and new ingredients. I started my culinary career as a chef in Parma, Italy, home to so many high-quality raw materials. There I learned to handle ingredients with care, to listen to the producers, and to unravel secrets handed down from generation to generation.
Some may think that gluten-free cooking is not very interesting because of what it excludes. On the contrary, gluten- free cuisine is not boring at all and you will find lots of variety.”

According to the Gluten Free Certification Organization: There is a widespread oat shortage that will affect the availability of gluten-free oats this year. Here's what to know:
This past year, several factors have impacted high-quality oat supply:
→ Droughts across farmlands have led to devastating grasshopper infestations and fires
→ Many farmers have replaced oats with more profitable crops like corn
→ The high demand for oat milk has increased prices and reduced availability
Bottom line: manufacturers may have trouble sourcing safe gluten free oats. Look for the GFCO certification symbol on any products that contain oats to be assured it tested less than 10 ppm.
The myth that gluten-containing flour is circulating on Facebook again. Listen to why this false and how it the myth probably started.

Activated Charcoal: Is It Safe to Use if You've Been Glutened?
Some members of the Celiac community use activated charcoal when they've been accidentally exposed to gluten because they believe it helps with symptoms. A new study published in the Journal of the American Pharmacists Association looks at how many people are using this as a treatment and encourages pharmacists to educate anyone buying activated charcoal on it's use.

In honor of the weekend, let's talk beer. There can be a lot of confusion around beer in the gluten free community around gluten free vs. gluten reduced products. What's the difference? Gluten free beer is made with grains that naturally don't contain gluten like sorghum or brown rice. Gluten removed beer is made with wheat, barely or rye and undergoes a process to removed gluten using enzymes.
According to a 2017 study by the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) at the University of Chicago's Celiac Center, gluten removed beer may not be safe for those with celiac. In the study, gluten removed beer caused antibodies to react in a percentage of the subjects with celiac. Cynthia Kupper, CEO of GIG, added the medical and scientific community has not accepted gluten removed beer is safe because available gluten testing methods aren't accurate with fermented and hydrolyzed products.
Wondering where to turn to find a good gluten free beer? Look no further then the Gluten Free Beer Roundup, by Michael Savett founder of Gluten Free Philly. The article lists gluten free beer by availability and flavor profiles and also makes food pairing recommendations.

Product Warnings:
Welby Elderberry Gummies from ALDI. This product is labeled gluten-free, yet the first ingredient is malt syrup. ALDI has been contacted and a complaint has been filed with FDA.
Walgreens Radiant Beauty Gummies. This product is labeled gluten-free, yet the second ingredient is malt syrup.
According to the FDA: Malt syrup and malt extract are interchangeable terms for a viscous concentrate of a water extract of germinated barley, with or without a preservative. The terms barley malt or barley malt extract are used also. Malt extract and malt syrup are ingredients derived from a gluten-containing grain, barley, that has not been processed to remove gluten. Food and ingredient manufacturers should be aware that malt extract and other similar malt-derived ingredients are ingredients derived from gluten-containing grains that have not been processed to remove gluten and, therefore, cannot be used in foods that bear a “gluten-free” labeling claim.”

A new study suggests a saliva test as an accurate first step in diagnosing celiac disease. Spanish researchers proposed a saliva test as an accurate first step in the diagnosis of celiac disease. Still being investigated, the authors say it could potentially reduce unnecessary biopsies because it is so good at predicting who has celiac disease. Overall, the test was able to correctly classify 73% of individuals with Celiac.

BIG NEWS! NEW BILL WOULD REQUIRE PRODUCTS TO DISCLOSE GLUTEN-CONTAINING GRAINS ON LABELS, NOT JUST WHEAT.
Currently, wheat is the only gluten-containing grain that is required to be disclosed on food and beverage labels. If this legislation passes, barley and rye ingredients would also need to be listed.
Because barley and rye ingredients may be included in ingredients such as malt, yeast, and flavorings, but not always, people with celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders may be at a loss to know if they can safely consume that item.
Please ask your representative and senator to support this important bill. You can find a sample email and link to find your local representative in this article.

Explaining Celiac Disease to a child - or an adult - can be challenging. Describing how one crumb of gluten can activate the auto immune response, causing villi in the small internist to blunt and malabsorption of nutrients can result can confuse and many.
Even as a Health Educator, I've found it challenging to explain the autoimmune disease component of Celiac, especially to kids. Another point that's hard to convey: even one crumb of gluten-containing food activates the response. Lastly, beyond the symptoms you may experience, what is happening internally.

Early results from a study on a new drug to treat celiac disease, ZED1227, found that those who took varying doses of ZED1227 had a greater reduction in intestinal damage compared to study participants who were given a placebo. All participated in a gluten challenge, ie purposely eating gluten.
ZED1227 is the first non-dietary treatment that has preliminarily shown the capacity to prevent mucosal damage in persons with celiac disease, and all the patients who received ZED1227 reported an increase in quality of life.
On developing a celiac disease treatment, the study authors explained that the gluten-free diet is, for some, an inadequate treatment. They note that “only 50 percent of patients have mucosal recovery” and often do not have negative results in blood tests for celiac disease even one year after diagnosis. “There is an unmet medical need for an effective treatment adjunct to a strict gluten-free diet,” they write. The group plans to launch a larger study in a real-world setting to further study the drug.

Maltodextrin can be made from wheat starch, but most commonly it's made from cornstarch. It's considered gluten-free regardless of starch source. Wheat starch and wheat starch hydrolysates may be included in foods labeled gluten-free provided that use of the ingredient does not cause the food product to contain a level of gluten at or above 20 ppm.
Products certified gluten free that contain maltodextrin are considered safe to eat.

Universal screening may be the only way to identify all the children in the United States who have celiac disease, a recent study of nearly 10,000 children in Colorado concluded.
Researchers at University of Colorado found that Celiac symptoms were not reliable predictors of which children would have celiac disease. And most children who had positive antibody screening did not have a family history of celiac disease. Screening is testing for health conditions and diseases when there are no risk factor, signs or symptoms.
About 70 percent of children identified through screening did not have symptoms and about 90 percent did not have a family history. It takes on average 7-10 years for a Celiac diagnosis. Universal testing to make this shorter and save years of suffering and co morbid health issues.

No Glu Tube is a gluten free product review channel, hosted by a young man with Celiac named Luke and his Mom Julie. In each video, they taste and review gluten-free products. According to Luke, “Making videos means a lot to me, so people know what to buy and know what not to buy. We just want to help anyone who has to eat gluten free eat good food!”
Luke is strictly gluten free for Celiac but his Mom does not need to eat gluten free. She also reviews the products from the perspective of a gluten-eater!

Beyond Celiac reported that there is a connection between lactose intolerance and Celiac Disease. Here's why: * In newly diagnosed celiac disease patients, secondary lactose intolerance is common due to the loss of lactase, an enzyme that digests milk sugar along the lining of the small intestine * The damage that gluten causes in the small intestine is the main factor in the lack of lactase for people with celiac disease * While following a strict gluten-free diet, the gut is able to heal, making lactose intolerance temporary in most celiac disease patients

I’m so excited for share with you these custom-designed notebooks, made for people with Celiac or gluten intolerance, by someone with Celiac!
Is it gluten?
One of challenges of Celiac is figuring out if symptoms are from a glutening or something else.
Filled with pages that make recording food and symptoms easy, this can help connect dots and makes keeping track easy.
It would make an awesome tool for students going off to college, back to school, newly diagnosed.
Necessity if the mother of invention
These notebooks are created by fellow celiac, Ariana Marshall, under pen name Three Spring Press. It was something SHE wished she had so she created them herself!

In honor of summer let's talk beer. There can be a lot of confusion around beer in the gluten free community around gluten free vs. gluten reduced products. What's the difference? Gluten free beer is made with grains that naturally don't contain gluten like sorghum or brown rice. Gluten removed beer is made with wheat, barely or rye and undergoes a process to removed gluten using enzymes.
According to a 2017 study by the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) at the University of Chicago's Celiac Center, gluten removed beer may not be safe for those with celiac. In the study, gluten removed beer caused antibodies to react in a percentage of the subjects with celiac. Cynthia Kupper, CEO of GIG, added the medical and scientific community has not accepted gluten removed beer is safe because available gluten testing methods aren't accurate with fermented and hydrolyzed products.
Wondering where to turn to find a good gluten free beer? Look no further then the Gluten Free Beer Roundup, by Michael Savett founder of Gluten Free Philly. The article lists gluten free beer by availability and flavor profiles and also makes food pairing recommendations.

The FDA has responded to our concerns regarding allowing manufacturers to make certain ingredient substitutions without changing the ingredients list. This is due to food supply issues during the pandemic.
The FDA stated in a letter to Gluten Free Watchdog that their COVID-19 food labeling flexibilities:
“… are not to be used when they may pose a health or safety issue. This would include the introduction of an ingredient containing gluten. Substitutions, in any amount, are not appropriate without a corresponding label change when the substituted ingredient is one that may cause a safety concern.”
To help manufacturers avoid the inadvertent substitution of a gluten-containing ingredient for a gluten-free ingredient, Gluten Free Watchdog, along with five other groups put together some information. Please share!

Many food allergies and sensitivities fall outside of the top 8 allergens. Needless to say, this has many in the food allergy community concerned.
As well, the FDA hasn’t exactly been on it when it comes to enforcing gluten free labeling laws. So the enforcement/oversight of these “flexibilities” has me concerned. Read the FDA's statement here: https://www.fda.gov/food/cfsan-constituent-updates/fda-announces-temporary-flexibility-policy-regarding-certain-labeling-requirements-foods-humans?fbclid=IwAR3UP9rO6MfGA8pDmh63vtge6sZknweFAz99FyOxhYMTuYJ9vWPNglIifXw

Two Product Reviews:
Attention 🍋 Lovers: we’ve found a winner. The Lemon Pound Cake Mix from Magnolia Mixes is a new family favorite.
It gets its moisture from sour cream (or Greek yogurt in our case) with a natural lemon flavor. No cloying, artificial lemon here. My daughter the baker topped it with a simple lemon glaze. Outstanding.
Made in a dedicated GF/NF facility. You can find it at Giant and on Amazon.
Explore Cuisine Organic Green Lentil Lasagna Noodles makes a wonderful, no boil lasagna. Unlike other gf lasagna noodles, these are soft and tender without boiling the noodles beforehand. They're a nutritional powerhouse too.

There is a lot of confusion around allergen advisory statements for wheat on labeled gluten-free foods. A product can be certified gluten free and have a "may contain wheat" statement.

After a Celiac diagnosis, many people are led to believe that following a strict gluten free diet is the only they need to do.
While that's true, it’s important to have a Celiac check annually. There are tests that need to be run every year including: Antibody Levels, Hemoglobin, Iron, Folate, B12, Zinc, Vitamin D and Calcium. Since Celiac Disease is linked to Osteoporosis and Osteopenia, bone density testing (called a DEXA Scan), will be ordered.
Additionally, having one autoimmune disease makes it more likely to have another, so tests for Thyroid function and other autoimmune symptoms will be monitored.

In response to the rapidly expanding COVID-19 pandemic, The Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University has launched a new patient registry, SECURE-Celiac (Surveillance Epidemiology of Coronavirus Under Research Exclusion). The registry seeks to answer questions about how patients with celiac disease are affected by COVID-19. There are theoretical concerns related to the fact that patients with celiac disease have a slightly higher risk of developing zoster (shingles) and complications from influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia, risks that persist in the long term after adoption of the gluten-free diet. Because of this, studying outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with celiac disease is important.
The Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University encourages celiac patients diagnosed with COVID-19 to ask their healthcare provider to go to covidceliac.com and report their case.
Beyond Celiac has introduced two new surveys in Go Beyond Celiac. One asks about the implications of COVID-19 on the celiac disease community whether or not they have been diagnosed. The other is specifically for people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

If you're having trouble finding bread - or just want to try something new - try Chaffles. Chaffles are waffles made of eggs and cheese and sometimes flour to make it more bread-like. You can make them in a waffle iron or on the stove top (without the waffle grids).
Here's the recipe: 1 egg + 1/2 cup of mozzarella (or cheese of your choice). Add 1 tbsp. of flour for a more bread - like consistency.
The great part: you can add any sweet or savory addition! Think garlic, cheddar cheese, vanilla, cinnamon, whatever you can imagine!
Gluten free products can be found in places other then grocery stores. Check out these ideas from the Baltimore Gluten Free Community:

The Food Equality Initiative is a gluten free/food allergy pantry that serves the Kansa City, MO area.
With the current Covid-19 outbreak, people being quarantined/isolated, and because many of the food pantry volunteers, though healthy and desiring to work, need to stay home to ensure their health and wellness, FEI has opted to ship food to people. With the need to ship food, there is an even greater cost to supplying each person with the vital necessity of safe food. They are asking for financial donations so that we can source food in larger quantities at reduced prices and then distribute the food to those in need. The number of those in need is growing as hours and jobs are cut and paychecks are lost.

Celiac college students have been in the news lately as more and more get vocal about their school's lack of accommodations. I've had the privilege of working with gluten free high school and college students - and colleges - and have seen some patterns emerge. One important action item: asking questions.
The RIGHT questions to ask when:
🔸 On College Visits
🔸 Talking to Admission Reps, Dining Staff and Dietitians
🔸 Touring the Cafeteria
🔸 Connecting with the Office of Student Services
As HS Senior Elizabeth C. emphasized, knowing the right questions to ask is a key component of understanding a school’s ability to accommodate.

The goal of this upcoming study is to understand if latiglutenase reduces symptoms significantly more than placebo in people who are still seropositive while on the gluten-free diet, as was seen in the 2015 CeliAction study.
If you are interested in participating, you can learn more and see if you qualify at SolutionsforCeliac.com. You can also learn more about the study at ClinicalTrials.gov.
Fallacy: Wheat-based sourdough bread is not safe for someone with Celiac or Gluten Sensitivity to eat. There is nothing about the fermenting process that "neutralizes" the gluten.
Gluten Free Watchdog tested 3 wheat-based sourdoughs and they were all found to have significant ppm levels of gluten. Read more here: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/sourdough-wheat-bread-is-not-safe-for-folks-with-celiac-disease/

General Mills is proposing a ‘Gluten Friendly’ line of products for use in commercial settings. These products aren’t made with gluten ingredients but don’t go further then that in terms of safety. ⭐️ This term is misleading, confusing and the products are most likely not safe.
Please read Gluten Free Watchdog, LLCs post. She’s in contact with General Mills and wants to collect and forward the community’s thoughts.

PRODUCT ALERT via Gluten Free Watchdog, LLC : Grow Girl Hair Growth Dietary Supplement. The product is labeled "no gluten" a term that FDA considers a synonym for "gluten free" yet it includes "malt syrup" in the ingredients list. Under the FDA's CFR for malt syrup, this ingredient is "barley malt syrup."
Barley malt syrup is not allowed in foods labeled gluten-free per FDA. The product has been reported to FDA via CAERS. The consumer also plans to file a report with an FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator.

Australian researchers published a study in the journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology linking bacterial exposure as a possible environmental risk factor for developing Celiac Disease. This adds to the body of knowledge about possible triggers. There's been a rise in Celiac diagnosis: between 1948 and 1954, 0.2 percent of those samples had celiac disease. When compared to more recent cohorts in the late 2000s, celiac disease was four times more prevalent.
It continues to puzzle researchers is the overall increase in prevalence.

Oat flour seems to be showing up in more gluten free products then ever. But even if a package is labeled gluten free, we have to dig further to determine the source of the oats used in the flour. Compounding this is if manufactures optically sort the oats. That's when errant grains - like wheat or barley - are mechanically removed from a batch of oats. The problem: it can be very easy for gluten - containing grains to be missed. Here's a great visual from Gluten Dude.

The mislabeling of products continues. Three more products have been brought to the attention of Gluten Free Advocate Tricia Thompson from Gluten Free Watchdog.
- Sticky Fingers Bakeries Gluten-Free Scones Mix includes wheat flour in the ingredients list. A voicemail has been left with the manufacturer. Hopefully this is a labeling misprint but if you have this product in your pantry please check the ingredients list.
- Sierra Soups Paste e Fagioli. This product includes a gluten-free claim with a "without pasta" parenthetical. The ingredients list includes "pasta shells (enriched with durum semolina flour)". Important: This product is misusing the gluten-free claim. A gluten-free claim is for a product as packaged NOT a product minus an ingredient (e.g., the pasta). Important: This product appears to be misbranded under FALCPA. Durum semolina flour is listed but wheat is not declared in either the ingredients list or a separate Contains statement. A voicemail has been left with the manufacturer.
- Restructure Protein Powder labeled gluten-free yet listing "germinated barley seed powder" in the ingredients. Whey protein is also listed but milk is not declared.
Call to Action to Stop Facial Misbranding of Gluten-Free Foods: Contact HHS Secretary Alex Azar via tweet, email, phone (or all three). Contact information and sample email here.

Using the gluten free diet as a punchline in media is unfortunately nothing new. Now Walmart has joined the ranks of companies making the decision to use the diet as a joke. While I appreciate that they carry gluten free food but their ‘Holidays: Hosting’ spot is lazy + uncreative. Why make fun of people who can’t eat gluten for health reasons?

Have you tried them? Let me know what YOU think!
♦️Do you have Celiac Disease?
♦️Are you the 1st degree relative (parent, sibling, child, aunt/uncle or cousin) of someone who does?
BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): This study calls for screening of ALL first-degree relatives of patients — not just those who show symptoms.
In this study, 44% of screened first-degree relatives had celiac disease. Of those patients, 94% had symptoms that were NOT classic or had NO symptoms at all.
Recommendations: Gastroenterologists and General Practitioners should ask about any family history of celiac disease among their patients’ parents, siblings and children. And if they’re present during the clinic visit, they should offer screening.

Allergens must be declared in "Contains" statements.

Explaining Celiac Disease to a child - or an adult - can be challenging. Describing how one crumb of gluten can activate the auto immune response, causing villi in the small internist to blunt and malabsorption of nutrients can result can confuse and many.
Even as a Health Educator, I've found it challenging to explain the autoimmune disease component of Celiac, especially to kids. Another point that's hard to convey: even one crumb of gluten-containing food activates the response. Lastly, beyond the symptoms you may experience, what is happening internally.

Have you seen or heard someone say they have mild Celiac? While there is no such thing - there is no severity scale - they're typically referring to the severity of symptoms. And it's usually accompanied by taking risks with cross contact. It causes a lot of confusion within and outside of the community. The damage done by exposure to gluten is the same, no matter what the outward - or perceived - symptoms may be.

I’ve been lucky enough to spend summers in the southern New Jersey shore town of Avalon every year since childhood. It’s always interesting to see how the beach changes from year to year; the same goes for the food landscape. Sure, there are food traditions that seem to weather the seasons: cherished ice-cream parlors and pizza places. But even these tradition-driven towns are increasingly responding to consumer demand for healthier, more nutrient - dense food. With that shift comes more naturally gluten free offerings as well as efforts to accommodate gluten free diners. As a result, gluten free eating at the Jersey Shore is getting better with each passing year.

🔸Adolescents are at ⬆️ risk of non-adherence + children.
🔸 Parents that had good celiac knowledge had kids that adhered more strictly.
🔸 Non-adherence associated with patient growth, symptoms, and quality of life.

Exposure to systemic antibiotics in the first year of life may be a risk factor for later development of celiac disease, according to results of an observational study published in Gastroenterology.
The authors suggest if the microbiome is altered within the first year of life, as a result of antibiotic therapy, it may alter the microbiome to more closely mimic the characteristics of microbiome in patients with celiac disease.

Michigan State's other dining halls are also certified by AllerTrain. I've had the pleasure of dining in one of them - Brody Hall - and was impressed by their gluten free offerings and cross contact protocol. You can see what we enjoyed, as well as read about the protocol here: https://baltimoreglutenfree.com/gluten-free-dining-at-michigan-state-university/

The manufacturers of the Celiac Vaccine that had reached Phase 2 of Clinical Trials decided to end the trial. An interim analysis showed that Nexvax 2, the vaccine to treat Celiac Disease, did not provide enough protection from gluten exposure when compared to placebo. This is on the heels of a presentation at Digestive Disease Week in May that showed Phase1 study to be extremely encouraging.
While disappointing, the data will help inform the other studies in the pipeline. To read more about Celiac Disease research, visit https://www.beyondceliac.org/research/.

“The Paradise for People with Celiac.”
There’s a town in Spain about 5 hours north of Madrid called “The Paradise for people with Celiac.” Cangas del Narcea.
How did it earn that name?
A few years ago celiac rates increased inexplicably throughout the town: 4% of the current 7,000 inhabitants of Cangas del Narcea are celiac. That’s three times the Spanish average.

From a study in the Journal Pediatrics: kids who attend a dedicated gluten free summer camp enjoy important benefits. Namely, they leave the experience with a more positive outlook and self-perception, as well as an improved sense of well-being and emotional outlook.
“All seemed to benefit from camp, no longer feeling different from other kids or feeling frustrated with a restricted diet,” reported researchers in the journal Pediatrics. While all of the children enjoyed the camp experience, those who had been on a gluten-free diet for less than four years benefited the most. These children left camp no longer feeling embarrassed or isolated from other kids because of their restricted diet. Campers also learned new coping mechanisms from others in camp who had been living gluten free for a longer time.

Gluten Free Watchdog, LLC (aka Tricia Thompson) is testing restaurant items! First up, PF Chang’s Lettuce Wraps.
✅ She’s starting by testing food from national chain restaurants with gluten-free menus or gluten free items identified on menus AND who state they can accommodate folks with celiac disease.
✅ The Plan: test the same menu item from 3 to 5 locations nationwide. This testing is designed to give an idea of the nature and extent of issues with cross contact at non-dedicated restaurants.
✳️ She understands that just because one location of a chain restaurant can successfully make a gluten-free item does not mean all locations can accomplish this. This testing is NOT meant to be an across the board statement on the safety (or lack thereof) of all branches of a restaurant.
🙋🏻♀️ Want to help? PF Chang’s gluten-free lettuce wraps are first up in the queue. If you live near a PF Chang’s and are interested in helping, please let her know your location. She’s trying to purchase menu items from restaurants across the country. You’ll be reimbursed for the cost of the menu item and postage for mailing to the lab.

A gluten free Maryland boy's case against a Williamsburg restaurant will now go to the district court in Virginia for a jury trial. The boy, with a gluten intolerance, brought a chicken sandwich into a venue to eat with his classmates on a class trip. The venue offered a gluten free meal, prepared onsite, but the boy had experience getting sick due to eating and chose to eat the food he brought. They asked him to leave, separating him from his classmates and the experience of the venue. His family brought a lawsuit against Colonial Williamsburg.

The TV show American Housewife, airing on ABC , is using gluten free food as punchline. They've done it now in 2 consecutive episodes! This is uncreative, lazy and not funny.
In one, the main character says: “I’m adding her to the banned list along with gluten free Girl Scout Cookies. I mean, this is America, isn’t it?” (S 3 Ep 19). The other says: “I ordered a gluten free funnel cake today and part of me died.” (S 3 Ep 20).
These “jokes” hurt those who rely on this food as medicine in many ways. Besides disparaging the treatment for medical conditions, it chips away at the collective thinking that gluten free food needs to be taken seriously for those with medical conditions.
Join me in asking ABC to STOP! You can send them your thoughts here: https://abc.go.com/feedback.

Helping out a Gluten Free Food Pantry is a great activity in honor of Celiac Awareness Month. There are a handful across the country that could use our help! Gluten Free and allergy-friendly foods can cost up to 450% more then their counterpart products. This means that for some individuals and families, a medical diagnosis requiring a gluten free diet can lead to a severe financial strain. Gluten free food is rarely available at food pantries, leaving few options for getting affordable, safe hunger relief. Low – income individuals are often forced to choose between health and hunger.
Thankfully, a few gluten free, allergy-friendly food banks have opened across the country to address this need.Please consider helping one of the dedicated food pantries that serve those living with food scarcity and a dietary restrictions.

The University of Chicago Celiac Center has issued new feeding guidelines for infants at-risk for developing Celiac. Those at-risk include babies with a parent or first degree relative with Celiac and/or those with either of the 2 Celiac genes.
The new guidelines recommend a Mediterranean diet with limited consumption of gluten - less then an ounce of pasta or slice of bread/day. This guideline recommendations begin at 4-6 months and should continue until the baby is 2 years old.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology examined gluten found in restaurant food labeled gluten free. The researchers analyzed 18 months worth of data – using 5,624 tests performed by 804 Nima users around the country.
While there are serious concerns about gluten cross contact in restaurant settings, there are a lot of problems with this study. These include the fact that Nima is deemed a "gadget" by the FDA. Another issue: cross contact must be evaluated using scientifically validated methods. Using the unvalidated Nima Sensor in a “scientific” study as the basis for determining whether a restaurant is accurately listing a food to be gluten-free is a problem.
Until validated, this gadget can harm individuals and business by providing unreliable information.

Asking questions and then asking more questions is an important practice when gluten free. Especially when dining out. Even when you're speaking with someone who should be knowledgeable (like a Chef!) always ask about ingredients, preparation and more. Never assume they have training or understand.

Gluten free food can get a bad rap even thought there are delicious food and products out there. There are people who actually prefer gluten free versions of products who don't even need to eat gluten free.
My extended family is a perfect example. Growing up in an Italian - American family, pasta was a staple. When they visit, they request the gluten free pasta we buy from Garofalo*. It's the best gluten free pasta we've had and even stays soft when cold. Which is a super power for gluten free pasta.
What are some products you buy (or make) that non-gluten free friends and family request?

She jumped right in and tackled the challenge head on. You can read more about Beth, and all she's done, here: http://baltimoreglutenfree.com/when-life-hands-you-lemons-make-gluten-free-cider/
Do you know an individual or business that is moving the needle or you find inspiring? I'd love to hear, send me an email at: contact@baltimoreglutenfree.com

My family has been lucky enough to visit Walt Disney World almost annually for the past 10 years. Why so often? Not only is it so much fun (for all ages) but it’s a true vacation for my gluten free family. We don’t worry about buying food for meals, preparing meals, or researching places to eat (other than to decide what suits our preferences). Disney has dietary restrictions down to a science. And that’s the definition of vacation for us.
I shared photos of the great food and fun we had on our recent vacation on Facebook: and Instagram.
How do we afford to go so often? We’ve learned quite a few things over the years that have helped. Here are our favorite money saving tips, I hope they can help you as well!

Fallacy: Wheat-based sourdough bread is not safe for someone with Celiac or Gluten Sensitivity to eat. There is nothing about the fermenting process that "neutralizes" the gluten.
Gluten Free Watchdog tested 3 wheat-based sourdoughs and they were all found to have significant ppm levels of gluten. Read more here: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/sourdough-wheat-bread-is-not-safe-for-folks-with-celiac-disease/
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, let's talk beer. There can be a lot of confusion around beer in the gluten free community around gluten free vs. gluten reduced products. What's the difference? Gluten free beer is made with grains that naturally don't contain gluten like sorghum or brown rice. Gluten removed beer is made with wheat, barely or rye and undergoes a process to removed gluten using enzymes.
According to a 2017 study by the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) at the University of Chicago's Celiac Center, gluten removed beer may not be safe for those with celiac. In the study, gluten removed beer caused antibodies to react in a percentage of the subjects with celiac. Cynthia Kupper, CEO of GIG, added the medical and scientific community has not accepted gluten removed beer is safe because available gluten testing methods aren't accurate with fermented and hydrolyzed products.
Wondering where to turn to find a good gluten free beer? Look no further then the Gluten Free Beer Roundup, by Michael Savett founder of Gluten Free Philly. The article lists gluten free beer by availability and flavor profiles and also makes food pairing recommendations.

Oats are an ingredient that can be problematic for those living with celiac and gluten sensitivity due to cross contact and sorting methods. It's important that the gluten free community be aware they're an increasingly popular ingredient in both food and beverages. At Natural Products Expo West 2019, they were listed as a trend, along with healthy fats, plant-based and lower sugar products. Listen to Episode 18 for more on these trends.
Oats are showing up in obvious products but not so obvious places as well. Oat Milk is gaining popularity for it's milky mouthfeel and gaining particular momentum in the dairy-free product market. Less obvious products containing oats sources are non-dairy frozen products, chocolate bars, waffles and coffee beverages.
This uptick in use of oats means the gluten free community needs to pay even closer attention to labels. Sources of oats - and whether they're purity protocol, can require an extra level of detective work. Gluten Free Watchdog is keeping a running list of manufactures and suppliers using oats produced under a gluten-free purity protocol. Listen to Episode 7 for more info about gluten free oats.

Natural Products Expo West 2019 wrapped up in Anaheim, CA. last week. This annual trade show features natural, organic, speciality and functional products from over 3500 companies. Baltimore will play host to Expo East in 2019.
Trends spotted in products were lower sugar, higher (healthy) fat, plant based products and use of oats. On my list of products to find and try are Brazi Bites new line of Empanadas, convenience items like Ramen in a cup from Pamela's and Lotus Foods and Bonafide Provisions' heat and sip cups. Finally, one of my favorite companies, Simple Mills, debuted their Brownie Mix.
Congratulations New Hope Network for another great event.

There was an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow published yesterday in the New York Times. In it, she deemed herself responsible for the gluten free market being as large as it is now. She tied it to one of her products, a gluten free cookbook, released in 2015.
Besides the fallacy of her claim, why spend time even talking about this crazy statement? Because it’s hurts those who are gluten free for medical reasons. Here why in the briefing.
I also have a CALL TO ACTION for you. If you need extra support for it, head to http://baltimoreglutenfree.com/advocacy/
Lastly, Gluten Dude published a great post that included his earlier plea to GP to step back from the gf topic. This was in 2012. His post this week included an excerpt from that as well as a Twitter thread that covered every point of contention from the GP statement.
Studies have connected dental enamel defects and Celiac Disease. Now, another study adds to that body of data: a study out of the University of Salerno found that recurrent mouth sores, dental enamel disorders and non specific tooth were higher in the celiac patients then non-celiac patients. Dentists are in a good position to flag those with Celiac.
You can read the full study here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5748771/. Did you suffer from mouth sores, enamel issues or sensitivity before being diagnosed? Share your story here: http://www.baltimoreglutenfree.com/fash.
Food and memories are tightly intertwined. It's often around holidays and celebrations that we can miss those family traditions the most. One of my favorite resources for recreating special dishes is from Jules Shepard aka GF Jules. Her recipes include traditional foods like King Cake, Beignets, Irish Soda Bread, Pierogi and Holiday Cookies to name a few. She has worked hard to perfect her recipes and has shared them all for us to enjoy. She provides substitutes to make most of her recipes dairy free as well.
You can see her extensive recipe database here: https://gfjules.com/recipes/
Happy Fat Tuesday! I hope everyone enjoys a gluten free treat on this day traditionally celebrated with fatty, rich foods. The Red Bandana Bakery near me in Bethesda, MD is selling gluten free King Cake - a traditional Mardi Gras dessert. Any bakeries near you doing something special?
In the first part of my recap of the Celiac Project Screening Q and A with Samra Blanchard, MD in February, I wanted to share something that really surprised me. According to Dr. Blanchard, if you have Celiac Disease and react to getting glutened quickly, you have Gluten Sensitivity. By quickly, she meant within a few hours of gluten consumption. For those with only Celiac, it takes longer for the autoimmune response to be noticed. She mentioned that patients who report quick responses are noted in their medical chart to have both.
This was only one of the incredibly enlightening info that came up at our Q and A after the Celiac Project Film screening. Stay tuned for more! To hear Dr. Blanchard's full, recorded response on this topic please email me at: contact@baltimoreglutenfree.com. I would be happy to sent you a copy.

Mark your calendars, there are two great events quickly approaching! The first is the Annual Celiac Education Day put on by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Center for Celiac Disease on March 31st. This family event is free but registration is limited to the child with celiac disease and a caregiver. More info here via Gluten Free Philly: http://www.glutenfreephilly.com/2019/01/chop-celiac-education-day-set-for-march.html
The second exciting event is Gluten Free New England's 3rd Annual GF Expo in Wallingford, CT on April 28th. The Expo has 70 vendors, 4 food trucks, food demos, seminars, and free samples. Not only does the Expo showcase national brands but also curated local gluten free products. Details and tickets can be found at www.wickedglutenfree.com.
This weekend, our Baltimore Gluten Free Meet Up group screened the Celiac Project film. After, we held a Q and A with Samra Blanchard, MD from the University of Maryland Celiac Center. One question that came up had an answer that surprised many. It was: After a Celiac Diagnosis, how often should I have a Celiac appointment?
Answer: After diagnosis, it’s important to be checked annually. There are tests that need to be run every year including Antibody Levels, Hemoglobin, Iron, Folate, B12, Zinc, Vitamin D and Calcium. Since Celiac Disease is linked to Osteoporosis and Osteopenia, bone density testing (called a DEXA Scan), will be ordered. Additionally, having one autoimmune disease makes it more likely to have another, so tests for Thyroid function and other autoimmune symptoms will be monitored.
Stay tuned for other great questions from the evening. In the meantime, here's an article I wrote with my Daughter's Celiac Doctor: The 5 Things a Celiac Doctor Wants you to Know About Celiac Disease.
Do you have a question you'd like answered? Head over to Baltimore Gluten Free and ask away. We may ready your question on the Briefing!

Modern Bread and Bagel just opened on the Upper West side of Manhattan this past week. In addition to bagels and house-made spreads and cheeses, this gluten free and kosher bakery serves breads, cinnamon buns, babka, pop tarts, donuts and more! Check out their website for their other delicious brunch items which is served from 7 am - 4 pm. In the next few weeks, a Mediterranean restaurant named Arba will open in the evenings in the same spot. It's also gluten free, dairy free and kosher.
Don't visit NYC without checking out Erin Smith of Gluten Free Globetrotter's list of gluten free eateries. She works hard to keep it updated and accurate. Check out Erin's list here: https://glutenfreeglobetrotter.com/glutenfreenyc/dedicatedglutenfreenyc/
McDonald's French Fries are NOT gluten free in the US. This is a fallacy that seems to rear it's ugly head frequently in Facebook groups. One of the fries' 19 (!) ingredients is Natural Beef Flavor, made from wheat. Not only that, McDonald's announced the fries are fried in the same fryer as their new donut sticks.
Everyone with gluten sensitivity or Celiac Disease has a story. Unfortunately, it's usual a long one typically with lots of bouncing from specialist to specialist and mis-diagnosis. As a celiac patient not diagnosed until age 40, Michael Frolichstein was compelled to capture stories from celiac patients all over the country. He spotlights them in the film: The Celiac Project, along with info from top physicians. You can learn more about the film here: https://www.celiacproject.com/the-celiac-project-film/
Michael hosts one of my favorite podcasts too: The Celiac Project Podcast, along with Cam Weiner. It goes live every Wednesday.
Oat flour seems to be showing up in more gluten free products then ever. But even if a package is labeled gluten free, we have to dig further to determine the source of the oats used in the flour.
Jules Shepard (aka GF Jules) has the perfect example. Kellogg's has come out with an Eggo Waffle labeled Gluten Free on the box. However, the oats in the ingredient label don't mention gluten free oats. Even if they did, we have to investigate further to determine if the oats are from a Purity Protocol to truly be deemed safe. Confused? Here are 2 resources to help:
From Jules:
