Think about what food you enjoy and the sacrifices that you are willing to do. Many gluten-free shoppers deal with sacrifices of all sorts and must make some type of adjustments. So creating a meal plan, of your favorite 5-10 meals, helps you make a specific shopping list, reducing the chances of impulse purchases.... unless it's on sale!

There is no point to buying a small version of products that you will be consuming regularly as long as the shelf date is long enough.

Before setting foot in a new city, arm yourself with knowledge. Research gluten-free-friendly restaurants, read reviews from others with similar dietary needs, and check if these establishments have dedicated gluten-free menus. The more planning you do, such as calling these places, the better. Utilize online resources, apps, and forums where fellow gluten-free individuals share their experiences and recommendations, but you need to ensure they are still open and able to cater to a serious gluten-free request. </p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: list-number 1; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 28px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><br /></p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: list-number 1; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 28px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><span color="var(--tw-prose-bold)" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Communication is Key:</span>
When dining out, effective communication with restaurant staff is crucial. And watch what goes on by food runners, cashiers, and kitchen staff to observe risk. Clearly communicate your requirements for a safe gluten-free meal and any other dietary needs, emphasizing the importance of avoiding cross-contamination. Reduced gluten is usually the best you can settle for at a restaurant on the go that is a mixed prepared kitchen. Also suggest eating lightly, and not over fill yourself when taking on a risk eating away from home at a location that is ... risky! Ask questions about food preparation methods, inquire about shared cooking surfaces or fryers, and be proactive in ensuring the kitchen understands the severity of gluten intolerance. Find the safest, lowest risk of cross contamination and temporarily nourish yourself. Does the general manager or customer service rep understand your questions and satisfy your requirements or did they fail? </p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: list-number 1; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 28px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><br /></p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: list-number 1; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 28px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><span color="var(--tw-prose-bold)" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Embrace Local Cuisine:</span>

Being prepared is half the battle. Pack gluten-free snacks, emergency supplies, or even small kitchen tools if you're staying in accommodations with cooking facilities. Having backup options ensures you're not caught off guard in situations where gluten-free choices are limited. Fresh fruit and vegetables are the safest option and will keep you nourished until you find new accommodations. And if you don't need to eat, don't. Stay hydrated and be ready to shop when you land in a new location and buy wholesome natural or packaged ingredients to snack safely, make a fresh gluten-free sandwich, heat up pasta or easy meal in a new safe environment, if feasible. </p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: list-number 1; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 28px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><br /></p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: list-number 1; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 28px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><span color="var(--tw-prose-bold)" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Educate Yourself on Hidden Gluten:</span>
Understanding where gluten can hide is crucial. Beyond obvious sources like bread and pasta, hidden gluten can lurk in sauces, dressings, and even in unexpected places like flavored coffees or seasoned fries. Stay vigilant and don't hesitate to ask for ingredient lists. Any restaurant that makes fresh bread or pastries has open air flour contaminating a kitchen. Ask the questions and reduce your risk. </p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: list-number 1; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 28px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><br /></p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: list-number 1; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 28px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><span color="var(--tw-prose-bold)" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Check Gluten-Free Certification:</span>

Embrace the adventure of discovering new culinary delights while staying vigilant to ensure a safe and enjoyable dining experience. Just remember that you do not have to take on risk. Eat a safe meal at home or prior to your travels when you might lose control of accessing safe gluten-free food. Risk results in illness. Evaluate your risk and others you are traveling with carefully and hope you have fun during your next trip! </p><div><h3 style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; margin: 1rem 0px 0.5rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;">If you enjoy our gluten-free articles, click to enjoy our ads that connect with you and follow us on Instagram at </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/realglutenfreeg" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank">@RealGlutenFreeG</a><span style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;">. </span></h3></div>GlutenFreeGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03779134845311522356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183643138524514563.post-16548304358667516732023-12-20T08:01:00.014-07:002024-03-08T11:38:30.511-07:00A Beginner's Guide to Creating a Cozy Compost at Home<p>Embarking on the journey of composting can feel like stepping into a whole new world of sustainability and gardening joy.

Yard Treasure: Look for dry leaves, grass clippings, small twigs, and any little treasures your garden offers.</div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Step 2: Find a Comfy Spot In Your Backyard</u></b></h4><p>Think of a cozy spot in your yard for your compost. A shaded area with good drainage is perfect. If you're using a bin, consider it your compost's snug little home.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Step 3: Layer Ongoing with Love</u><span><!--more--></span></b></h4><p>Building your compost is a bit like creating a comfy blanket – layers are the key! Alternating between kitchen scraps (your greens) and yard waste (your browns) keeps things balanced and happy.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Step 4: Give It a Frequent, Gentle Turn</u></b></h4><p style="text-align: left;">Every so often, give your compost a gentle stir. It's like tucking it in for a good night's sleep. Turning helps your compost breathe and turns it into nutrient-packed magic.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEFYGOWqhrNN4-GOVkhCNE-xuKLl0hwhrQMKdQskzbQTMDY07m-vVAlOc3ETIxlRPv9Qy9RSwrKTjrPnGHmgD9yPPY5JxsZNguMxKbNbiZSG51lp8XnXE4Bf-v_Yc3w5MV39e0CGlUxvZqlWdkAQKlcacglzD5fW5vDSA4v6vFOWSIKHrSL_uN-QjSwug/s824/how%20to%20compost.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="824" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEFYGOWqhrNN4-GOVkhCNE-xuKLl0hwhrQMKdQskzbQTMDY07m-vVAlOc3ETIxlRPv9Qy9RSwrKTjrPnGHmgD9yPPY5JxsZNguMxKbNbiZSG51lp8XnXE4Bf-v_Yc3w5MV39e0CGlUxvZqlWdkAQKlcacglzD5fW5vDSA4v6vFOWSIKHrSL_uN-QjSwug/s320/how%20to%20compost.png" width="320" /></a></div><b><u>Step 5: Keep Things Just Right</u></b></h4><p>Your compost likes to stay just right – not too dry, not too wet. Think of it like Goldilocks' porridge. If it's feeling dry, add a little water; if it's feeling soggy, toss in some dry leaves.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Step 6: Mindful Choices</u></b></h4><p>As you add kitchen scraps, steer clear of meats, dairy, and oily items. Let your compost enjoy a healthy diet. Also, skip the weeds with seeds to avoid any unexpected surprises.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Step 7: Embrace Patience</u></b></h4><p>Composting is a bit like growing a friendship; it takes time. Be patient, and you'll soon see your compost transform into a lovely, earthy blend.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Step 8: Harvest Your Compost Bing, Pile and Enjoy It</u></b></h4><p>When your compost looks and smells like the cozy haven you envisioned, it's ready to spread its warmth in your garden atop fruits, vegetables and bushes, etc. Harvest your compost and watch your plants thrive this season and ongoing. Once you start you just cannot stop. </p><p>Welcome to the world of composting! As a beginner, you're taking the first steps towards a more sustainable and nurturing lifestyle. Remember, your compost is like a new friend – it needs a bit of care, a lot of patience, and soon it'll be enriching your garden and your heart.

Thanks GIG. We found that the new gluten-free Oreos contain palm oil, which, although commonly used in the food industry, has raised some environmental concerns. The extraction process can sometimes impact natural habitats, and the refining process might strip away some natural nutrients. While it's a dealbreaker for many, it's something to consider for those gluten-free snackers who debate quality and beneficial oil sourcing. Atop the oily fun, these Oreo's are also made with genetically modified ingredients just like their gluten-y big brother. GMO's are a No-No at stores such as Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Fresh Thyme, Erewhon, and thousands of other independent natural retailers. Need I say more?</div><div style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span color="var(--tw-prose-bold)" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Colorful, Artificial Oreo Ingredients:</span></h3>To capture the classic Oreo taste and look, manufacturers turned back to artificial flavors and colors. These concerning artificial additives, while giving the cookies their signature eye candy look, is not everyone's cup of tea. For those steering clear of scientific lab made artificial ingredient facade, it's worth noting that Oreo cookies are not real food, the are made from artificial "stuff". But hey, if you don't care about your health, these would certainly be an option to buy.<span></span><span color="var(--tw-prose-bold)" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;"><br /></span></div><div style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span color="var(--tw-prose-bold)" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">A VERY Sweet Story:</span></h3>As with many sweet treats, sugar is the focal point of the picture. The gluten-free Oreos are no exception, so if you're keeping an eye on your sugar intake, these cookies might be a once-in-a-while treat. There is monstrous 7 g of fat and a <u>whopping</u> 14g of sugar which includes 13g of added sugar per 10 Oreos* (See packaging for more info). Ready to run?<br /> <br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Avoid Gluten-Free Oreos At Your Local Store:</b></h3>While these Oreos might not be the superhero of health foods, they're still available nationwide at most retailers. If you indulge in snacking, like, I do, there are tons of cookies to bake at home or buy in store. If you're on the lookout for delicious, tasty alternative options with natural ingredients, and lots of sugar just don't settle for lab-made ultra-processed artificial Oreos? Why do that to yourself or family? As always, snack wisely, and don't forget to savor the joy that comes with snacking with friends and staying active. Burn those calories. Only eat it if you're going to burn it off. Hehe. The world of gluten-free goodies is expanding, and it's a tasty journey for us all to up our standards. Live long and happy snacking!</div><div style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d;">If you enjoy our gluten-free articles, click to enjoy our ads that connect with your lifestyle and follow us on Instagram at </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/realglutenfreeg" style="color: #374151;" target="_blank">@RealGlutenFreeG</a><span style="color: #0d0d0d;"> right now.</span></div><p></p>GlutenFreeGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03779134845311522356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183643138524514563.post-29742757943726966212021-09-15T18:36:00.015-06:002024-03-08T11:41:03.061-07:00Covid 19 and Gluten Free Living<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.realglutenfreeg.com/2021/09/covid-19-and-gluten-free-living.html" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1544" data-original-width="1158" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFdU6kGSRdi3YkdJQ5-ifvZ05NRUuS0ShqS98mZ7KVhTaERu_h8iazZU0cC-baxhnGlHfUrEOs6NSLqdL4Cfx2Rn8NLNeLmawVZTkoFO5l43u_M4smYoTfuG0e0kuionjbvDGXClo3u80/w240-h320/IMG_1984.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Gluten free living was always a challenge, but now, there are even more hurdles. With COVID 19 restrictions everywhere and no end in sight there continues to be a never ending road of mystery ahead for those on a gluten free and allergen free lifestyle. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you dine out, many restaurants are still only providing take out. Are they being more careful or the same to adhere to a strict gluten-free request? I continue to trust only the same, tiny amount of local restaurants and route them in our meal plan. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Meanwhile depending on which state you reside or travel to some allow you to eat indoors. At times it feels like you may be in a different word based on the amount of mask restrictions or openness. Nevertheless, communicating with a mask to a waiter with a mask provides more anxiety to those with restrictions on gluten based foods and with allergies. Simply because trust is built on verbal communication and non verbal cues in person. <span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I'm based out of greater NYC. Even here depending on which zip code you choose to shop, buy groceries, or eat out at a restaurant there are not commonalities.The gluten free journey continues to be a day to day, hour by hour, confusing journey of safety and that's why you should continue to control what you buy and where you buy it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">It's more popular than ever to shop from home. I use apps like, <a href="https://www.instacart.com" target="_blank">Instacart</a>, to occasionally take advantage of adding my favorite foods onto a digital grocery list and someone will deliver it to my home. Yes. Someone literally shops for me. They pick my veggies and go into the aisles and drive it to my home, it's quite insane when you think about it. Wegmans, Shoprite, Costco, etc are some of the grocery stores you can find on Instacart and they charge a small fee to do so. <span></span></span></p><!--more--><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Although, I still do prefer to shop in person. There is something enjoyable about choosing my own fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, seafood and the occasional packaged food sweet treats of course. I still take my kids to shop, mask up, and get out of there as fast as possible. In fact, we eat more fresh food than ever before. It's just hard to trust what's going on out there with COVID 19 with all of the mixed headlines, distorted data and lack of transparency from the fighting politicians into exactly what's going on, who is being effected and how it is being transmitted. Just continue to wash your hands, exercise regularly, obtain a lot of regular sun by being outdoors for an hour per day, stay at home if you're not feeling well, but live your life without being scared because gluten-free living is truly a second chance at life. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">As far as the Covid 19 shot or "vaccination" conduct in depth research based on your current health. Whether you are a diagnosed Celiac, with auto immune diseases, and/or allergies, it's critical you do thorough research and make the best decision for your current and long term health. Also remember to take advice from someone in your shoes not from others who don't walk the same battles. Our mind, body and health are not the same. This is your choice and I would support either decision you make. DM for specific discussions on this topic. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This past year and half has sure aged me. The restrictions continue to be mounting. The work hurdles and lack of leadership to fairly and reasonable empower employees who are parents were cruel to many, including me. Mandates and control of where I can go, what I can do, and loss of my freedom has caused great anxiety. The mental and physical toll of parenting small children is heavy to say the least. Despite all of it, we stick together as family and community because nobody else will help you or take care of you. This is your life. So, do not work for an employer who doesn't provide you with tools for success, treats people fairly, and compensates you well. Try to get along with others who have different opinions on COVID 19 and be safe. Run free and don't let others hold you back during these COVID 19 harsh times. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span face="Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If you enjoy our gluten-free articles, click to enjoy our ads that connect with your lifestyle and follow us on Instagram at </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/realglutenfreeg" style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;" target="_blank">@RealGlutenFreeG</a><span face="Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> right now.</span></span></p>GlutenFreeGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03779134845311522356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183643138524514563.post-62142856524218217722021-03-02T10:59:00.007-07:002024-02-26T15:57:19.513-07:00Real Food Real Health Resolution<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8CWIDIY4ocgs4EyoSG9jE_Updwm0anG8jx-W9nAKtc2lmFHBlb_3wHpvBgC-Qi2QGOrJRSV7vYGtfX89vDv-REXsUcyMwjkOdU35R-K_qaC8z1gbs2lZK55nk4lGBYgZDpoJehN6QDaA/s538/veggies.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="372" data-original-width="538" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8CWIDIY4ocgs4EyoSG9jE_Updwm0anG8jx-W9nAKtc2lmFHBlb_3wHpvBgC-Qi2QGOrJRSV7vYGtfX89vDv-REXsUcyMwjkOdU35R-K_qaC8z1gbs2lZK55nk4lGBYgZDpoJehN6QDaA/w400-h276/veggies.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Who loves food? Who doesn't? Food is not only essential to our development from our early days but responsible for our ability to fight off challenges related to immune health, too. I believe we are what eat and we need to choose our delicacies in moderation. Can you eat veggies and fruits all day? Have you tried any new spices, teas, or fungi? Are you living a flexitarian lifestyle of both meat and plants? What we as gluten free peeps can't risk is flirting with foods that contain or have risk of cross contamination of gluten. This damages our health, visibly or silently. So keep saying, no, to those gluten everyday temptations and say heck yay to the world of fresh ingredients and less packaged or processed foods as you prepare your meals, snacks at home and when you leave the door. When you do choose a packaged processed food, eat them in moderation, mixed with an active healthy lifestyle, in the sun, and having fun all year round with those yo</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">u</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> love. <span><a name='more'></a></span></span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If there is anything the COVID 19 pandemic taught humanity it was to stop, become more aware of yourself, surroundings and health. From your fingers, nose, down to your toes, protect yourself appropriately and control yourself. So stop picking your nose, okay? As tough as it may be to stop, drop and roll into a new lifestyle, we all learned a lot about ourselves in 2020. Take a moment to evaluate the sacrifices, changes and what you may have learned. If you are content move ahead, or if you are frustrated, take this moment to identify what you know you need to do to improve something holding you back for tomorrow.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Celiacs and all gluten free lifestylists have a choice. Legit gluten free food was here before you were. Gluten free food was also here before the inventions of processed packaged foods. Albeit, eaten in moderation is cool, if you review the ingredients and nutritionals based on your active lifestyle, people have and will survive with less. Keep practicing your ability to say, no. Less is more in 2021 and saying no is often safer than saying, yes. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Return to the basics of what you need to live, love and succeed and don't be bashful when deciding how to be the best you!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Which changes are you going through this year?

<span style="text-align: left;">It's that time of year again when you can explore trusted and credible gluten-free brands all in one place! This is practically a dream come true for those with Celiac Disease or other gluten and allergen sensitivities. The backbone of the type of event is that all brands must adhere to strict gluten-free protocol to be permitted to sample and sell at the event per the FDA guidelines < 20ppm gluten cross contamination.

<div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Those who know me, love or hate me. I say that jokingly, but it's true. My life is very difficult as I'm very serious to strive for ultimate gluten-free health and protecting our legit gluten-free movement. As an ambassador for gluten-free transparency, heck, call me a trail blazer or whichever word you decide, gluten-free living is as serious as a heart attack.</span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">If anyone tells you that adhering to any level of gluten-free lifestyle is easy or simple, they're lying and probably secretly very ill without people knowing. If they're telling you it's an everyday challenge, but accept the lifestyle and take the bull by it's horns give them a high five and support them! I have lived it, seen it, heard it and here to help by overcoming my own demons of over 20 years of being a diagnosed Celiac. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><br />

<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Support a Celiac or gluten-free lifestylist by understanding their common challenges. Oh my yes, there are everyday obstacles that never go away and repeat regularly in different forms at various times. Here is my list of everyday gluten-free risks that we must over come in order to remain healthy, in control and overcoming adversity. It's straight up and how you or someone you know can overcome gluten-free intolerances, allergies and of course, Celiac Disease. </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>Gluten free kitchen is a safe home</b>: I understand why most cannot have a gluten-free kitchen and I sympathize. My recommendation would be for your family, roommates or friends to show their support by eliminating gluten in the entire home. Try asking them if they can keep the home gluten-free and if they can eat gluten outside the home. This won't work for all, but gluten-free living requires a gluten-free home or your risk exponentially increases every dang day. If you can afford it, be sure to find the best gluten free replacement foods like bread, bagels, snack food and even dressings/condiments. They may even thank you.</span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>Do not eat out</b>: Too many Celiacs complain that life without socializing and eating out at restaurants is a life not worth living. How sad is this concept? That's ignorance at it's finest. I usually eat ahead of time and only snack or eat if they restaurant will guarantee a gluten-free meal. If they don't guarantee it then it's a cross contaminated kitchen with unprofessional and inexperienced chefs. Why would you risk your health for a few laughs and staying in touch? Say no. Hang out and have a beverage and get over your childish insecurities. If you do dine out, learn how to ask for Celiac safe food and if they cannot or don't understand, you better not dine out or you're asking for illness. </span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>Bring your own snacks everywhere: </b>This is the key to a long lasting gluten-free lifestyle. There are so many fruits, veggies and home-made snacks/meals or certified / verified snacks that exist out there. Bring a backpack full of food or a cooler of deliciousness so that wherever you go you won't succumb to risk taking of cross contaminated restaurants or desperation. Meal preparation is quite attractive. Control is awesome. Living well and smarter is how Celiacs / gluten free peeps thrive!</span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>Limit your processed packaged foods:</b> A gluten-free life need not be full of packaged foods from a pack or box in the grocery store. These foods can be saviors and delicious, but if you can't pronounce the ingredients because food has too many ingredients or a dirty nutritional label then you're on a crappy gluten-free lifestyle destined for weight gain, depression and likely malnutrition.</span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>Grow your own food:</b> Whether you own a home or rent an apartment, find out where the sun shines and plant veggies, herbs, fruits in the ground or pots. Seasonally, you can grow a small amount of food that feeds you, teaches you and saves you some cash. I'm not joking. Humans evolved by learning how to grow and find food. Don't be a lazy ass and be a smarter human being who learns and overcomes cultural ignorance. These are teachable moments for yourself, kids and adults. </span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>Teach yourself to cook:</b> The most social and exciting task when you're on a gluten-free journey is to learn to cook and find ways to improve your kitchen gadgets. Invest in a new cutting board, cutlery, pots and pans, spices, etc. Watch some cooking videos or hire a chef to train you and friends/family on cooking techniques and meals. You can find a few minutes to invest in yourself and learn how to dice veggies, slice meats, cook fish and bake appropriately. Nobody teaches these basic things to us. Sad I know. But so true!</span></li>

Despite your race, skin color, eye color, sex, or job, gluten related illness can strike. Modern science research has objectively showcased that any person, regardless of their heritage, often cannot ingest and digest food and beverage containing gluten resulting in a variety of auto immune related illnesses. </span><br />
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><img border="0" data-original-height="208" data-original-width="722" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfXVq9701v6hcm7guO4SgKfKbRO-cXUeh5z584xeSszX3e007j8Xbjtfuz7UMKmm0z5ugomFhAZtE50dUOFZKv2AdmO8OZQOuMxNMmJFEa400MkRS8x37OaP4j9Vh6pK318_vCGbppxc/s640/Salad+header.png" width="640" /></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Gluten related illnesses effects people differently, physically and internally, but carry a handful of similar symptoms despite the frustrating journey. Too many innocent people seem ill for a long period of time and cannot figure out how to treat themselves or receive bad medical advice causing damage to ones health. This road to diagnosis can be torture that lasts many years for some. Therefore, read through these gluten reduced behaviors vs gluten free behaviors and see where you belong today and how changes can be implemented to strive for a legit, gluten free lifestyle.</span><h2>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Gluten Can Cause Diarrhea, Skin Rash And Much More</span></h2>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Gluten, has been completely misdefined and misunderstood for decades by the general public. Gluten is either taken very serious, moderately or simply laughed at. Educated and intelligent humans can recognize the severity of gluten complexity and how it affects our kids, friends or acquaintances. However, common sense alone will not help someone commit to a very strict and proper gluten free lifestyle, for life! Most common and uncomfortable symptoms of gas, diarrhea, fatigue, head fog, skin rashes such as dermatitis herpetiformis, weight loss or gain, isolated inflammation, villous atrophy and other auto immune issues will present themselves with the presence of gluten in ones diet. </span><br />
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<h2>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Defining "Reduced Gluten"</span></h2>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">If you've ever declared yourself to be gluten-free, in any capacity, and can fairly recognize that gluten containing food is a culprit of detrimental health then you only have one decision to make; commit to a strictly gluten free lifestyle without taking on unnecessary risk, ever. However, gluten risk taking or cheating is all around us. Nobody likes the word "cheat" and it shouldn't be taken lightly either. For real, it's not sexy to talk negatively about gluten free living, trust me, I know because I hear the critics. Cheating and risk are similar though in this instance. One may not admit to cheating on their gf diet, but you're choosing a risk all of the time for some sort of benefit, knowingly that you may get ill for indulgence. Instagram influencers post the joys of GF dining, baking, cooking and sometimes the ingredients and packaged gluten-free options are not actually educating us. However, the reason for such misguided and naive gluten free health is our lack of universal definition to the phrase gluten free food, beverages and health / skin products and they leave out the serious conversation about risk. Therefore, conscious risk taking or accidents, cause severe misconceptions to the general public and we all may find ourselves needing to conquer the word, "No".</span><br />

<h2>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Gluten Free Lifestyles vs Reduce Gluten Free</span></h2>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Did you know that you're probably on a reduced gluten diet? </b>If you're home is not gluten-free, your eating out, your food choices are not fully proven gluten-free safe, then you're consciously taking risk of gluten consumption due to negligence and cross contamination risk. Breathe and admit it. Your choices showcase that you should describe yourself on the gluten reduced diet. You're not gluten-free and should no longer use this phrase to be more accurate to yourself and general public. However, you can make a change towards 100% gluten free health and avoid risk and accidents. </span></li>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Did you know that many great products, albeit organic, nonGMO, may use wheat grass and barley grass?</b> These young grain grasses are debated in our community and believed by Celiacs to be a risk to those who are on a strict gluten free lifestyle due to the risk of cross contamination and inherent gluten DNA of the ingredient. </span></li>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Did you know that gluten removed beers contain wheat, barley and/or malts and use unproven science to ensure that gluten is safely removed?</b> Most often these beers have small traces of gluten (or a lot) which cannot be guaranteed during random batch ppm testing. This could cause severe or moderate health concerns to those on a gluten free lifestyle. Despite the FDA guideline, <20 ppm testing, there are too many conflicting studies, lack of facts, and misleading input on these removal process, and stories of gluten-free patrons feeling ill to trust products that are made from gluten. Why risk this when there are dozens of safe alcoholic beverages made from gluten free ingredients?</span></li>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Did you know that many Celiac or gluten related homes of kids/adults experience cross contamination daily?</b> When your partner leaves bread crumbs on the cutting board and when you buy products with cross contaminated ingredients, you're being re-introduced to gluten daily, if not every meal. If you are unable to have a 100% gluten free home daily then you're risk continues to be high of getting glutened / ill for the rest of your life. Your home is a "safe zone" and encourage you to clean it up and get rid of 100% gluten foods and beverages, etc. </span></li>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Did you know that if you regularly experience gluten related symptoms of any type, ongoing, then you're on a reduced gluten diet and might be taking too many risks?</b> When you define yourself as a gluten-free, then you inherently are agreeing to live on a legit, strict and safe 100% gluten free diet. Although there are constant challenges, GF only has this definition. If not you're really just cheating yourself, and causing disarray to the entire gluten free general public with your mixed choices vs us all adhering to the same standards. Nobody said GF was easy, but when you commit all the way, truly 100% gluten free living, it does get easier and normal. </span></li>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Did you know that if you dine out regularly at restaurants, cafes and ice cream parlors that you're very likely to get cross contaminated? </b> Read the menu disclaimer, there is no place that will guarantee a safe gluten free meal in a cross contaminated gluten free kitchen. If you are consciously choosing to socialize outside of a GF safe kitchen, then you're risk taking is part of a reduced gluten free diet and not actually gluten-free lifestyle. Your gluten reduced behavior is now re-classified. </span></li>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Did you know that many gluten free labeled products are self labeled gluten-free?</b> This signifies zero policing by a third party. Any entrepreneur or manufacturer can write anything on their package. However, if they get caught misleading or causing illness they can be penalized to a variety of degrees. This is why you should never assume anything is gluten free until they prove to you that it was tested for gluten under the lowest <5ppm detection possible, or you are taking a risk. </span></li>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Did you know that gluten free products can be verified through a variety of 3rd party organizations? </b> These are great, but also tricky because each GF logo may test for a different amount of gluten ppm. In turn these <5ppm, <10 ppm or <20 ppm, bye the FDA gluten guidelines, completely assume the greater general public can tolerate some gluten when they should be adhering to zero gluten ppm / non detectable. Last time, I checked my actions, lifestyle, and body differ from the characteristics of the general population. </span></li>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Did you know that a diet is temporary while a lifestyle is permanent?</b> Yes. Dieting is usually correlated with a fairly quick adjustment to an end. Gluten free diets are quick, non comprehensive and loose. A lifestyle is a pure commitment with no end. Gluten Free lifestyles showcase the most accurately strict commitment to a complete gluten free education on sciences behind the disease state, ingredients, supply chain, reading labels, risk of eating out and packaged goods, etc. Join the gluten-free lifestyle and take complete control of your gluten free health. </span></li>
<li><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Do you accept that you're not like other people?</b> This is critical to your future self. Whether you are diagnosed with Celia Disease or another auto immune disease or another gluten intolerance, you have a second chance at life to learn more than the average person about the entire food industry. Yes! You can still enjoy millions of food and beverage, but you cannot have the same privileges anymore. The moment you realize this and act accordingly to educate yourself and those around you, you're on a gluten-free lifestyle. Thriving is a few challenging steps away and can still socialize to the moon, enjoy food and live extremely well with better decision making, food prep and truly thinking two steps ahead to live vibrantly. </span></li>

Whether you are avoiding gluten, peanuts, or any other allergy, it's difficult road ahead, but manageable with a serious commitment, and a smile. Taking on risk will only damage your health and your mind-frame. It's virtually impossible to avoid gluten risk due to complex farming, food manufacturing processing and human mistake that exists in the entire world. Therefore, adhering to a gluten free lifestyle, can only be possible if you are extra careful, reducing your risks to zero, and have a gluten free home that allows you and family members to be in a safe zone. All of this is feasible with a step by step process to acknowledge your reality and it's very possible.</span><br />
<br />
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">These assumptions are made from over 22+ years of Celiac Disease diagnosis first hand. I listen, read/speak to gluten free people, their stories, observe behaviors in restaurants, chefs, wait staff, parents, kids of all ages and cities. I believe my opinions are accurate to share for your consideration. My intentions are to create and support a 100% gluten free community for us all to learn, share, and ask questions. This is a two way street for us all to improve upon our constant GF challenges day to day :) Consult a physician for medical advice as you best see fit.</span><div><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span face="Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If you enjoy our gluten-free articles, click to enjoy our ads that connect with your lifestyle and follow us on Instagram at </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/realglutenfreeg" style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;" target="_blank">@RealGlutenFreeG</a><span face="Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> right now.</span></span></div></div>GlutenFreeGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03779134845311522356noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183643138524514563.post-78508967257773117292018-08-28T18:05:00.002-06:002024-02-26T15:57:48.253-07:00Happy Baby Organics Gluten Free Pouches<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Zoinks! Advocates from Canada our northern neighbor of USA deem Cheerios from parent company General Mills not suitable for gluten-free consumption. Still eating fake GF Cheerios? Too many gluten-free consumers either don't know this news exists, aren't showing symptoms or living ill and in denial of gluten-free issues. Who can we jump on to blame?</span><br />

No Definition or Standard For Gluten-Free Exists<a name='more'></a></h2>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;">Where do gluten-free and Celiac Disease consumers absorb their facts and food safety? Are gluten-free lifestylists accepting that Cheerios is very risky product that should never be consumed or trusted again due to Canada's removal of the GF stamp on the box? One would assume so, but shoppers are so "hooked" on this product as a product they grew up on or know of as a big food company they simply trust it as face value. Just search <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/gfcheerios/" target="_blank">GF Cheerios on Instagram here></a> and see that consumers love this stuff yet don't even question their GF testing protocol. It's almost funny yet another American public safety epidemic. If Canada's health department rejected this as a fake gluten-free product why didn't USA or more specifically why shouldn't you rethink what you put in your body? While masses join a gluten-free movement GF standards as a whole become a giant risk of the uneducated. </span></span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;">Call it desperation or ignorance? Those who support gluten-free Cheerios false labeling of gluten-free products are partly at blame. Humans still believe anything they see and filter out what they don't want to believe. Kinda right! Just search on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/onegfstandard/" target="_blank">Instagram #OneGFStandard</a> for the legit uses of gluten-free labeling and food consumption of real ingredients and the occasional safe processed product from one Celiac Disease patient to the world out there. I understand and sympathize what it's like to have temptation and be ill for no reason. I am human and living with an auto-immune disease, Celiac Disease, for over 20 years. I acknowledge to take some level of risk in the world but never on purpose! Yet my standard of gluten-free food and drink and skin care remain the same which is beyond the USA FDA simple guideline of <20 ppm self testing. </span></span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;">Stay away from Cheerios, says this 21+ year diagnosed Celiac Millennial. Why? In 2015 launch of General Mills Cheerios they reported that their product had already been nearly gluten-free and made minor changes and tested internally to stamp it Gluten-Free. That's an honest paraphrase, but it's all sorts of wrong to a Celiac Disease standard of gluten-free which is the only definition that matters. However, Cheerios didn't change any significant protocol and relied on imperfect internal batch testing to mostly be under FDA guidelines of <20 ppm without bringing in a third party laboratory tester that is trusted by the Celiac Disease community, Hmmm. The world has been watching and Cheerios are not gluten-free safe. This is a classic sign of a profit-hungry company that doesn't care at all about gluten-free public safety to change its sourcing and supply chain protocols. Why would you pay with your hard earned money any food from a company that acts this way?</span></span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;">So what happened in 2015 launch of Cheerios? So called <a href="http://www.realglutenfreeg.com/2015/10/cheerios-fails-gluten-free-launch-with.html" target="_blank">gluten free Cheerios recalled 1.8 million boxes</a> across the USA. Pause to read that article. Later, after they shipped product to stores did they realize the formula was compromised with a risk of heavy gluten ingredients! That's because General Mills and the main stream media suppressed public safety news to the rapidly growing gluten-free community and "fixed it" quickly. General Mills Cheerios, one of the oldest packaged food companies in America to bring you sweetened, genetically modified, artificial sweetener and preservative laced boxed cereal hoped you wouldn't notice or hear about this issue.</span></span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;">It was their failed attempt a few years ago to launch Cheerios in their new secret way to be GF despite any 3rd party validation or public testing of each batch of food in their labs. I'll repeat, this is a food giant who should have their nose to food safety, protocol and protect those with food allergies and diseases, and doesn't care just look at their other highly processed, sugar laced GMO cereals. </span></span></span><br />

The questions haunts us everyday when you have a chance to shop for any product at your local health food store from brands who are responsibly offering you verified GF and cleaner ingredients. Unfortunately, the human race continues to be irresponsible and mixed standards.

Yet majority of gluten-free consumers do not take gluten seriously and lack a huge education to eat safely. Most have either no idea of the phrase "cross contamination" or simply don't care how dangerous it is to consume a little bit of gluten in a public kitchen which scares me even more! It's my belief that these everyday cross contamination risks are damaging the entire gluten-free movement and keeping people secretly sick while they carry out their "normal" fake health focussed lives.</span></span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Have you worked at a restaurant or at least peeked inside a busy restaurant kitchen? It's a mad house of mastery with multiple chefs, cooks and runners on the line slicing, dicing, sautéing, baking and preparing dishes. In fact, it's quite beautiful at a nice restaurant to watch this unfold. You probably have at least seen it on TV or online cooking shows. However, when any gluten ingredients are involved, especially, wheat flour, an entire kitchen becomes cross contaminated and risks go up for you and me.</span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">We are all different gluten-free species across a realm of diagnosis. Some are diagnosed Celiacs, gluten-free sensitive, wheat allergy, carb free and so on who may opt into removing some gluten filled foods. But that's the key, it's a reduced gluten lifestyle and not actually gluten-free safe. Think about this... When one of us turns into most of us taking cross contamination risks regularly to enjoy a social life we are all losing when you throw away your demand for gluten-free transparency. </span></span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">From Instagram posts by Celiacs and other gluten-free consumers using hash tags #glutenfree when enjoying McDonalds, coffees at Starbucks, pizza at a random Italian restaurant that bakes fresh gluten flours and desserts, strict gluten-free lives get flipped upside down. None of those places can guarantee any level of gluten-free safety and nobody is policing them to avoid getting someone glutened. I know this because 20 years ago when I was first diagnosed I flirted with these everyday risks to be social and fit in with family and friends. However, I chose to stop this behavior quickly when I was consistently confused, frustrated and realized how much of a mess the cross contamination of the food industry truly was and how risky my lifestyle became all for eating fries out at a diner. </span></span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Let me be clear since few else will tell you this... the labeled "gluten-free" menu items are littered with gluten cross contamination. Did you ever notice that these menus also have a disclaimer about allergies how they won't guarantee a safe meal? Get a clue people and make a change. From the salad you ordered with a few bread crumbs on the side to the actual bread accidentally dropped on your salad there is plenty of human error in a busy kitchen and they won't throw away your food to take a loss they will dust off the crumbs. When a special order is made in a busy kitchen you are only receiving a lower risk meal or as I call it a gluten reduced meal. Think about it.</span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">I'll repeat it again nicely... From restaurant menus to self labeled food packaging you are taking a health risk everyday and ruining it for Celiacs who take their health seriously. While you are not. Even if you start to feel better on your free for all "reduced gluten" lifestyle the amount of gluten you are absorbing is real despite not seeing it so clearly. Whether you have the no big deal occasional head fog, body ache, GI discomfort, diarrhea or silent symptom you are living sickly. You may dismiss your symptoms or not even know it. Just admit it, you are on a reduced gluten diet and please stop stating the phrase "gluten-free" so that others can succeed in their lifestyle.</span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Lastly, certified gluten-free brands undergo and agree to a 3rd party protocol of best practice instructions to avoid gluten cross contamination in their manufacturing facilities. They agree to test the final product during each batch as well for full transparency. Despite plenty of human error being possible, 3rd party gluten-free certification is all we have to maintain trust and consistency. Meanwhile, plenty of brands are not certified and simply state in any font type "gluten-free" or make up some random logo which is a risk you need to start recognizing. Does it have a legit, third party approved GF logo on the packaging or is it confusing you? I'd recommend that you call the company and ask for their QA or Production Manager or President and ask for their gluten-free protocol to ensure it's safe for those with Celiac Disease. If they confuse you even more run away! Don't purchase products that are a risk to your health despite how good they may taste, c'mon. Tell them your issues and consider boycotting their fake GF products sharing their risk behaviors with others to avoid someone getting ill. </span></span><br />

This recognizable gluten-free logo from <a href="https://www.gluten.org/" target="_blank">Gluten Intolerance Group</a> is above and beyond the poor FDA guidlines of <20 ppm gluten cross contamination. It's true that most Celiacs don't respect this FDA guideline because 20ppm is too high! It is! I want the test to show not detectable gluten, not 15 ppm! Gluten Intolerance Group requires <10ppm more strict standard which is in the right direction. I support <5ppm as a preference though. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Let's turn this scary yet true analysis of the gluten-free market place into a positive one. I thrive by educating myself on what gluten actually is and where it's found. Eating out is a treat and not regular because there is mid to high risk each time. There are a few dedicated gluten-free restaurants and you should eat there as much as you can. Learn to say, "no" and eat ahead of time or prepare your own snacks when you desire to be social with friends. Even a salad can be a huge risk because trusting a stranger in a mixed kitchen is not worth my time. Get to know restaurant chefs and General Managers and if they listen, learn and show they care give it a try, if not, forget them! A smart chef will be honest and tell you of the risk, so be ready to walk out. Stop trusting so much and demand gluten-free transparency. And most of all grow your own food, whether it be a small garden or big one. Take control of your second chance at life and literally cook every meal in your own gluten-free kitchen and grow up! </span><br />

Continue your education and challenge the gluten-free claims you see and read. Reduced Gluten is not the same as gluten-free and I ask you to spread the message. </span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">The Spring Weather has definitely arrived and that early morning freeze has officially subsided in greater NJ/NYC/Philadelphia area. It's the time to rock out with my green thumb and plant some of my favorite greens right away this week. Although I'm not an expert gardener and haven't been able to garden in recent years, I have a few gardening tips that anyone, anywhere can implement to grow your own food. Starting with arugula, red leaf lettuce, spinach, kale and parsley! </span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">I strongly believe that every human being on the Earth should know the basics of gardening to be able to survive and thrive if they have property or simply pots to grow veggies and herbs. Why? Because it only takes a little bit of work and a lotta love. For some reason in America, having a garden is strange vs having a big green lawn of grass. I find that stranger. Grocery and supermarkets make it all too convenient to buy everything. Well, last time I checked money doesn't grow on trees/bushes but food does :) You could drastically reduce your produce bill, learn great skills and get a work out, spend more time with family and friends, while managing a garden and creating a routine for cleaner and healthier living. </span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">These are the ABCs of gardening to encourage everyone and their mother to get their garden growing TODAY. It's a perfect day to start planting. Speak to your local garden nursery about seasonal vegetables and natural/organic planting tools and tips. All you need is determination and a few hours, with some regular maintenance and you'll be enjoying the fruits of your labor in a matter of weeks. </span><br />

<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 1</b>: Identify a place of land or community garden. Or where can you find enough sun at your home or apartment outdoors to put some garden pots! Identify the shape and w</span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">eed like crazy. This may be common sense, but a weeded garden is a happier and healthier garden. It's not glamorous work, but less weeds, less issues and prettier! </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 2: </b></span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Turn the soil with a shovel and supplement with organic soil from your local nursery. Level the soil but keep aware of the erosion and draining of water to avoid puddling in your garden bed. </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 3: </b>Lay down organic weed block. It's imperative to protect the soil from extra weeds while maintaining water and temperature for your veggies and herbs. Lay one layer or two pending your weed block to deter weeds and keep holes open for seeding or transplanting vegetables. </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 4: </b>Water like crazy. Saturate the veggies on a warm day and be sure draining and erosion isn't affecting the garden beds. Use common sense to water regularly while the weather is warm and sunny. If it rains, don't water that day. Early on water at least one time per day and if it's super hot check in on your garden morning and night. Avoid watering in the middle of the hot day. </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 5: </b>Maintain the garden growth with weeding, soil raking and cleaning up from erosion, watering daily when possible and harvesting regularly according to your veggie output. </span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">The best part of gardening is that every single fruit and vegetable in the world is gluten-free. Hallelujah! Yes, that's a fact. Just be careful of cross contaminated or added gluten found in straw and hay from farms with wheat or oats. Also some gluten is found in fertilizers and poor quality weed block, gluten pesticide or weed deterrents, etc. Keep your garden legit all-natural and gluten-free or something</span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> is very wrong. </span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">No joke, it's that easy. Determination and commitment will take you far in this world and gardening isn't any different than a regular job.

No joke. I've tried other canned chicken and tuns for years and they may be somewhat edible especially if you spread mayonnaise, or squirt fresh organic lemon on them. However, this canned chicken breast doesn't need mayonnaise or lemon or any other dressings because the taste is so fresh (not smelly) yet filling, meaty and fantastic and goes down smooth. </span></span><br />

<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Who gives you advice about living strictly gluten-free? Some random gluten free expert on Instagram with tons of followers, a blogger with gluten sensitivity, a yogi mom with a few auto-immune children living a strict paleo diet, a fellow Celiac with a ton of Twitter followers, but why? </span><br />

<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">I ask myself the same question over and over and do not understand why any of them have authority over another. If their pretty food posts, creative recipes and stories of restaurant socializing are inspiring you then it's important to find out who is not living symptom free, and if you're finding yourself often ill when you're supposed to be committed to healthier and smarter gluten free choices. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">The world of auto-immune diseases including gluten free lifestyles can be extremely frustrating. That's because opinions on the internet and from your doctor, are just that, opinions. Go to an expert, and commit yourself to real diagnosis by sharing symptoms and commitment to saying no to food that poses any level of risk, say No!</span><br />
<br />
<h2>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Gluten Free Experts</b></span></h2>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">With many brands committed to the gluten free 3rd party testing procedures you'll find a product labeled with a gluten-free certification. Or a store like Trader Joe's says they have their private label foods tested under <20ppm gluten instead of lower such as <10 ppm or preferable <5ppm. This is a constant mess of risk and and mistrust. If you're a Celiac trusting the FDA <20ppm experts say that you're ingesting too much gluten risk. FDA has been challenged by their guideline and no change has occurred yet. </span><br />
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h2>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Restaurants Have No Gluten Free Experts</span></h2>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">If there is any flour, bread or gluten in a restaurant's kitchen, you're at risk. The smarter, charismatic chefs come out and talk to you about gluten free food safety, but RARELY guarantee anything, stating we'll do our VERY best. This usually makes us all feel good. However if not all staff are trained and you see a mistake happen, often there were many! So if you eat out often, then you're in deep doo-doo taking lots of risks! This happens at restaurants for you, on a daily basis. Eating in a chef's kitchen whether it be high end or a dive, you're risk level starts to sky rocket from human error and nature of the cross contamination affect.</span><br />
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Further, any gluten-free labeled food snack (cheese, chips, burrito, bread, ice cream, etc) may seem like a quick win, but if your standards can't stop there, you would be forgetting or naive to ask more important questions. </span><br />
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Too many social media influencers are promoting low quality ingredients and GMO (Genetically modified organisms) as gluten-free safe food. If you are following some random college girl who gets free food at a food show in her city then you're in more deep doo-doo. </span><br />
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Example: Cheerios are not gluten-free safe for Celiacs or anyone that respects the real defintion of gluten-free. Why? They do not incur any 3rd party testing for gluten ppm and their own internal batch testing procedures are not consistent. Hence, their two million box recall in 2016! That's why Canadian Celiac groups denied Cheerios the GF label but lobbying corruption and miscommunication in the American FDA / food supply / so called professionals and amateur influencers opinions cause innocent people to suffer and go to the doctor's office over and over again. I repeat, General Mills brands like Cheerios are not to be trusted until they commit to a rigorous gluten-free 3rd party AND remove GMOs. </span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">GF Cheerios are not to be trusted by those with Celiac Disease or any gluten-free lifestylist due to General Mills sloppy allergen manufacturing protocols, poor testing procedures, and a terrible recall of 2 million GF boxes during their launch harming innocent Celiacs. Even <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/gluten-free-cheerios-celiac-warning-1.3741540" target="_blank">Canada's Celiac Association recommends against "gluten-free Cheerios</a>". There are plenty of delicious, and safer gluten-free cereal options than any of General Mills (parent company of Cheerios) terribly unhealthy cereals anyway, lol. Don't be a fruit loop people. Ugh, Cheerios is just another terribly messy brand, pasing by, trying to profit in the gluten-free market without being transparent.</span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Always inquire about why/how/what brands are doing to ensure gluten-free transparency. Trust is earned, never granted without permission. Do not jump to sample something without a conversation first. Truly think about people's responses to your questions. Therefore at this food expo many brands will tell you that of course they are gluten-free, but really are they? Honestly, at nearly every food show I've been to I've found at least one brand who wasn't educated on gluten-free safe for Celiac Disease and reported it to the food show leaders. </span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Gluten-Free Event Sampling Tips: </span></h2>
<ol>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Do not sample without having a conversation first. Events are busy places. </span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Start by asking why is gluten-free important to your brand mission? If there is no good answer, why would you bother supporting this company?</span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Ask if brand is 3rd party verified. Whether yes or no, ask by whom do they test, how often and what level ppm testing is being done.</span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">If a brand doesn't test for gluten, even if it's made in a GF facility do not sample, ask for a testing protocol. </span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Ask if brand ever had a positive gluten test in facility.</span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">If they make products in a co-packer what steps are taken to ensure there are no gluten mistakes and allergen contamination?</span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Look around! Ask if there is any risk of cross contamination with use of appliances such as toasters, griddles, cutting boards, knives or products like butter, jam and cream cheese.</span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Look at the ingredients and ask if they use artificial ingredients or unpronounceable ingredients run away fast. </span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Ask if they are non-GMO project verified or if their product contain genetically modified food, if so, which ingredients and why do they use GMOs? Then laugh at them and run away :)</span></li>
<li><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Ask if brand members are familiar with Celiac Disease - the auto-immune disease responsible for the gluten-free lifestyle. If the staff is uneducated and knows nothing about the legit gluten-free lifestyle tell them you are disappointed, snap a pic and post it on social media.</span></li></ol><div><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If you enjoy our gluten-free articles, click to enjoy our ads that connect with your lifestyle and follow us on Instagram at </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/realglutenfreeg" style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;" target="_blank">@RealGlutenFreeG</a><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> right now.</span></div>

Since food is a key variable this time of year, gluten-free eating becomes once again nearly impossible, if you let it. That's why preparing ahead, learning to say no and minimizing expectations by taking no risks is what being "independent" is all about. </span></span></span><br />

Haha, well for those of us whom have Celiac Disease, must live gluten-free and my lifestyle is 100% serious to avoid gluten risks. Yet some take many risks and suffer while others do not in this free world. Are you capable of saying, "No, thank you" and avoiding temptations and indulgences?

Shouldn't you have control of what you put in your body, to say yes/no for your gluten-free health and take it more serious or be even more careful and serious about the gluten-free issues that you see everyday at restaurants, homes and packaged food?

<span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">Living with a gluten related auto-immune disease, wheat allergy, or gluten intolerance can be extremely difficult. None of these are the same though yet that have a lot in common. From Celiac Disease to a wheat allergy we all decide on different lifestyle choices. Some illnesses can be life threatening and others are not because you can treat yourself and remove risks. A very common everyday risk remains though, when you dine in at a restaurant and order from a gluten-free menu or from a server explaining their GF options, there is little to no chance you're receiving a 100% gluten-free meal. In turn, you have accepted the responsibility for potential G.I. intestinal trauma, diarrhea, exhaustion, or another delayed auto immune reaction. A restaurant may provide you with a degree of 1-on-1 attention to make you feel safe, warm and fuzzy, but the risk is real, every time, you're taking a conscious risk of cross contamination in the kitchen. These decisions are very risky!</span></span><br />

<span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">I've seen first hand, read on Instagram and debated throughout social media different gluten free risk assessments from those with Celiac, gluten intolerance and other gluten lifestyle choices. Most often these consumers live without fear yet very unhealthy by taking on a lot of gluten risk eating out at restaurants and people's homes. Nobody wants to stay at home when friends go to a hot new cafe, restaurant or bar. Or the anxiety related to turning down food at a family member's house because of the cross contamination! Aye. I know this so well. Therefore fitting in and joining your peers out on the town is vital to relationships of all sorts, personal and professional, or is it? Being high maintenance at a restaurant is both very challenging and uncomfortable for everyone involved yet many gluten free consumers live very risky lives with their illnesses, are you one of them?</span></span><br />

</span></span></h4>
<span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">As noted above from Mission BBQ's gluten-free menu disclaimer, "There is always a risk of contamination". Is this bizarre, normal or is this a federal offense to confuse, trick or lie to customers, I'm unsure? Nearly all gluten-free menus have a disclaimer. A disclaimer protects the establishment of risk taken by the consumer. These owners may be very nice people, trained chefs, smooth talkers capitalizing on the gluten free world wide trend, but their kitchen is a risky place for someone with a gluten related illness, and I'm tired of this, aren't you? How can a person with a known gluten-free health concern knowingly trust food at a restaurant from complete strangers who have disclaimers? Customers are knowingly or naively risking their health for... socially acceptance?</span></span><br />

<br />
<span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">For some reason FDA is still too slow to make a law about gluten related food handling. My solution is to either stop claiming gluten-free food at restaurants (not consumer packaged goods because they can test for gluten ppm), change the menu to "Reduced gluten menus" or install two kitchens. Kinda gluten-free, contaminated gluten-free or not guaranteeing gluten-free is not a legal gluten-free menu. Gluten is a public health dilemma. </span></span><br />

<h4>
<span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">Gluten Can Be Lethal </span></span></h4>
<span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">The

health such as malnutrition, dehydration, malignancies, pregnancy
complications, immunodeficiency, auto immune disease. Who would do this to themselves - I ask myself over and over.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">Are these types of everyday behaviors leading to the gluten free popularity or damaging the lives of those with auto immune diseases like Celiac Disease and beyond? All of these conscious risks taken by "gluten-free" people is starting to sound more like a serious world wide epidemic but when will it tip?</span></span></span></span><br />
<span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span> </span></span><br />
<span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">I
was diagnosed with Celiac Disease nearly 20 years ago and chose not to
eat out at restaurants pretty much at all with minor exceptions. I choose to live healthy and be in control by bringing my own food/beverages or eating ahead of time. At restaurants I always call ahead, speak to a manager and chef and listen to their gluten free approach. I then may ask what is the lowest risk possible in the kitchen and I debate with the chef when I disagree. Also ask how much gluten flour is in the kitchen because flour goes airborne and contaminates everywhere. Does the kitchen clean utensils, aprons, gloves regularly? Likely no! I've worked in a restaurant, they're organized chaos at best. So what do I do at a restaurant? I think about what was told to me and choose to either dine in, not eat or simply leave taking the least risk possible. Saying NO is critical after these conversations if the restaurant is uneducated and full of sh**. If I choose to eat there I still take on risk because it's not a gluten free kitchen, but sometimes it's necessary, right? How often are you taking on these risks and how do you feel? Only you can know how healthy you truly are. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">It is my favorite month of the year, May - Celiac Awareness Month! So another year has gone by, and we journey through another period of reflection. </span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Let's look back at this moment on your health - how do you actually feel about the health of your body and mind this past year? Seriously, are you feeling well right this moment? Are you satisfied with your ability to say, No? Are you handling food and beverages risks and have you learned more this year than the past regarding the risk of cross contamination, asking questions about food ingredients? Do you feel that your overall health has improved or are you unsure, frustrated and confused more than ever of the status of your Celiac Disease, gluten intolerance or gluten reduced diet? I certainly</span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> hope that you put yourself first, lived well, eaten well, exercised and laughed in the good life!</span><br />

<h3>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Power of "No" </span></h3>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">When I reference, No, I am referring to the ability to not take risks of gluten cross contamination and the unknown. Whether you have Celiac Disease or on a gluten reduced diet, adhering to zero gluten consumption is the only solution. You don't have to feel awkward as there are always options in the free world to find gluten free safe food. Often that requires, bringing your own safe food, calling on restaurants, many of them, to plead if they can strictly adhere to a legit Celiac safe gluten free lifestyle. If you succumb to the pressure and take on a gluten risk, only you suffer, not the waiter, chef or your friend/family member. Learn to say No kindly, and ask for cleanliness, washing and improvements to educate and help reduce the most common, gluten cross contamination risks. It's a fair request. </span><br />

<h3>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Gluten Free Body & Mind</span></h3>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Our mind and body are in sync. Control is not easy, it's actually really hard to obtain, but we can allow the wind to blow while making better decisions and having control of our health as the top priority! Gluten like many other food ingredients can have a direct correlation with our brain and gut performance. What you eat effects so many parts of your chemistry. Therefore, if you are not adhering to a strict gluten-free lifestyle or believe you don't have to for one reason or another, your health will continue to be at risk. Ask yourself, was ordering that slice pizza from a contaminated brick oven, or not reading the ingredients on every product from the store looking for a certified gluten-free symbol worth it? I say, No, because each diarrhea, exhaustion, brain fog and fatigue is stacking up on your overall health. Struggling through these reactions is not at all healthy, you can do better this year :) When you feel good, everything else will certainly follow. </span><br />

<h3>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Gluten Free Community</span></h3>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, the phrase gluten-free still doesn't have one defintion to everyone in the food industry. The phrase gluten free is used very lightly not catering to the ultimate Celiac Disease consumer. Every day I either purchase packaged food or go to a restaurant and I see a gluten-free labels or menus that end up with cross contamination. Ugh! As I probe with the general manager or waiter, I continue to be told that restaurants can't guarantee gluten-free options to someone with Celiac Disease. Therefore, there is no gluten free option, there is only food with perhaps, reduced gluten. Very different. Very very risky. We have a lot of work to do!</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">While we all live in different places, experience different hurdles and walk different paths with variables of gluten free risks each and every day. I would imagine we can all agree that gluten-free awareness, gluten-free menus and Celiac Disease awareness continues to improve. But when it doesn't you must say something and educate others. When you travel you ask for a gluten-free menu, when you go to someone's house in another city you ask if they can help make gluten-free options. While the struggle certainly continues, know that there is people like you and me that continue to face risky decisions for social acceptance and basic necessity. It will always exist this way. Only the gluten-free activists and ambassadors like us can continue to make these necessary shifts in education to these restaurants managers, chefs and brand owners and change our friend and family perspective on the seriousness of gluten-free cross contamination in the house, kitchen, cutting board and other cooking utensils, stoves and equipment. Cross contamination is so scary and one puff of an open bag of wheat flour can contaminate food in an entire restaurant and home kitchen. With these lessons we reflect on our lives and the challenges that we face every single day, despite your level of gluten free living. It's just the truth and the #OneGFStandard that we all should all adhere to.</span></div>

Nothing, I hope was your answer. Continue living a very strict gluten free lifestyle and don't be afraid or worried about what others think of it. Whether you're a mother, father, grand mother or child, you can't be the best and t thrive regularly if you're not in control. </span></div><div><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If you enjoy our gluten-free articles, click to enjoy our ads that connect with your lifestyle and follow us on Instagram at </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/realglutenfreeg" style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;" target="_blank">@RealGlutenFreeG</a><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> right now.</span></span></div>

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">There is no compromise for taste experience and nutrition. These are cookies with hidden vegetables and even fruits. Vegetables are not the first ingredient, but it's also not the last. Gotcha? These are cookies and you should feel a little better eating a few of these than traditional gluten free cookies. Available at great natural groceries such as; Sprouts, Fresh Market and online!</span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">My favorite was Gluten Free Red Velvet Cookie. Mm mm mmm! Made from 1/4 cup of beets. Dried and grounded into powder ideal for the baking process. The red color of this fine delicate cookie batter combo is all-natural and soft inside, just enough chewiness to melt in your mouth! A monster yet a bite sized gluten free cookie!</span></span><br />
