Read moreGluten Free Holiday Tips: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas
October 25, 2015
Halloween Candy
•Two gluten free candy lists at About.com 2015 or CDF Candy List.
• Warning: Some candy bars that are normally GF are not gluten free if they are in holiday shapes or are miniaturized. (i.e. York Peppermint Patty, Butterfinger)
Thanksgiving & Christmas
• Butterball & Honeysuckle Turkey (and more brands) are GF.
(Butterball even has a GF gravy packet)
• Beware of how the turkey is cooked. If possible, ask the host to keep stuffing and gravy separated from the turkey so you can enjoy the main entrée. If the turkey is made in a cooking bag, it is possible that flour is used to coat the bag so the turkey doesn’t stick to it. Ask your host if cornstarch can be used instead.
• Honey Baked Ham and Honey Baked Roasted or Smoked Turkey are GF.
• Pumpkin (Libby’s canned is GF) or apple pie are easily made GF. For crust, consider using Bob’s Red Mill Pie Crust Mix. It makes 2 crusts and is available at Marc’s.
Gluten free social situations:
BYOM (Bring Your Own Meal)
-Consider bringing something in a covered serving dish, that is easily reheated in microwave and is without much fuss.
-Make it “substantial” (with protein and veggies),
–Serve yourself first … (prevents cross contamination)
-Make sure it’s something special, so you do not feel deprived … and others do not feel sorry for you.

Read moreThe Gluten Free Watchdog Takes a Position on Oats: A review of “GF Cheerios: Take Two”
August 27, 2015
Move over Ralph Nader, there’s an independent voice in the gluten free community.
Tricia Thompson MS RD runs the Gluten Free Watchdog website. She routinely pulls gluten free food off shelves and tests it for gluten.
She has her work cut out for her. The new gluten free labeling law of 2014, although a first step toward identifying safe GF products, is a soft law. It doesn’t require manufacturers to test, doesn’t require a particular type of test or outside tests, and doesn’t regulate the frequency of testing. If labeled GF, the final product simply cannot contain 20 parts per million (ppm) or more of gluten.
Before the new law, only oats certified GF by an outside agency were allowed on the strict gluten free diet. Now General Mills will be mechanically cleaning regular oats and as long as they can prove them to be under 20ppm, they can be labeled GF.
That means GM will be launching SEVEN “new” GF cereals this fall—FIVE flavors of Cheerios, CHEX CLUSTERS FRUIT AND OATS, and even LUCKY CHARMS (which will be labeled GF under the nutrition panel).
Tricia Thompson recommends sticking with certified GF oat cereals. Should we follow her recommendation?
