Popular Question: Is Jell-O gluten free?

on Monday, 02 May 2011. Posted in Did you know?

I get asked ALL of the time about Jell-O

JELL-O brings a lot of us back to our childhood... and those awesome commercials with Bill Cosby. I get asked quite frequently if JELL-O is gluten free, or not. Most people actually assume that is not safe to eat, myself included in the beginning days of gluten free. But, lo and behold, Kraft brand JELL-O is gluten free! When I was first diagnosed and made the switch to gluten free, I wasn't sure by reading the label alone because there are natural and artificial flavors listed.

Coca-Cola: Gluten Free Edition

on Tuesday, 22 March 2011. Posted in Did you know?

Is it... or isn't it??

I was asked by a Facebook user yesterday, the following question: "Question: It is my understanding that regular Coca Cola likely has gluten in the caramel coloring, and that the Coke company's response that is has less than 200 ppm isn't consistent with the less than 20 ppm that is required to consider a product g-free. But, there is Kosher for Passover Coke out there, and since that diet is essentially g-free, I am wondering if anyone knows if THAT Coke is g-free also?"

Clearing up the confusion on which brands are gluten free.

But after a lot of label reading, it's quite scary. Most broths include hydrolyzed wheat gluten AND MSG. Blech! So I decided to do the homework and find out which brands are gluten free so you are prepared for the next grocery store trip.

The Florida Panthers Host Celiac Awareness Night

Stanley C. Panther goes gluten free for a night

My household is a die-hard hockey house. NHL Package on the TV and all. Barely a game missed. And even though Florida + Hockey is sort-of an oxymoron, we'll go to Panther's game if our teams (Canadians or Rangers) are playing or if we just need a hockey fix. But one thing I don't like about going to a game, though, is there is absolutely NOTHING to eat at Bank Atlantic Center that is gluten free. But the Celiac Disease Foundation South Florida Chapter is looking to change that.
