The holidays and New Year's are a great time to celebrate and have a couple of "adult beverages." However there is still a lot of confusion over which drinks are safe for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Mike and Cam weigh in on gluten removed beers, alcohol distilled from gluten containing grains, and more. Also, Jessica Hanson of Tasty Meditation shares a story about a recent issue that she had trying to get a drink that was safe.

The Holidays are a great time of joy, but let's be honest, they can be stressful too. It can be especially hard navigating holiday parties and family get togethers that often revolve around food. We are devoting a special hour long podcast to share holiday tips in which we are joined by blogger and fellow celiac, Jessica Hanson (Tasty Meditation). Jessica, Mike and Cam talk strategy to make sure the holidays are as festive and free of stress as possible.

This study is absolutely first of its kind and seeks to find connections to what makes celiac disease go live in certain people. The hope is that this study could lead to a breakthrough in predicting who will get celiac disease and in how it is treated. They are still looking for candidates to join the study.

Oct 18, 2016

Is all gluten free food created equal? When something is "certified" gluten free does that guarantee that the product is for sure under 20 PPM gluten free? Based on some research conducted by The Gluten Free Watchdog, Mike and Cam discuss the realities of gluten free labeling and the fact that we might not always be getting something that is completely safe for someone with celiac disease or who is very gluten sensitive.

Fascinating stuff, especially if you are someone whose symptoms didn't disappear by simply going gluten free.

They also talk about their hopes for a celiac test for people who have already gone off gluten. To this point, they take a deeper look at the so called "gluten challenge,"some of the issues with it, and the fact that the medical community can't come to an agreement about how to actually administer the gluten challenge.

Aug 3, 2016

This week's podcast takes a look at a Buzzfeed video, in which four of their employees agree to go gluten free for a month.

Jul 20, 2016

Jul 12, 2016
