Product Review: Three Bakers, Whole Grain Rye Style Bread.

If you are a seasoned Celiac like me, you know that some gluten free bread lacks in taste. They are not moist, the bread is crumbly, and certainly not worth the $6 a loaf you pay at the local supermarket.

However, there is one type of bread, that I have come across, that is absolutely amazing. Three Bakers is a 100% gluten free baked goods company. They are known for putting out amazing gluten free bread. One of the Three Bakers, Jane Trygar, is a fellow Celiac. She worked alongside her father (until he passed away), and her husband. Trygar was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2002. She and her husband have been working hard to make gluten free baked goods that are delicious.

Several months ago, as I was food shopping, I was looking in the GF frozen food section of my local supermarket. I noticed Three Bakers, Whole Grain Rye Style Bread. My heart skipped a beat. Before I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, rye bread was my favorite bread of all time. I just loved the taste of it. After my diagnosis, I was upset because I could never have rye bread again.
When I saw the rye style bread, I immediately put it in my shopping basket. The next morning, I was making eggs and toast, using the rye style bread. I put my favorite jam on it, and took my first bite. Can I tell you, it was the best GF bread I have ever had! It tastes EXACTLY like rye bread.

If you are Celiac, and miss rye bread, you MUST pick up Three Bakers Whole Grain Rye Style Bread. The nutritional facts are very reasonable, only 140 calories. Sodium is only 230mg, which is pretty good for bread. They are fairly pricey, but, so worth it.

Celebrities who have Celiac Disease

Getting diagnosed with Celiac Disease can be pretty tough (believe me, I remember how hard it was for me). You may be the first among your family and/or friends that has been diagnosed as Celiac. It can be lonely (even though my grandmother had it, and I was partially raised by her, she had been gone for a few years when I was diagnosed. I had no one). What gave me some comfort was that I was not alone. Some of the celebrities I look up to were also Celiac Disease sufferers. People like Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Emmy Rossum had been living with the disease for years before I was diagnosed. I researched both and learned a lot from them. Also, learning that my first celeb crush has 2 Celiacs in his family really helped me feel less alone. Here is a list of celebs who have diagnosed Celiac Disease: Elizabeth Hasselbeck (public figure) Emmy Rossum (actress) Wil Wheaton's mom and sister Meg Cabot (author) Sarah Joy Brown (actress) Joe C (rapper who frequently performed with

To Eat Gluten Free Oats, or Not To Eat Gluten Free Oats?

When you're diagnosed with Celiac Disease, you are given a list of what food you cannot eat. Wheat, Barley, Rye, and Oats. However, you find that there is such a thing as gluten free oats. You wonder if it is safe for you to chance eating it. You think to yourself: "It's gluten free, so it cannot be too bad, right?" Depending on how sensitive your Celiac is, it may be bad. While a majority of Celiacs may be able to stomach gluten free oats, and granola, there are a small percentage of us that cannot handle GF oats and granola. I fall into the sensitive category. I loved eating oatmeal, before I was diagnosed with Celiac. After I was diagnosed, I was lost. It was not until a month or two after my diagnosis, where I discovered gluten free oats. I picked some up, and started eating it every morning for breakfast. It was not until day 3 of eating GF oats, where I began to feel sick. My stomach was cramping, I was fatigued, I was nauseated. I thought I had been "

South Park's Gluten-Free Ebola Episode

photo credit: southparkdigital Greetings Celiac Warriors! Recently, South Park did a gluten free episode that got a lot of attention in the gluten free and Celiac communities. For the most part, the reaction has been positive. Many folks, including myself, found it hilarious. You may be wondering what the episode was about. I'm going to give you the cliff notes version: The episode starts off with the kids returning to school after their start up company fails. Then the show cuts to the teachers lounge where the teachers are discussing Mr. Mackey who has gone gluten free. Mr. Mackey comes back and starts blaming all the world's problems on gluten. A co-worker becomes annoyed by all the gluten free talk and starts screaming at Mr. Mackey to shut up. Mackey states that behavior problems are due to gluten consumption. A female teacher expresses interest in going gluten free. Later on, the boys are on the radio promoting an "epic" party. Callers ask the boys i
