Barilla to introduce a gluten free pasta line

Following in the footsteps of Ronzoni, Barilla is in the process of introducing a line of gluten free pastas.
These pastas will include:
  • Spaghetti
  • Penne
  • Rotini
  • Elbows
The gluten free pasta is being produced in a gluten free facility in Italy. The pastas will be made with a combination of non-GMO rice and corn. The pasta will be sold in 12 ounce boxes. The price of the pasta is expected to be $2.39. The price isn't bad, considering what we already spend on satisfactory pastas.

Look for Barilla's gluten free pasta line to hit supermarket shelves, in early 2014. Some stores may see the pastas sooner, however. There is word that consumers could see the gluten free pastas, at select stores, as early as next month. The pastas will be available, nationally, in 2014.

I don't know about you, but, I'm excited for this. Before I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, I was a huge fan of Barilla pasta. Aside from homemade pasta, it was the best pasta that I have ever had. The fact that Barilla is noticing the need for a gluten free line has made super excited.

I know some of you like to read my reviews of various gluten free foods. If I see the product in my area next month, I will be sure to test the product out for you all.

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

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

Celiac Women At a Decreased Risk for Hormone-Related Cancers.

When it comes to Celiac Disease, there really are not many benefits to the disease. However, research has shown that women, who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are at a lower risk for hormone-related cancers, which include Endometrial, Breast, and Ovarian Cancers. Women with Celiac Disease are 15% less likely to develop Breast Cancer, 40% less likely to develop Endometrial Cancer, and 11% less like to develop Ovarian Cancer. Researchers believe that this is due to a decreased level of female hormones that promote reproductive Cancers.
