I get a lot of emails these days from folks who are not diagnosed with Celiac but want to make food for their recently diagnosed loved one at an upcoming family party or special event. Many look for recipes such as the ones listed here at healthy-family.org.
I understand the need to make the gluten intolerant guest feel a part of things, as food is a natural way to bring folks together at holiday times and at parties. But it’s not practical, and no matter how good your intentions are, if you do not know the specific risks and pitfalls it can be dangerous for your visitor to eat what you’re serving. …read the rest of this entry »

Are you Chronically Sick? Many folks who find themselves practicing a gluten free diet wind up on that road for a variety of reasons. You may have tested positive for gluten intolerance, may have found out you suffer from Celiac disease, and may have even been diagnosed with candida overgrowth. If you are struggling and finding that the gluten free diet is not helping you regain your health it is quite possible you need to eliminate additional grains from your diet.
I recently attended the Conference on Natural Treatments for Tics, OCD, Tourette Syndrome, and Depression last weekend in Dallas. I heard Doug Kaufmann speak at length about mycotoxins and their negative effect on the body. The author of eight books on fungi and host of the syndicated television show, “Know the Cause”, he claims that these toxins are capable of causing various health problems and need to be addressed before folks with chronic illness can become well again. …read the rest of this entry »

Doctors at Mayo Clinic have developed a new field of research called vaccinomics.
They hope to utilize gene testing to find out which patients are most at risk of getting a particular disease and who will benefit from the vaccine. This topic is one of several that will be discussed at the Ninth Annual World Vaccine Congress that will be held April 20-23 in Washington D.C. …read the rest of this entry »

We recently tried out Cherrybrook Kitchen’s Gluten-free Dreams Chocolate Cake Mix. We used a single box mix and it produced 12 standard-sized (2 3/4 inch diameter) cupcakes. The directions on the box were simple and the recipe requires no eggs. We opted to avoid the vanilla extract and go with orange oil instead because our corn-intolerant son reacts to commercially made vanilla extracts. Otherwise we followed the directions on the box. The cupcakes baked for 18 minutes.
We topped our cupcakes with a variation of Better Homes and Gardens’ popular fudge frosting recipe. I halved the original recipe, exchanged the butter for spectrum palm oil, and omitted the vanilla again. My version required more water and I utilized the microwave to get the right consistency.
Our family really enjoyed the cupcakes. The box mix from Cherrybrook Kitchen is a really delicious dark, bittersweet cake, and the frosting is a thick, fudge-like, very sweet but not sticky topping. I personally found the frosting to be a bit sweet for me but the boys unequivocally objected. They thought it was just perfect. We will definitely make this again. …read the rest of this entry »
