Carol Kicinski of Simply Gluten Free Magazine Faces Federal Charges for Jan. 6, 2021 Storming of Capitol

Go ahead and quit supporting the magazine. Your fight for gluten-free information and products, just got smaller. If I stopped buying from companies I didn’t agree with politically I would have a list as long as my arm. Give me a break people. Celiac.com reaches out to products that are sponsors and they are now all informed of her crimes so now this magazine will likely tank or have to fire her and rebrand if they have a board. Good job buddy. I hope you all know this is called cancel culture. I didn’t agree with storming the capital but there is so much at play with this whole situation that we can’t possibly understand. It’s all a show and we are just pawns. I don’t subscribe to this magazine because I didn’t know about it so thanks for letting me know, I’ll likely look at getting a subscription now. 

Sorry my post went as a quote under awol cast iron stomach and it was supposed to be a general statement, not directed specifically to one person. 

KEY WORD:ALLEGED 

Celiac.com will continue covering this and other stories that are relevant to the celiac disease community, and will follow this article up with any future news on the disposition of this case.

Celiac.com covers relevant news about issues related to celiac disease and gluten-free food and living. To date, we have not covered news of the January 6th riots at the Capitol, simply because doing so without any relevant celiac disease or gluten-free angle would not be in keeping with our mission.

However, the fact that the publisher of the largest gluten-free magazine in circulation is facing multiple criminal charges for her involvement is definitely relevant, and newsworthy, to the celiac and gluten-free community. 

Thank you!  I do like to know where my money is going towards!

This is the laziest reporting ever. No reaching out to the company to find out real data. I talked to them and she doesn't even run the company anymore. And why are politics bringing brought up when we're here for food advice. This is a bad mark on you all. I'd get it sorted asap and get your reporting correct.

Adams did not say she ran the company. He said she was the entrepreneur and the owner of it. As with many companies, the one who started it and still owns it, turns the "running" over to others at some point in time.

I appreciate being informed of this so I can make an informed decision on who and what I support. I'm all for freedom of expression but I will not support anyone that participated in that event.

Thank you for providing the information so I can make that choice.

I feel the same way.  I will not support anyone who undermines our democracy.

Does not own it either. Still bad reporting! Lazy and horrible what you are doing. Trying to gather some viewership by this. gross conduct from a supposed news source on Celiac topics. A real shame. Some sort of fact checking would have been good.

Rob, Celiac.com has been around for almost 30 years. It is not a new source of Celiac topics.

I agree with the decision by celiac.com and Jefferson Adams to make this information available.  I will 100% not support anyone who was involved in the capitol insurrection.  Due to the deliberate divisiveness of the former administration, where one stands politically is all important in today's increasingly authoritarian world.  Those who love democracy have to be vigilant in all arenas.  I'm celiac and can easily get my information from the hundreds of non traitorous sources.

Celiac.com did verify that Open Original Shared Link via a Florida corporation search, so you are not correct about her not being the owner. Feel free to click the link to see the documents yourself.

Thanks for the link and for being a solid source of info for people with Celiac. You were my first information stop when I was diagnosed in 2003 and you’ve been a mainstay since.
