Gluten Free Goodie Swap

Our Meetup/Celiac group had a gluten free cookie/goodie swap on Sat. and it was so much fun! All the goodies were great - one member brought multiple things and she could open a gluten free dessert business if she wanted to! There is a company in Atlanta that sells gluten free entrees and she brought some of her meals for us to try as well. Shrimp and grits to die for! I'm busy now but I'll post her contact info later today.

Since this group usually meets at a restaurant we needed a place that would allow us to bring our own food in. One of our members knew of such a place - a coffee house in downtown Norcross. We took over the entire space - all 6 tables and the owner seemed fine with it. We has a much larger turn out than expected. I highly suggest other support groups try a gluten-free goodie swap either this year or in the future. I'm sure our event will become an annual tradition.

I know exactly what you mean ...

Our celiac support group had their annual pot luck dinner on Sunday. If it weren't for these people I would never have realized how good gluten free food could be. :P And their bread is actually normal looking.

It's great hanging out with a bunch of people who are all into the same foods and not poopoo ing what your are eating too ...

At our February mtg, we are all tasting the latest gluten free beers. :D:D Marcia

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
