Nutty for Nuts.com’s Gluten-Free Snacks!!

In the last three years since going gluten-free, I’ve missed nuts. I don’t know why but I have a reaction to most commercial brands of nuts (every single time I would hear of a Celiac who can eat some brand of peanut – like Planters – I would get really excited that I’d go try [...]

And now that we’re here in Cape Cod, the chain restaurants are few and far in between. [...]

I’ve always wondered if there is a difference in severity of symptoms based on the amount of gluten ingested. Like, if I ever dared to eat a roll or a whole slice of pizza or something, would I get the same symptoms with the same severity as if I accidentally ingested a tiny bit of [...]

Beware the Hair!!

After two and a half years of leading a very strict gluten-free lifestyle, I really thought that I had completely eliminated all traces of gluten from my daily food and beauty regimen. Wrong!!
