Let's Go Mets! Gluten-Free at Citifield
Last year was the grand opening of the new Citifield, home of the New York Mets. I have always enjoyed going to Mets games ever since my dad started taking me in the mid-1908s. There was something nostalgic and comforting about Shea Stadium, but the new Citifield was an exciting addition to an otherwise dreary part of Queens. Upon my second or third game of the season, I found out they served RedBridge gluten-free beer in one of their beer kiosks. This was an exciting addition to the new ballpark.

Today I just read a press release that said there will now be a gluten-free Kozy Shack cart in Citifield serving not only Kozy Shack products but gluten-free hot dogs, buns, and beer!! This is just plain awesome. I can now enjoy more than a bag of peanuts or a Carvel soft serve at a game. Although the Mets didn’t have a great season last year, this is more than enough of a reason to give them a chance.

LET’S GO METS

7th Inning Stretch

It's Amazin! Gluten-Free Eating Goes Mainstream At Citifield
By PR Newswire 03/24/10 - 12:30 PM

HICKSVILLE, N.Y., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Along with the opening pitch at Citifield, the New York Mets home opener marks the beginning of ballpark fare for all consumers – even those afflicted by Celiac disease, thanks to a new gluten-free food cart sponsored by Kozy Shack®.

A partner of the Mets since 2008, and official pudding of the team, all Kozy Shack® puddings and gels are gluten-free and will now be available along with additional food products in a branded gluten-free food cart for easier recognition by fans. The Mets developed the stand-alone cart in response to one of the most common requests from fans, who asked for a gluten-free concession. In addition to Kozy Shack® gluten-free snacks, the cart will also feature hot dogs and hamburgers with gluten-free buns and gluten-free beer. Baseball fans can locate the cart on Field Level in the right field corner, just outside the World's Fare Market.

One look at the buzz on food websites shows that consumers have long known that Kozy Shack® products offer a delicious homemade taste and guilt-free indulgence that supports an active lifestyle. Made with real milk and no preservatives or hydrogenated oils, the Kozy Shack® line of products have always been a perfect snack for those who suffer from Celiac disease and those who are gluten-intolerant.

"Dietary restrictions are a growing concern in the food industry and we have always strived to make our products available to meet all consumer needs and palates," says Kozy Shack® CEO Bob Striano. "We're excited to further our partnership with the Mets and offer fans a designated cart for gluten-free food products. It's a home run for everyone."

A wholesome treat for fans of any age, Kozy Shack® pudding snacks are also sold at concession stands throughout the ballpark as part of the Mets' healthier food offerings which will include more fruits and salads.

Noted as a "Supermarket Gem" by The New York Times , for its ready-to-eat wholesome and delicious taste, Kozy Shack® traditional products meet today's consumer lifestyle. For more than 40 years, Kozy Shack® has been providing the finest-quality, ready-to-eat refrigerated desserts. Packaged for convenience, the products are available in ready-to-serve portions in the dairy cases of food retailers across the country.

Glutino Chocolate-Covered Pretzels are Coming!
This article came across my email over the weekend and I was more than excited to read it. Glutino is now offering chocolate covered pretzels!!! Glutino pretzels are my favorite and I can eat them by the bagful. Chocolate is another favorite of mine. The two are getting married in their own little gluten-free world and I cannot wait to get my hands on a box of these pretzels!!



New Product: "Glutino" Chocolate and Yogurt Covered Gluten Free Pretzels by Glutino Food Group


The Glutino Food Group, a trusted pioneer and leader in the gluten-free food category, announces the addition of new Chocolate-Covered Pretzels and Yogurt-Covered Pretzels to its extensive line of great-tasting gluten-free foods. The new pretzels are an exciting variation of Glutino’s gluten-free pretzels, one of the company’s most loved products.

Made from the best all-natural ingredients, the new Chocolate-Covered Pretzels are covered with premium milk chocolate, and the new Yogurt-Covered Pretzels are coated with the finest yogurt. Both are great choices for a gluten-free snack and perfect for entertaining and sharing with guests.

“Consumers living with Celiac Disease look to Glutino for what is new and innovative in the world of gluten-free products,” said Laura Kuykendall, senior marketing manager for the Glutino Food Group. “Our pretzels have always been a favorite, and now we’ve given people a delicious new way to enjoy them.”

Continental Airlines Discontinuing Gluten-Free Meals!
UPDATE:There is actually a new CEO. Here is the information:

Mr. Jeffery A. Smisek, CEO
jeff.smisek@coair.com

or write to:

Mr. Jeffery A. Smisek, CEO
Continental Airlines
P.O. Box 4607
Houston, Texas 77210-4607
United States

________________________________

I read this in the Suffolk County Celiacs Newsletter today. I encourage you to take action!

Continental is discontinuing gluten-free meals on international flights. We need to all write to the CEO about this problem - please join in writing and make your concerns heard!

Send your e-mail to:
Mr. Larry Kellner, CEO (larry.kellner@coair.com).
You can send the text below or compose your own.

Dear Mr. Kellner,

I understand that Continental is discontinuing offering gluten-free meals on international flights. I really don't understand this new policy. I understand that you are keeping the vegan selection. Vegan is usually a CHOICE. People needing a gluten-free diet do not have a CHOICE - a gluten-free diet is the ONLY treatment for celiac disease.

There are about 2.5 million people with celiac disease in the U.S., 95% of whom have not been diagnosed yet - so the GF "market" is growing. Celiac Disease is a genetic, autoimmune, digestive disorder where gluten damages the surface of the small intestine and promotes inflammation, resulting in malabsorption of nutrients necessary for the whole body.

The bottom line is that for long international flights we need to have safe gluten-free meals available. Security concerns, custom regulations, and suitcase weights disallow food - enough food for both legs of the flight to and back. There are also few safe choices after Security to take gluten-free food onto the plane.

Please re-evaluate this policy in discontinuing the gluten-free meal option. You are creating an awful scenario for celiacs traveling abroad.

Thank you!

Gluten-Free Icing from Betty Crocker
When I went to sleepaway camp in the 90s, my dad would bring me those little vats of icing on parents weekend. That night, my bunkmates and I would be sitting on each other's bunks eating the icing right out of the container. Damn, that was delicious. I would never do that now and barely ever use icing. When I do bake a cake, I usually make my own icing to guarantee its gluten-freeness.

It is great to know that I now have another option, Betty Crocker® Rich and Creamy Frostings and Whipped Frostings. As part of the General Mills gluten-free initiative they have recently added these frostings to their growing gluten-free list of products.

Living Gluten Free Expo Premieres in San Diego
SAN DIEGO - (Business Wire) Restorative Remedies LLC and the National University System Center for Integrative Health will join forces to produce a series of events to call attention to a significant health issue in our country — gluten intolerance and the myriad diseases that can result from this condition. The first public event, “Living Gluten Free Expo,” will be held on March 20, 2010 from 9:00am to 3:30pm at National University’s Spectrum Center campus in San Diego. Conference organizers, acknowledging a growing and widespread interest in gluten intolerance, plan to continue with a series of events throughout California and Nevada.

In July of 2009 a Mayo Clinic sponsored study, using frozen blood samples taken from Air Force recruits between 1948 and 1954, found that intolerance to wheat gluten is four times more common today than it was in the 1950s. The findings contradict the prevailing belief that a sharp increase in diagnoses of wheat gluten intolerance has come about because of greater awareness and detection, and raises questions about whether dramatic changes in the American diet have played a role.

"It's become much more common," said Dr. Andrew Murray, the Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist who led the study. No one knows why, he said, but one reason might be rapid changes in eating habits and food processing over the last half century.

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota who conducted the study also found that the recruits, who had the undiagnosed digestive condition, also had a four-fold increase in the risk of death. According to their study, an estimated 1 out of 100 people suffer from the inherited disorder, though most of the people are unaware they have it. Gluten intolerance can affect a host of health issues including arthritis, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, and celiac disease – the most severe form of gluten intolerance.

The event will feature a combination of informative lectures and a product and services expo where the public can connect with organizations and companies that support gluten-free living. The Expo will provide information, products, and networking opportunities to people who are either living gluten free, facing the need to adjust to a gluten-free lifestyle, or choosing to eliminate gluten from their household for other reasons.

Presentations throughout the day will include:


  • “The Science Behind Gluten Intolerance” — including a follow-up discussion with Dr. Alex Shikhman, and Jacqueline Konstanturos, co-authors of Gluten Nation

  • “Label Reading for Your Health” — with Mary Lyons Collard, RD, contributing author to Gluten Nation

  • “The Gluten Chronicles” — personal stories from people on the front lines of battling gluten in everyday living

  • “Personalized Medicine: A demonstration of new technologies for better diagnosis and treatment” — with Dr. Alex Shikhman

  • “The Best Gluten-Free Recipes Contest” — featuring celebrity judges who will award prizes for the best recipes in several categories: appetizers, breads, entrées, desserts and overall


In addition to the lectures, the Expo will include displays by organizations that support the gluten-free community, as well as companies that offer products and services designed for gluten-sensitive individuals.

Individuals interested in attending the event can purchase their ticket in advance for $10 for General Admission, $25 for VIP Seating and Gift Bag. A gluten-free lunch prepared by the Star of India Restaurant can be purchased for $10, advanced purchase required. The gluten-free recipe contest carries an entry fee of $25, which also covers a general admission ticket. Businesses and non-profit organizations interested in exhibiting should call 858.605.5880 to learn more.

The site of the conference, The National University’s Spectrum campus Center, is located at 9388 Lightwave Ave., San Diego, CA 92123. Call for more information or visit the Living Gluten Free Expo site at www.restorativeremedies.com/expo.

About Gluten Nation

The new book, ‘Gluten Nation’, explores the many ways gluten can wreak havoc in your life if you are sensitive – well over 20 million Americans are gluten sensitive and most do not know it. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. In the world of science and medicine, it is widely known that wheat is the primary cause of celiac disease, a debilitating chronic inflammatory disease affecting the intestine. What is not so widely known is that gluten sensitivity runs a spectrum — only the worst cases becoming celiac disease. This “grain of pain" is a contributing factor in many illnesses, including autoimmune diseases, arthritis, autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder, diabetes, cancer, fibromyalgia and more. To order ‘Gluten Nation’ go to www.restorativeremedies.com or call 877-779-9135.

Looking for Recipes: Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix


I have a huge bag of Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix but I don't have a large mixer or a bread machine. I have made bread from this mix before using a lot of stirring and kneading, but the bread came out feeling like a brick. Does anyone have good recipes that incorporate this Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix but that does not require a stand-up mixer or bread machine! Thanks!!

Gene links to celiac disease may help drug search
LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists have identified new genetic links to celiac disease and say their findings could speed the search for better ways to diagnose and treat the gluten-intolerance disorder.

British researchers scanned the genetic maps of more than 9,400 celiac patients and found areas of immune system disturbance which lead to the development of the auto-immune disease, which affects around one percent of people.
The researchers also found "substantial evidence" that genes associated with celiac disease may also be linked to many other common chronic immune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

"We can now shed light on some of the precise immune disturbances leading to celiac disease," said David van Heel, a professor of gastrointestinal genetics at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, who led an international team of researchers in conducting the study.

Celiac disease is a digestive disorder caused by an abnormal immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley and many other everyday items like medicines and vitamins. The disease damages structures in the lining of the small intestine called villi, impairing the body's absorption of nutrients.
It can lead to severe health problems including anemia, poor bone health, fatigue and weight loss. There is no cure, and the only treatment is a life-long gluten-free diet.

Van Heel said his findings meant scientists could now see that many of the genetic risk factors for celiac disease work by altering the amount of immune system genes made by cells.

"The data also suggests that celiac disease is made up of hundreds of genetic risk factors, we can have a good guess at nearly half of the genetic risk at present," he wrote in the study published in the Nature Genetics journal on Sunday.
