Free Food Savings with Mixes From the Heartland’s New Buying

Teri Whisenhunt, the owner of Mixes From The Heartland and a celiac herself, says her goal is to provide people high quality, affordable gluten-free foods.

Magnesium keeps us moving, thinking and behaving normally. Magnesium is a cofactor for more than 300 enzymes involved in the metabolism of food components and many products such as protein synthesis. It balances calcium in the body to maintain normal muscle and nerve function and works in concert with calcium to keep bones strong. It keeps heart rhythm steady and supports a healthy immune system. Magnesium is required for parathyroid hormone secretion, helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes normal blood pressure.1 Studies show that magnesium deficiency is common in those with celiac disease.

THE CELIAC ICEBERG Celiac disease (CD) was once considered an extremely rare affliction, limited to individuals of European origin. Today, however, a growing number of studies indicate that celiac disease is found throughout the US at a rate of up to 1 in every 133 persons, which is several orders of magnitude higher than previously estimated. (more…) The Dark Side of Wheat: New Perspectives on Celiac Disease & Wheat Intolerance Part 2 of 3
In a previous article, I discussed the role that wheat plays as an industrial adhesive (e.g. paints, paper mache’, and book binding-glue) in order to illustrate the point that it may not be such a good thing for us to eat. The problem is implicit in the word gluten, which literally means “glue” in Latin and in words like pastry and pasta, which derives from wheatpaste, the original concoction of wheat flour and water which made such good plaster in ancient times. What gives gluten its adhesive and difficult-to-digest qualities are the high levels of disulfide bonds it contains. These same sulfur-to-sulfur bonds are found in hair and vulcanized rubber products, which we all know are difficult to decompose and are responsible for the sulfurous odor they give off when burned. There will be 676 million metric tons of wheat produced this year alone, making it the primary cereal of temperate regions and third most prolific cereal grass on the planet.

Infertility, Pre-term Birth and Miscarriage All Linked to Gluten Intolerance Editor's Note: The malabsorption

Dear Friend, For the past three years, I have met with HMOs, pharmaceutical companies, politicians, doctors, dietitians, celiac support groups, and patients across the United States. One thing is abundantly clear. Doctors are not recognizing celiac disease and do not realize how little they know about the disorder. In 2004, the National Institutes of Health called for education of physicians and other healthcare providers about celiac disease. To date, few efforts have been undertaken and none has succeeded. The result is missed diagnoses, inadequate follow-up, unnecessary surgeries, improperly prescribed medications and needless pain. During my presentations, I meet many people who think they are receiving good treatment and cannot understand why no one has told them their persisting symptoms are due to simple nutrient deficiencies.

Marshmallows remind many of us of our
childhood – whether it was roasting them by the fire or adding them

Raw Revolution foods are a line of
organic live food bars that are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free,
and corn-free — perfect for the allergic consumer. The bars
are also vegan, and free of trans-fats and refined sugar. Because they are allergen-free and full of nourishing and
satisfying ingredients like cashews, coconut, hazelnuts, raisins,
raspberries, mango, dates, flax seeds, and almonds, these bars are
filling and able to fuel the body — especially for athletes and
people on the go. 
Not long ago, I realized that one of
my very favorite all-time restaurants is actually known for being
gluten-free! I never realized this before since I just loved going
there, because they serve my ultimate comfort food, risotto. That
was what mattered to me. If there was only one meal I could eat for
the rest of my life, it would risotto, and Risotteria in New York
City has always been a stop whenever I am in town. Risotteria opened
in early 1999, and has been a popular stop for gluten-free diners
and fans of good food alike, for over a decade.
I reported this week on a new iPHONE
application, My Grocery Master, which allows users to locate
gluten-free foods and brands according to zip code. The application
claimed to not only allow users to locate gluten-free and
lactose-free food items in popular grocery stores nationwide, but it
also claimed to help users locate the product via detailed driving
directions, all for an annual fee of $4.99.
