Gluten-Free Product Review: Jovial Authentic Gourmet Italian Rice
Pasta ($1 Coupon)
by John
Libonati
 When Jovial Foods, Inc. offered us samples of their brand new gluten-free pasta
they claimed had the taste and texture of authentic pasta, we looked
forward to the opportunity to judge for ourselves.
We were pleasantly surprised.
This is an excellent pasta, virtually indistinguishable from
regular pasta in flavor, color, shape and consistency.
The Pasta
We received five different varieties:
Spaghetti, Penne Rigate, Fusilli, Capellini and
Caserecce.

Diet
December 14th,
2010 by Jennifer
Harris
Tis the season for gift giving and for
those of you not familiar with the gluten-free diet this can be a
time of confusion. It can be difficult to give someone on the
gluten-free diet food because some of us avoid additional allergens
and not all gluten-free food is created equal.
This Examiner has created the list below as an aide for
gluten-free gift giving. This Examiner would be happy to get
any of these items as a gift!
1. Subscription(s)
- To a magazine that covers events
regarding the gluten free lifestyle:
- To Clan Thompson’s
Celiac SmartLists, which are a series of programs that make it
easy to find VERIFIED gluten information on thousands of items,
- Zeer Select – for $4.95
monthly subscription fee, you can search to find products by
category, brand, product name or UPC code.

Christmas Gluten-free Lemon Almond Cookie
Recipe
December 14th,
2010 by Amy
Fothergill
 I tend to over think blogging
so my intent is to be short and sweet (good luck to me). Many years
ago, I had a recipe for Lemon Almond Cookies. I had copied it from a
magazine (specifically from Gourmet, Feb 1990) and kept it all of
these years. It is hand written on a recipe card; I added my own
interpretation and instructions. At Christmas, I always made these
delicious, sweet and crisp cookies.
I’m not sure of the last time I made
them but in recent years, with a gluten-free diet, I haven’t even
attempted them. This year, I just couldn’t take it and decided to

Bleeding Complications (Bruising or Hematoma) as
First Sign of Celiac Disease
December 13th,
2010 by Cleo Libonati, RN,
BSN
Editors’ note: This case report
illustrates that a person can live a long time reporting apparent
good health and be completely unaware that they have symptoms of
celiac disease. In this case, hematomas, (which are swollen black
and blue marks caused by a break in the wall of a blood vessel),
that developed on his legs caused the patient to seek medical
attention. The ability of his blood to clot was severely impaired
and yet there was no other manifestation of hemorrhage.

 This Holiday Season I am
especially thankful for the health I now enjoy… it’s been a long
journey these past 10 years or so…but I am so thankful for the
knowledge I’ve gained about living a Gluten-Free lifestyle…the
benefits that have come from it, and that after 10 years, I can
finally say that I feel like “me” again. 
I’ve never really shared my
entire experience, and normally don’t write posts that are too
personal… but perhaps this can help someone out there who is
wondering if they might have Gluten Intolerance or Celiac Disease…
or someone who has been diagnosed and wonders if it is really
a “big deal” if they HAVE to go gluten-free or not. I can tell you
from personal experience that it WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!! It changed
mine… and here’s how: It all started back in junior high and
high school. I just felt “tired” all the time. I can’t even tell you
how many times a day someone would come up to me and say, “What’s
wrong? You look tired.” I even remember someone saying to me once,
“You look dead.” (ouch!) It seemed like maybe I was just depressed

Understanding and Treating Selenium Deficiency in
Celiac Disease
December 7th,
2010 by Cleo Libonati, RN,
BSN
 Selenium is a trace mineral
required for good health. We should not be complacent about the
small amount of this essential nutrient needed because not having
enough of it has serious consequences.
Selenium is required for antioxidant
protection, DNA repair, thyroid hormone activation, immune system
enhancement, production of prostaglandins, muscle function and
protection against cancer.

The
History of Celiac Disease
November 29th,
2010 by John
Libonati
The earliest description of
celiac disease was recorded in the second century A.D. In 1888
Samuel Gee published a monograph on celiac disease that “to regulate
the food is the main part of treatment … The allowance of
farinaceous foods must be small … but if the patient can be cured at
all, it must be by means of diet.”
In the early 1900’s a carbohydrate
restricted diet was advocated where the only carbohydrates allowed
were ripe bananas and rice.
Then in the 1950’s Dr. W. K. Dicke published work reporting that
celiac children improved dramatically during World War II when

Gluten
Free Macaroni and Cheese Recipe
November 29th,
2010 by Amy
Fothergill
 If you think being on a gluten
free diet means never eating some of your favorite foods, think
again. There has been an explosion of gluten free products over the
past few years so become familiar with the brands that work for
you. Bionaturae has many options for pasta like elbows,
spaghetti and penne rigate.
Here are important tips to cooking good
gluten free pasta:
- Make sure there is plenty of water
when boiling.
- Add salt to the boiling water.
- Start testing the pasta 1
minute before the recommended time. If it’s not
done, test in 1 minute intervals.
- Don’t over mix or over cook gluten
free pasta; it will fall apart.
The key to a satisfying
macaroni and cheese is learning to make a good cheese sauce. By
making a few adjustments from a traditional recipe, you’ll soon be
in business.

Free Soapbox: We Are Not Crazy!

 As we approach Thanksgiving, I
encourage you to spend a little time each day reflecting on what you
are thankful for.
It’s easy to get caught up in our life
challenges and to start focusing on unfairness and negativity.
We often discount the positive and over analyze and give importance
to the negative. Even when struggling with life’s challenges,
