One of the key elements to finding your groove as a celiac is finding safe foods to eat. I mean really,
- Who can you trust?
- What restaurants can you go to?
- What foods can you buy in the store?
In a perfect world we would all eat whole foods and shop the ‘outside isles of the stores’. But my reality is I have 4 kids and a husband to feed all while working part-time out of the house and working 3 businesses from my home. So, no I can not make everything from scratch. I truly believe we need balance in life. Even balance in our food. And I try my best to do just that.
So back to my questions… really what foods can we trust? This is what I wanted to get to the bottom of. So many companies label their food as Gluten Free, but truly they are not safe for a celiac. The FDA states:
But then I asked myself… okay that’s great, but who is regulating these standards and how can I truly test the honesty and integrity of a brand? For years, I have been searching for answers… and I finally have found answers as I have gone straight to a reputable source. After you listen to this podcast with Chris Rich, who is the VP of Marketing & Development at the Gluten Intolerance Group, I believe you will find the same peace and assurance that I have.
I can now, confidently say that I trust the Certified Gluten Free Label from the Gluten Intolerance Group!
With thousands of products, and all items less than 10 ppm, I truly trust in the organization GIG/ GFCO. Click here to see their most up to date list of certified gluten free items and brands.
AAAAND they are now certifying Restaraunts!! This is such awesome news! To view the list of safe restaurants in your area click here. Remember, this is a newer certification process, so be patient if there aren’t any near year… hopefully very soon there will be thousands!
One of my favorite things that I learned in this interview, is that the majority of the staff either have celiac disease themselves or have first degree relatives. They are not looking for more transactions, they are looking to certify more brands that they themselves can trust to eat as well. Doesn’t that make a difference to you? It sure does to me!
