So Domino’s has started offering gluten free pizzas in their stores today.  This sounds like great news..atleast I thought so when I first read it.  Problem is….Domino’s doesn’t guarantee that the pizza will be gluten free.  They say the ingredients are gluten free, but they can’t guarantee that it will be 100% gluten free, due to the non-gluten free flours etc that are used in the store.  So, they tell people with celiac disease, to stay away from it.  So maybe you all can help me understand this…WHAT IS THE POINT THEN?

Don’t get me wrong…I am very happy that they are making this step and that restauarants are becoming more aware of the gluten free need…but if they are going to offer something gluten free…then why is it not guaranteed gluten free?

Domino’s statement:

“Domino’s and the NFCA found that while the crust is certified as gluten free, current store operations at Domino’s cannot guarantee that each handcrafted pizza will be completely free from gluten,” the company’s news release said.

Is this just a disclaimer?  If so, I can understand that…they don’t want to get sued when one of the stores mess up and contaminate it.  But most restaurants have disclaimers about their gluten free menus.  The problem I have with this is the way they are stating it.  They are telling us that it’s ok for people with gluten intolerance, but not celiac disease.  People with gluten intolerance can get just as sick as people with celiac disease.  Also, it makes me feel that they are telling the individual store owners that it’s ok if it gets contaminated, because “they don’t guarantee it’s gluten free”.  That bothers me.

Let me know what you think about this…will you try the pizza?

Wellesse sent me quite a few of their liquid vitamins to review for them.  All I can say is WOW!  They were awesome!

They offer many different supplements….calcium with vitamin, Iron, Vitamin D, B complex, B12, Multi Vitamin, Digestive Health and Glucosamine.  I tried them all.  I will warn you…they don’t taste like kool-aid…but they don’t taste like medicine either.  After you take them for a few days, the taste grows on you…so it’s well worth it.  My husband and I both tried these vitamins and we both loved them.

As we know, people with celiac have problems digesting anything…and that includes vitamins.  I know many people who don’t take vitamins, just because the vitamins upset their stomach.  Well here is your answer…  liquid vitamins, they don’t upset your stomach and they are super easy for you to digest.  They also get into your system faster, so you feel the effects a lot quicker. You can also add them to your juice, water or smoothie if you don’t want to take them direct.

I have been checking out liquid vitamins for a long time, and I never did come across any that I thought were any good and worth talking about…these…are worth talking about.  The have a awesome range of supplements…and they are all the supplements that people with celiac or a gluten intolerance will need.

Here’s a little information about the company:

Here is some information about the book:

“Are you gluten intolerant or have celiac disease? Are you on a gluten-free diet but still have no energy and don’t feel well? Elizabeth Smith’s book the Celiac Diet can help you!”

“Elizabeth Smith has been dealing with celiac disease her entire life and wasn’t diagnosed until she was thirty years old. After she started her gluten-free diet and went through numerous other illnesses linked to celiac, she went back to school and got a certificate in nutrition and weight management. She took everything she learned and put it to a test. But come to find out, there are so many other things other than not eating gluten that need to be taken into consideration.”

“Now Elizabeth feels great and has tons of energy and wants to tell everyone else how she did it, starting with The Celiac Diet.”

As always…after you read the book, come back and let me know what you thought of it!
