Stubb’s Barbeque sauces recently announced that they’ve gotten their full line of sauces certified by the Gluten Free Certification Organization and will start having the seal on their labels on shipments beginning July 1, 2010.

Stubb’s all-natural barbecue sauces are available in Original, Spicy, Mild, Smokey Mesquite, Honey Pecan and Hickory Bourbon. Marinades include Beef, Chicken, Pork, Texas Steakhouse, Moppin’ Sauce and Wing Sauce. All the flavors are gluten free and use cane sugar rather than corn syrup for sweetness.

“The average consumer won’t taste any difference with the gluten-free reformulation, but those who eat gluten free will love our sauces, rubs and marinades as much as our long-time fans,” Koegler said. “Stubb’s is truly a sauce line that everyone can enjoy.”

It’s exciting to see yet another mainstream product take the effort to make their product Gluten Free and go through the certification process.  As always, make sure you buy a few bottles to support their efforts.  Dropping them a line or email doesn’t hurt either!

We heard that a number of the Chex family of cereals were going to be going gluten free, but had yet to actually see any.
Aside from Rice Chex which have been GF for a while now.

As you can see, we finally found some of the Honey Nut Chex that are marked as Gluten Free. They were hiding behind some of the older boxes. Proof that Wal-mart rotates their stock at least.

Having picked them up, we had to give them a try and they are amazing. I hadn’t ever had the original non-gluten free marked boxed ones, so this was my first try of them. They are really quite good. They remind me a bit of frosted corn flakes.

If you happen to find yourself near a Wal-Mart, go and check out the cereal aisle. And don’t forget to check behind the other boxes too! We’ve also noticed that our Wal-Mart is carrying a number of other gluten free items that are just interspersed with the non-gf items in the store. The Wal-Mart generic brand is also very good about labeling their gf items as Gluten Free.

There’s a new magazine on the block for those of us who have to eat Gluten Free (Or those that choose to).  It’s called Delight, Gluten Free.  From the looks of it, it’s going to be published quarterly with recipes and articles.  All for only $14.00 a year.

From the description on their website:

Check out this amazing new magazine! Delight gluten free is a fun food & lifestyle magazine for people with Celiac Disease, gluten intolerance and food allergies. It hosts delicious gourmet recipes and easy semihomemade as well. Don’t miss the Gluten-Free Meals on a Budget either. Whatever your food allergy you should be able to find something that fits your household, in their February issue they offer gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free, soy-free and even some rice-free recipes. Not only that, this magazine has a travel section coming in May that will host lots of fun ideas and good advice for when you venture out on the road. Personal stories, inspiring articles on Autism, Q & A with the Doc are among the other features of this magazine.

Sounds like a pretty good magazine to check out.  As I’m sure you’re aware, it’s hard to find good quality recipes and info.  But it’s getting better!  And magazines like Delight are a great resource for all you Celiacs out there.  You can subscribe by visiting the Delight Website: http://www.delightgfmagazine.com and then just click on the Subscribe Now link.  I’m going to.

Lay’s BBQ flavored chips are no longer gluten free.  They changed the ingredients and added barley malt flour.  Give Lay’s a call and express your “distaste” for this change.

This is a really good reminder that unless the package specifically says “Gluten Free”, you need to check the ingredients.

This week (October 15-19) is Celiac week on CNN! Each morning, they’ll be broadcasting a different segment on Celiac disease and it’s causes, symptoms, and treatments.

The schedule is as follows:

Monday the 15th: What is Celiac Disease?

Tuesday the 16th: Non-Gastrointestinal Complications of Celiac Disease.

Wednesday the 17th: Gluten-Free School Lunches

Thursday the 18th: Hope with Celiac Disease

Friday the 19th: Gluten-Free dining in restaurants

I believe that CNN will be posting the segments online if you can’t/don’t catch them as they are broadcast.  You can do a search of their video for Celiac and find Monday’s “What is Celiac Disease“.   It’s a short two minute teaser, but good to see some press on the subject.  The full segment can be seen at CeliacCentral.

Thanks to a listserv email, it has been confirmed that IHOP adds pancake batter to their eggs before making omelettes.   Because their pancake batter is not Gluten Free, neither are their omelettes.  Please be aware of this if you are dining at any restaurant and double check with your server.  You never know when they might be sneaking in something that contains gluten.

A gluten free medlist has been compiled and updated by the Wheaton Celiac Support Group and can be downloaded at www.napervillegi.com.  Simply visit the site and click on the celiac link to get to the link to download the list.
