My Celiac Blog

We are in the business of creating websites, so we do. Many of our websites are designed to provide support for people affected by celiac disease, this includes our two latest additions.

   Gluten Free Finds
Gluten Free Finds is a gluten free food shopping site organized according to different types of gluten free food, like pasta, bread mix, etc. We think it is attractive and easy to use. In creating Gluten Free Finds we looked at which products in each category of gluten free food are most popular, and we have configured this site to show you the top selling gluten free items in each category first. We hope you will find it useful and pleasant to look at too.

    Gluten Free Brands
Gluten Free Brands has been designed to show you lists of gluten free food items sorted by brand name, it lists a number of well known and popular brands of gluten free food, then lets you see the most popular products for each brand. There are some similarities in the software used for these two new websites, each is based on the widely used Wordpress blogging platform, and each is heavily customized for gluten free food shopping.

Please feel free to comment here about either or both of these two new gluten free food shopping sites, we appreciate all feedback. We'll keep building new sites if you'll keep stopping by.

Thanks

Recently I discovered a gluten-free, vegan imitation mayonnaise product that comes in a handy squeeze bottle designed to be stored upside down like those cool Heinz ketchup squeeze bottles. This idea appealed to me because it involves inherent protection against cross contamination that might be caused by people using a knife to spread mayo on a slice of ordinary wheat-bearing danger bread.

I like the flavor and consistency quite a bit. It is very similar to Vegenaise, but perhaps slightly sweeter. We discovered Mayola for sale on Amazon. It is made in the UK and prominently labeled as gluten free. Below are some photos of the product and a tomato sandwich I made using Ener-G rice bread.

I quite like Mayola and will be buying more once this 6-pack runs out. I even use a little bit of it in a sauces for a stir fry sometimes. I'd give it 4 or 5 stars.

Recently I noticed a new ready to heat item offered at Amazon, a new product from Tasty Bite. Tasty Bite offers ready made foods from India. I've often used their products in the past because I like curry and other types of Indian cooking. They have always indicated which of their items are vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten free. Since this item is both vegan and gluten free it meets my requirements. Best of all it is delicious. This is not a very spicy product, in fact some might say it is not spicy at all. But the spinach and potatoes do come through (Aloo means potatoes and Palak means spinach). It immediately became my favorite Tasty Bite item.

Previous products from Tasty Bite came in a foil lined pouch that could not be put in a microwave oven, this new product is in a plastic pouch and it comes out just right after 60 seconds in our average-powered (1KW) microwave oven.

As with all other ready to heat meals of this genre, I always have mine over a half bowl of rice, and this product goes very well with rice. It gives me Happy Tummy and it tastes good too. I'd give it 4 stars, it could get one more if it was a little bit spicier.

I was hankering for a delicious gluten free and vegan snack about a week ago when I looked at the Amazon Daily Deals page and saw Prana Organic BarCashew Almond on a sale that reduced their cost to about a dollar each. Since I'm a cheapskate with virtually no income these days (I paid $40 taxes last year) I thought I might give these a try.

They are absolutely delicious, wonderful, a delight in every way. The bars are made primarily of date paste in much the same way as Larabars (which are also OK) but the percentage of delicious tasty nuts in these bars is much higher than in Larabars. Perhaps this accounts for the fact that they do cost a little bit more.

After eating one of these for my mid-afternoon snack it was not at all unpleasant to wait until 6:30PM for dinner. And when you do eat one of these truly delicious bars you really do get the sensation that you just ate something nice.

They are clearly gluten free and vegan, but if you are allergic to tree nuts run away!

I'll certainly be buying more of thes in the future. I give them 5 stars.
