My Celiac Blog

Last weekend we put the finishing touches on two new websites designed for people with celiac disease. Celiac Snacks is all about gluten free snack food items and nothing more. Snacks can be an especially challenging food category for people forced to follow a gluten free diet. Celiac Snacks is designed to help. You'll find pages with information about various types of gluten free treats, and the entire site was designed by a person with celiac disease (that's me!).

Our other new website is Gluten Free Pastas. It is devoted exclusively to information about the various brands of gluten free pasta, with information about the most popular brands and the companies behind them. There is a page about each of the largest manufacturers of gluten free pasta, with information about ingredients used which might be very useful if you have other dietary restrictions in addition to avoiding gluten. Visit Gluten Free Pastas to learn more.

Recently I was craving a snack at about the same time I was visiting Amazon.com. When I saw a product called FoodShouldTasteGood Olive I was intrigued by the unique spelling and name.

On a whim I decided to order a case of 24 1-oz bags of these gluten free tortilla chips. They are much like ordinary corn tortilla chips but with powerful olive flavor. If you like the flavor of green or black olives, the chips contain both, chances are you'll like these too. The percentage of broken chips seemed to be less than with most similar products, but more than anything it is the delicious flavor of these chips that led me to order another case this past weekend.

The 1 ounce package size is just right for a mid-afternoon snack, leaving me feeling satisfied until dinner time.

I can attest to the fact that my grumpy tummy did not complain about these chips, so I do believe they are actually gluten free. Here is the list of ingredients: Stone Ground White Corn, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Black Olives, Green Olives, Sugarcane Fiber, Garlic Powder, Sea Salt.
