Good Morning
I do not know if you have seen it in most of the Giant Food Stores but Udi's has a new more Nutritious gluten free bread
It is called Udi's Omega Flax and Fiber Bread.
This bread is really very good and it has 6 grams of fiber per serving which is 2 slices.
The bread is soft but at the same time has a nice nutty flavor it is really good and great for you and
this gluten free bread does hold up in a sandwich .
I do not have to toast the bread to have it soft and I usually leave it in the refrigerator.
Their new bread has a a purple and golden color packaging, the bread is the size of most gluten free breads are but it is well worth it .
The difference is this gluten free bread is more filling then most gluten free breads.
Most times when I have had a sandwich using gluten free breads after wards I am still hungry for another sandwich, I do not make another one that would be too many calories for me . I do what the nutritionist say and wait about twenty minutes for the brain to know it has enough but with other gluten free breads I am still hungry but with this bread I am not . I am well satisfied.
It has also helped my blood sugars out , I do not need as much insulin when I use this bread which is always nice.
I did ask a representative for Udi's if they could make a gluten free bread even use this one the size of a bread that is made out of gluten like your wheat filled breads.
They said that they are reluctant to do that because if they did the cost would probably be a little bit more then twice the cost of the loaves of gluten bread are now.
Udi's Gluten Free Omega Flax and Fiber bread has 150 calories for their serving of two slices and 50 calories from fat
It has 22 grams of Carbohydrate , 6 grams of fiber , 3 grams of sugar and 6 grams of protein.
Udi's mission is to eat well and smile often this is on their packaging and it also has on their packaging our mission is to show you a new way to approach gluten free living. Udi's sources natural ingredients to make a delicious products that will fill your stomach and warm your soul
I love love this bread I am always sorry when the bread is gone and I have to go back to the store to get more
This bread is a winner in taste, quality and great nutrition especially if you are a Celiac having Diabetes and other conditions that you need more fiber in your diet
Thank you

NARDOS NATURAL SKIN CARE
12/22/2012
Nardos Natural Skin Care is run by a family of brothers from our area but business is in Florida.
I found this company when they were spotted on the show Shark Tank
I was very impressed with what they had to say about their products. and I hoped that someone would pick them up to support them and it finally happened. The Shark Tank Barbara picked them up to help give them the support they needed
Their products are all natural , organic, and gluten free they are superb. Their face cream makes my skin feel alive and well nourished.
I love their soap it is super moisturizing, I even used the soap as a hair wash and it came out beautifully
I just rubbed between my hands a pea size of coconut oil when my hair was three quarters the way dry and it was shinny, full of body and bounce with no reactions.
I also love the fact that Nardos has a sample pack with about 5 different products in it for $9.99 plus tax. I love this you can sample it and find out for yourself how great these products are
Their face cream is to die for it left my face feeling soft and made my complexion look like it erased about ten years .
The sample pack has a Face Cream, Toner, Lip Balm, Body Lotion and a Face Cleanser and Exfoliate
Their website is www.nardosnatural.com and their telephone number is 1 813 400 3687
Your skin will thank you for trying out these products I saw results immediately I hope you will too
I do not work for this company but boy do I wish I did their products are worth their weight in gold
Thank you

NEW GLUTEN FREE BREAD THAT IN A WORD IS FANTASTIC
12/19/2012
First of all before I put this post in about the new gluten free bread I found I want to apologize for not blogging for a bit
My husband has been very sick so I had to take some time off to get him back into the swing of things.
This bread company is called Silver Hills Bakery. They have two flavors Silver Hills Omega Flax Gluten Free bread and Silver Hills Chia Chia Gluten free bread.
I was surprised but I liked the Chia Chia Bread the best.
This bread is particularly good for Diabetics it has 5 grams of fiber per slice 70 calories 1 gram of fat and very little sugar it is also Dairy free and Vegan
It also has 2 grams of protein to it so it really packs on a mean punch in the nutritional side of breads.
This to me is outstanding you get a bread that taste great and is gluten free and the best part it is actually good for you
It is a great way to start your day with a power house of goodness in each slice not the usual 5 grams for two slices of bread but 5 grams of fiber for 1 slice of bread so you are just elevated your body to greatness with eating this bread, as they say it is what the doctor ordered
What I particularity like about this bread is that there is no rice flour in it so with all the controversy about
eating rice products right now you do not have to worry.
This bread is not in our area as of yet but it will be soon so start talking to your grocery stores about getting this bread in now so that when they do start shipping to this area you will be one of the first to try it out
The website is www.silverhillsbakery.ca their telephone number is 1 604 850 5600 and their email address is info@silverhillsbakery.ca

SIMPLY GLUTEN FREE MAGAZINE
10/28/2012
There is a new gluten free magazine that just came out that is out of this world,.
It is called Simply Gluten Free
I just received my first issue and love it
I think the website is www.simplyglutenfreemag.comThe first premiere issue has information on the holiday recipes and information on updates on Celiac Disease
The premiere issue also has some articles on gluten free make up the Paleo Diet a Gluten Free Vegetarian diet
The one article that I really loved was on page 11 which was an article on a new device called EZGluten which yo can detect gluten in a food or drink by a testing kit that actually meaures if there is gluten in a food or drink
It comes with a full test with instructions and everything except the food or drink that you want to know if it has gluten in it
You only need a tiny bit of food or drink to put in the test tube the size of a a finger tip full of crumbs from the food you want to know about or the drink you want to know about
The test will tell you if there is no gluten in it or if it is positive for gluten or if it has a very high positive level of gluten in it
The website is www.ezgluten.com. I think this is great you can easily check in abut 10 minutes if a food has gluten in it without having to eat it and without having to be exposed to gluten and get sick
This magazine has everything in it for the holidays and everything you need to help you out with your gluten free diet and help to control your disease.

GROCERY BOUGHT HAND DISH DETERGENTS MAY CONTAIN GLUTEN
10/27/2012
I was very sick this week at first I thought I caught a stomach bug but then I realized it was gluten exposure
I went through the checklist of what I had eaten for the day, and I could not figure out what I had eaten that would have made me sick
Then I went through did I do or use anything new this week then it dawned on me I bought some hand dish detergent at Giant Food Stores ( the Ajax Hand dish washing soap ) ) . I went online to see if gluten could be in dish detergents and yes it can be
I usually use an organic dish detergent made by Shaklee but I was trying to cut back on expenses so I thought I would by a regular hand detergent.
I decided to call the manufacturer to find out if there was gluten in Ajax or Palmolive Antibacterial hand dish soap.
The representative said we can not say yes and we can not say no, she did say that they do not put any gluten in the product when it comes to their plant but there are several ingredients in the formula to make up the detergent . They do not know where they come from or if there is gluten in them before they come to the plant they are made up before they come to the plant then they finish making the product at the plant.
The representative did say if I were you I would say yes there could have been gluten in the product with the symptoms that you encountered and I would not use the product any more.
I wanted to let you all know that this is a possibility that gluten may be in every day store bought hand dish washing detergents.
I further noticed that there was no list of ingredients on the bottle of the dish washing detergent so I asked the representative about that there was no ingredients on the bottle. The representative said since the dish washing detergent is not a drug and you do not consume it by law they do not have to list their ingredients on the product . I find this appalling how are you supposed to know what is in the product . They have several things on the bottle just not the ingredients which says something, they do not want yo to know what is in their product.

DEXCOM G4 CONTINUOUS BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITORING METER
The Dexcom G4 Continous Blood Glucose Monitoring Meter has just been approved by the FDA for Diabetics to control their Diabetes Blood Glucose levels
I have the Dexcom 7 and absolutely love it, which is their first meter . It takes readings of my blood sugars every 5 minutes and stores them. My doctor and I set up when I received the device what my high level blood sugar that he would prefer I do not go over and what would be a safe low level . If I go over or under the recommendations by my doctor for my blood sugars an alarm goes off telling me that I need to adjust my insulin for a high level result or to take sugar to control a low level result before it becomes way out of range and a medical concern.
I love this device because you set the system to levels that are high or low but they are not way out of range so that you are still in control of your disease. If you are like me I have no feeling when my blood sugars rise or drop so this system is outstanding it wakes me up when I am sleeping to let me know when my blood sugars are out of range.
The new Dexcom G4 is even better it gives you 20 feet instead of 5 feet to be away from the system it even has increased accuracy
It is lighter and smaller and comes in three different colors black Magenta pink and col bolt blue
To get in touch with a Dexcom Representative all you have to call is 1 877 339 2664 they will have on a prompt to speak with a Representative for new orders and they also have a 24 hour Representative on call for when you need help with your system
If you do not need a 24 hour Representative for help with your system the hours of operation are 6 AM until 5 PM Pacific time Monday thru Friday
I think the website is www.dexcom.com
