Gluten-Free Living the National Magazine for People with Celiac Disease Announces the Spring 2005 Issue
Gluten-Free Living is a magazine written for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Gluten-Free Living has a ten year history of success, and wants to expand its reach through our new distributor, OneSource Magazine Distribution. We are announcing our Spring issue, which has a bold new look and exciting topics.
(PRWEB) May 10, 2005 -- Gluten-Free Living, the most reliable source of
information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet, has published a
landmark Spring issue. With a new, exciting look and availability on selected
newsstands across the county, the publication is visual evidence of the growing
influence of the gluten-free segment of the population.
Gluten-Free Living has a ten-year history of outstanding research and
writing in all areas pertaining to celiac disease. This issue features an
article on cheese, whether or not it is gluten free, and the possibility that
blue cheese, particularly, might be dangerous. The dangers in spelt, a
derivation of wheat, are emphasized in another story. A very important article
outlines follow-up care for those diagnosed with celiac
disease.
“Read it or weep,” uses a personal story to
emphasize how easy it is to fall into the trap of not reading food labels.
“Allison ambushed by spelt,” teaches a lesson to everyone who follows the
gluten-free diet. In “Catch this recipe for GF beer-battered fish,” the first
article in a new “Recipes Reinvented” section, a forbidden dish is turned into a
gluten-free delight. Then there’s recent news and information, product details,
an extensive list of gluten-free vendors and more.
Gluten-Free Living is the only magazine published specifically for those who
have celiac disease and follow the gluten-free diet. Celiac disease is an
autoimmune problem that results in a sensitivity to gluten, a protein found in
wheat, rye and barley. The patient is “cured” by following a gluten-free diet, a
particularly challenging method of eating.
Ann Whelan,
founder and editor, has celiac disease and has been an outspoken advocate for
people with celiac disease. She has spoken to groups across the country sharing
her expertise on ingredients containing gluten and her practical knowledge of
living with celiac disease. She is currently serving on the Celiac Disease Task
Force with the leading medical professionals in the field. The Celiac Disease
Task Force has successfully lobbied Washington lawmakers for tougher food
laws.
Amy Ratner, associate editor, has a child with
celiac disease and has helped eliminate food myths – like the possibility of
gluten in vinegar. There is no gluten in vinegar, except malt vinegar, yet newly
diagnosed celiacs receive misinformation on a regular basis. Amy has covered
many angles of raising a celiac child, from bat mitzvah to birthday parties,
Holy Communion, peer pressure and sleep-away camp! Contributing editors include
dietitians and doctors who focus on celiac disease.
Practical information is available on the website
as well as back and a starter kit for newly diagnosed celiac. For more
