Gluten Free With Mickey and Minnie

So we’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World in November.  We really cannot wait, as our two daughters, aged 5 and 3, are probably at perfect ages.  They live, eat, and sleep Disney Princesses.  We will use a travel agency, Small World Vacations, since we never went before and wanted as little pressure in [...]

Hardee’s Update

I recently checked Hardee’s website for their gluten free offerings.  About seven months ago, the Cel-Kids blog reviewed their new ‘Gluten Free offerings’ (http://www.raleighcelkids.com/?s=hardees).  At the time, the fine print definitely stood out as less than helpful.  I checked again recently, and found they changed their wording somewhat, to ‘Gluten Sensitive,’ still with that rather [...]

Travelling By Air With Celiac, Part 1–RDU Terminal 1

My oldest daughter and I recently flew to Pittsburgh from Raleigh for a marathon.  As we relaxed at the RDU Terminal 1, I began to wonder what food establishments served gluten free items, if any at all.  When we travel by car, we know we can get some fries at a Chick-Fil-A, a milkshake at [...]

NC FACES

We mentioned the food allergy awareness and safety group we met at the recent Gluten Free Fair at Whole Foods.  We wanted to share this information, as it definitely pertains to our Cel-Kids group, and all Celiac sufferers, especially those in North Carolina.  In a recent post, (http://www.raleighcelkids.com/?p=588) we shared our frustration with labeling and [...]
