A large reason why the Raleigh Cel-Kids helps parents is the sharing of information. At our most recent event, I talked with some parents, discussing various products. One mentioned finding Snyder’s gluten free pretzels at Whole Foods. Yes, the mainstream pretzel/chip manufacturer. For a Celiac family, this represented huge news. While we love the Glutino [...]
Yup, it’s that time. Time parents love and kids don’t. Back to school. With a Celiac, that can pose difficult, but with some planning, you can make it through smoothly. Recently, Jules Shepard from JulesGlutenFree.com sent a free Back to School Guide offer. The guide contains lots of great information including how to approach teachers, [...]
Now for Year Round and Later (just a month) for Traditional schedules here in Wake County. With our oldest starting kindergarten, we wanted to share our experiences so far. We definitely came a long way with Celiac since she was diagnosed four years ago. Celiac Disease definitely entered the main stream in that time, with [...]
From the makes of the popular KinniKinnick flours, KinniKritter gluten free animal cookies provide another option for school lunches, snacks in the car, and a variety of baking options. We found these cookies two places so far, Whole Foods and Harmony Foods (see Raleigh Cel-Kids Google Map for locations). This brings another brand of [...]
We are starting to see some usage of our Facebook page! That is the intention–a place for all the parents to share things they find, news they have heard, and everything about raising Celiac Kids. To use the Facebook: Click the Large Blue F on our page (or you can just search for Raleigh Cel [...]

Fruitables, by Apple & Eve, come in small juice boxes and combine a variety of fruits and vegetables that contain less sugar than the average juice. Definitely a good thing! We recently packed a [...]
**Correction** Mrs. May’s products can be found at BJs, and not Trader Joes Trader Joe’s, as we reviewed in a previous post (http://www.raleighcelkids.com/?p=512) stocks many great gluten-free products. We really like their granola, and we found yet another yummy, versatile treat: Mrs. May’s fruit clusters. The clusters, about an inch by an inch, come in [...]
We are familiar with Ian’s brand frozen fish sticks (http://www.raleighcelkids.com/?s=ian’s). The girls actually really like them, and while not a 100% healthy meal, there is fish in there somewhere, so we’re happy. Recently at Earth Fare, we found Ian’s brand Cookie Buttons. I like how Ian’s brand stands out with their bright yellow and black [...]
After the recent Gluten Free Fair at Whole Foods, we stocked up on a variety of different gf items. We picked up another box of S’moreables gf graham crackers. S’morables, made by the bread mix company kinnikinnick, provide Celiacs with a good tasting, good textured graham cracker for smores or for any other reason. As [...]
