Triumph Dining is quickly becoming a rockstar in our world. We’re currently hearting them because they just launched the first-annual Best of Gluten-Free Awards to select the best gluten-free products on the market. The companies voted The Best Of will be officially thanked, which they SERIOUSLY deserve.

a fascinating gf forum.

If you haven’t signed up yet to attend the upcoming Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Forum, maybe this list of speakers will give you a little nudge where a little nudge is needed:

Dr. Rodney Ford, M.B. B.S. M.D. F.R.A.C.P., A.S.M.,
Dr. Ford is the Director of The Children’s Clinic, in New Zealand. His clinical career has been spent investigating and helping families who have food intolerances and allergies, especially gluten. This year Dr. Ford will give you some of the evidence that gluten can cause gut, skin and neurological harm. He will discuss the issue of who should be gluten-free and how early to start someone on a gluten free diet. He is trying to create global gluten consciousness!
Dr. Vikki Petersen, D.C., C.C.N.,
Dr. Petersen is co-founder, of the HealthNOW Medical Center and co-author of The Gluten Effect. She has been featured on CNN Headline News and in this year’s July issue of Better Homes and Gardens. She is also endorsed by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness & The Gluten Intolerance Group of North America for her contributions to gluten awareness in our country. Dr. Petersen will be speaking about how gluten causes a vast array of hormonal problems and degenerative diseases.
Dr. Tom O’Bryan, D.C., C.C.N.
Dr. O’Bryan is a practicing graduate of the Institute For Functional Medicine’s hallmark program Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice. Using the tools of Applied Kinesiology, Laboratory and Functional Medicine, Dr. O’Bryan assists patients in reclaiming their health with an emphasis on diet and nutrition. He will be presenting data about a brand new highly sensitive test for gluten sensitivity.

ten. ten. ten.

Ten Ten Ten doesn’t come around all that often (October tenth, two thousand ten), so we’re noticing lots of events clamoring for your attention. But if you’re looking for something especially delicious – and especially free – try out the Gluten Free Fair in Benicia. This outdoor event will include 30 gluten-free vendors like Miglets, Jones Dairy Farm, Crave Bakery, Kettle Cuisine, Mariposa, Iamori, Zest Bakery, Bob’s Red Mill, Gluten-Free Living Magazine, Udi’s, and many more! This event should be a lot of fun, and it’s sponsored by some reputable resources, including Celiac Disease Foundation, Solano County Celiacs, North Bay Celiacs, and Sacramento Celiacs.

gluten sensitivity & celiac forum.

Here at The Lab we make an effort to keep on top of what’s new in the gluten-free scene, and sometimes that’s made really easy for us…especially when folks like HealthNOW put together a Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Forum event.

national celiac awareness day.

Since 2006, September 13 has become a celebration of Samuel Gee, who is credited with being the first person to find a link between celiac disease and diet. He once said “if the patient can be cured at all, it must be by means of diet.” Soooo….if ever there were a day to eat as many GF treats as your body desires, today is the day. The Lab is officially declaring it – in addition to National Celiac Awareness Day – GF Amesty Day. Woo!

turn a potato into a donut.

We’re a couple of busy lab techs over here at The Gluten Free Lab. Tomorrow we’re off to Camp Celiac to peddle our newly-arrived cookbook (which looks a-MAZ-ing, by the way. Seriously. You need this in your life.). But to send potato month out with a bang, we’re going to leave you with a very, VERY special recipe – from the cookbook – that is a treat for the tastebuds AND makes use of that leftover baked potato lurking in the back of your fridge. Turning a potato into a donut? That’s my kind of magic.
