Yes my products are here and they are awesome!!!!! And yes the shipping price stinks! If I could ship it for free I would, unfortunately that’s not the case. We have done our very best to get the lowest prices possible and we are hoping still, to get even lower prices in the near future. If you can swing the price of shipping I advise you to order more than one bag so its more cost efficient for you. You also will have enough mix for when you run out of from baking up all your favorite treats.
A few things I also want to make clear about the products and ordering:
We can not ship outside the US at this time. I’m hopeful it will be soon though.
GMO free? With all the lying about which products have GMOs and which don’t, I do not feel comfortable saying that these products are 100% GMO free. I absolutely set out for that to be the case, as I feel GMOs are a main reason for much of these “new” diseases. However as always I will NOT ever say or stand behind anything that isn’t 100% under my control. Going forward I am going to do everything possible to ensure that no GMOs are ever used in anything I make.
Lastly the server is secure so all personal info is safe when processing your orders.
Any other info needed don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.
Every piece of this blog, products and the celiac campaign are funded completely by ME. Straight from my pocket. Every penny of the profits from these products is going back into the the cause for education, awareness and bringing us better choices in food. As I’ve said in the past I’m opening a SAFE Haven in the form of a bakery/info-spot for celiacs in NYC as well. That dream is almost fulfilled, again funded all by me (and my lovely boyfriend). Know that the money from these products are not buying me a new pair of Manolos or a vacation on the beach, but awareness, education, better quality products and hopefully some change to the way celiac disease is viewed. I thank you you in advance for healing me in this journey. It might be a long one but every step makes a difference. The number of emails and twitter messages I get from people who have gotten help in many ways through this blog have been heart warming and invigorating.

Much Love & Be Well,

I’m sending this for your information; it’s a copy of the letter I just sent to CBS through the network’s web site:
I really like Blue Bloods, but I will no longer watch it due to the way Jennifer Esposito has been treated. I will encourage my friends to drop BB; just like CBS dropped Esposito. If she can’t work as many hours as BB wants, how is writing Jackie’s character out of the show a solution? Wouldn’t a smaller role be better than no Curatola at all? Why not come into the 21th century and write in Celiac Disease as part of this character? As someone who can’t eat wheat, I would relate and APPRECIATE this. CBS would earn back some respect after the shameful way it has treated Esposito. Does someone have to have a visible handicap to rate some sympathy with CBS? If one of your stars got in a car accident, or broke a let skiing, I bet you would treat that person better than Jennifer Esposito has been treated. If she collapsed on set due to drugs or alcohol use, she likely would’ve been whisked into rehab, and still collected her paycheck…
Well said Val!!! I think I will join in on that and send a letter too! I can really relate as I can’t have any “grains”. Its a debilitating condition! Thanks for speaking out! The general public needs to learn as there are many people that are “sick” out there and can’t figure out what’s wrong. Doctors need more education in this area!
I was genetically tested and found out I was born with this and never knew it til later in life when I developed serious problems!
Jennifer, I just heard about what CBS has done and as wrong as it is, it doesn’t surprise me. When I’ve asked for accommodations per the ADA as this life-limiting condition can most defintely be a disability, I’ve been met with discrimination and resistance at times. It’s also been used as an excuse to harass me, and that played into why I left my civilian law enforcement job. This has just fueled my passion for advocacy.
My celiac went undiagnosed for almost 28 years and it took another four years for the rest of my food allergies and thyroid issue to be diagnosed. Both of my grandmothers have celiac; one almost died from complications before she diagnosed herself and the other just found out recently.
You seem very committed to a gluten-free diet but it sounds like you still have serious symptoms. It’s not my business what else you’ve been tested for, but I’m hoping you’ve had a full ELISA food allergy panel test as many celiacs have other allergies as well, like dairy. I’m an example of leaky gut syndrome– it took so long for my celiac to be diganosed that malabsorption allowed other food proteins to get where they shouldn’t go, meaning my immune system attacked those too. Most celiacs I know have other food allergies as well.
I also hope you have a good naturopath who is checking your thyroid function. Some of your symptoms sound very thyroid-related; Hashimoto’s thyroid seems to be common in celiacs. If you get diagnosed as such, don’t let them put you on a synthetic thyroid supplement, get the real thing.
Hormones… adrenals… autoimmune hepatitis… there are so many things that need to be checked in people with autoimmune disease because often several bodily systems go awry, not just one.
For what it’s worth, when I was on the board of the Gluten Intolerance Group, I published this rather restrained article in that group’s magazine: http://wildninja.wordpress.com/2010/04/14/from-the-gut/. I’m sure you can relate! There’s some other gluten-free info. on my blog in the Diet and Health category as well including info. on LDN (doesn’t work for me; does for some people).
I know Dr. Steve Wangen personally– he’s our food allergy expert in the Seattle area. His website is http://www.centerforfoodallergies.com/ and it has very useful info. about the ELISA food allergy testing among other topics. He knows his stuff– he’s one of us.
You might visit the Stop the Thyroid Madness website to see if you can relate to what’s discussed there, http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/.
I’m probably preaching to the choir but wanted to throw some resources out there as a woman of your generation who’s been through it too. Sometimes we ask why such crappy things happen but we’re often meant to use them to help others in similar situations and it looks like you’re doing that. Keep up the good work!
I so appreciate your concern, support and suggestions. I have been many of the roads you have spoke of. I do deal with leaky gut and my diet is primarily grain free. The grains I do eat are in a rotation diet that I find does help. I will absolutely investigate the suggestions you gave. Always looking to learn more about living healthily with this disease. As you know going undiagnosed for so long causes many problems. Hoping here with all the info we can start to change that for some in the future.
Much thanks
Be Well
Jennifer
Hello;
I watched you on the Fox files, Sunday Nov 18th, 2012.
It is so validating to see/hear someone explain leaky gut! 16 years ago I had never heard of it. I am self taught, “through the fire education” is what I called it. I was in tears hearing you tell your story! My eldest daughter heard it too, she had been sick 18 years and now, finally she is healthier…..
I have done a rotation diet for 15 years and sometimes I cheat, but the got is so high! Thank you for you time. I wish you health and happiness!
Since I’m allergic to egg also, I use the 2 Tablespoons flax meal and 3 Tablespoons water substitution for each
Hi Jennifer,
I saw the story on Fox News this evening about Celiac disease and first and foremost, I tip my hat to you for your courage in standing up to CBS. What a horrible thing to have happen to your career; not to mention the agony you and millions of others have endured!
I have an idea to help raise awareness…please contact me.
I saw you on Fox too, and also congratulate you for standing up to CBS. You have a GREAT story to tell. Any idea of WHEN you will bring out a cookbook? Good luck and stay strong.
Within the Next year! Stay tuned for the opening of the Jennifers Way Bakery/Space of Hope in NYC
Be Well
Jennifer
Jennifer you are such an inspiration to the celiac community. I watched your story on Fox Files and taped in for my 10 yr old celiac daughter so she can watch it. My daughter was diagnosed with celiac when she was 2 yrs old. The disease almost took her life before her 2nd birthday. She suffered a setback last year and spent all winter in the hospital. Like you, she was so sick and was hospitalized 5 times spending weeks at a time in the hospital. And like you, her dr couldnt figure out what was wrong and sent her to psychologist. I knew something was wrong because she couldn’t stop vomiting, had horrible stomach pains, mouth sores, joint pains etc. I contacted Dr. Fasano at the U of Md and he had her transferred to his hospital to help her. My daughter was dying. Dr. Fasano saved her life. He put her on a fresh food diet (no processed foods) and a ton of medication including steroids. She was finally able to stay out of the hospital and be home schooled for the rest of the school year.
Its been a long battle- but we finally got a diagnosis for her. She was recently diagnosed with a rare form of celiac disease called Refractory celiac. She is the 2nd child in the United Statesto have this . She has a long battle ahead of her and she is a research study.
You would never know all the suffering my daughter has gone through because of that smile on her face. Last year at sickest time, she looked at her dr and said ” I will get better becaause I want to dance again on stage”. She fought so hard- and she reached her goal of dancing again. She blogged about her story on the celiacenter.org in the kids section. She wanted to share her story because she doesnt want anyone else to suffer the way she has. She is an extraordinary brave child who still has a fight ahead of her. Your story on Fox Files- showed her she is not alone that there are others like her who can related to how she feels. I thank you for that. And hope that you keep sharing your story- so that we can educate the world about celiac disease.
She is not alone at all. There are so many like her and myself who deal with this crummy disease. Maybe one day we can meet over a healthy gluten dairy refined sugar free muffin at my soon to open Bakery/Space of Hope. Until then i wish her all the best health possible. Please keep me posted on how she is doing.
Be Well
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer: I am glad that you have found your way finally. My husband began a celiac diet years ago. He did feel better but it was difficult to maintain it. He did get away from it. Most recently, he has started a diet akin to his blood type “O”. It’s even more restrictive than celiac. Have you found recipes that do not contain coconut, potato, and that are also gluten free?
Would most appreciate anything you can offer.
Wishing you good health and miss you on Blue Bloods, Sharon
Blue Bloods was removed from my DVR recording schedule the second I learned of JE’s removal and the reason for it. I am still lost looking into my own health issues and CBS’s behavior just frustrates me considering all the hoops I have jumped through for the past 8 long years. Valuable resources are lost when compassion is thrown away under the guise of valuations that are nothing more than self-serving biases. JE was important to BB because not only can she act but she brought a true representation of NY.
Jennifer,
Is there a list on the web (or otherwise) of the medical tests that determine the foods which cause the Celiac disease-like symptoms? I noticed on the Fox news segment recently that your doctor was reviewing results from such tests.
Thank you for sharing your ordeal.
I will write this very important info in an upcoming blog!!!
Stay tuned!!!
Stay well
Jennifer
