Ask Heidi: Cheating on the gluten free diet
posted on October 16, 2011 by
Marjorie asked: You have been so forthcoming about being a former gluten cheater and I really appreciate your honesty. I’m guilty of cheating too, it is so hard to stay on this diet sometimes (even though I feel so much better when I do). My question is, how did you finally overcome the temptation […]

The following is a new video from Dr. Vikki Petersen of HealthNOW Medical Center, sharing information she recently learned from the renowned celiac researcher, Dr. Alessio Fasano, regarding gluten sensitivity and autism. Do you have a child with autism? If so, have you tried implementing a gluten-free (or gluten-free/casein-free) diet? If you have, did you notice […]
How to Make Dairy/Casein-Free, Soy-Free and Corn-Free Butter
posted on October 13, 2011 by
A couple weeks ago I struck gold when I found a recipe for homemade vegan butter on veganbaking.net. The recipe’s creator, Mattie, is brilliance personified.

Why We Do What We Do
posted on October 11, 2011 by
I am often asked by those close to me why I research and talk about gluten so much. Can’t I just “get over it” and move on with my life? Why does everything always have to be about gluten? I received the most heartwarming email the other day from one of my readers who summed […]

Ask Heidi: A New Blog Series
posted on October 6, 2011 by
Living a gluten-free lifestyle is about so much more than just managing the food and health issues, yet I’ve always stuck to recipes and medical information here on my blog. I suppose that’s due to the fact that I’m still in the process of my own spiritual healing and my blog has been my escape […]
The Possible Role of Dairy in Celiac Disease and Type 1 Diabetes (and some Dairy-Free Roasted Butternut Squash Soup)
posted on October 4, 2011 by
I love autumn, it’s my favorite time of the year. The crisp, cool air just begs for a mug of warm soup or hot apple cider to accompany the beauty of the surrounding fall foliage. Well, in theory anyway. My leaves are still green here in the desert southwest! You can find my recipe for […]

Can you believe it’s already October? Seriously, where did the time go? I’ve always heard people say that the older you get, the faster time flies by. Is that physical age or mental age?
