š£ Big News in Celiac Testing | 5 New GF Products in June | July Box is Almost Gone š¦
|
Hello Reader, Weāve had a lot of new friends join our community recently, so I wanted to quickly (re)introduce myself. Iām Jenny, founder of Good For You Gluten Freeāa blog and newsletter created to support and empower the gluten-free community. Every Friday, I share a quick roundup of gluten-free news, tips, product finds, exclusive discounts, and more. Letās dive into this weekās need-to-knows! š£ Big News in Celiac TestingIf you went gluten-free before getting tested for celiac, youāre not aloneāand you probably know how tricky it can be to get answers. Itās widely known that you must be eating gluten for traditional celiac tests to work. This means many people never find out if they have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity unless they agree to do the dreaded "Gluten Challenge," which requires them to eat gluten for several weeks before getting tested for celiac disease. But thereās hope! A new study published in Gastroenterology this month found that a blood test measuring a cytokine called interleukin-2 may be a highly effective way to diagnose celiac disease, even in individuals who are already following a gluten-free diet. š This could be a game-changer for getting a real diagnosis without having to reintroduce gluten and trigger painful symptoms. More accurate, less invasive testing? Yes, please! Read more about the study methodology and findings in this article. My July Box is Going, Going, Almost Gone āļøš¦In addition to writing this newsletter, Iām also the founder of Love Me Gluten Free, a monthly subscription box that helps you discover new, celiac-safe brands and products.

Hello Reader, Once upon a time, if I saw āmade on shared equipmentā on a product label, I wouldnāt touch it. Even if it said ācertified gluten-free,ā Iād still worry it wasnāt safe. Itās confusing. Maybe even scary. I get it ā I used to feel this way. However, after years of research, conversations with brands, and a deeper understanding of how third-party certifications actually work, including a conversation with the GFCO, the leading gluten-free certifying agency, I can confidently say...
Hello Reader, I recently spotted a certified gluten-free product (GFCO certified!) that also had a label saying, "May contain wheat." Waitā¦ what? Turns out, the product is made in a shared facilityānot on shared equipmentāand the manufacturer added the warning as a legal precaution. I spoke with the brand owner, who assured me the product tests below 10 ppm of gluten, which meets GFCOās strict standards (stricter than the FDA's 20 ppm!). Sheās planning to change the label to say,...
Hello Reader, I wanted to drop a few exciting updates into your inbox mid-week. First off, people in gluten-free land have lost their minds at the idea that Cheez-Its are coming out with a gluten-free version of its beloved cracker. Yes, it's exciting news when large companies make products for us and finally recognize the importance of our small but mighty community.
