Places you never had to look
So, I recently read a book about gluten allergies, The G Free Diet by Elizabeth Hasselbeck . Even though we’ve been going down this road, making our home an allergy-free domain, I was very surprised by some things she had to say. It was well written, so if you are wondering if it’s worth buying, I’d do so-if it’s for you, or if you want to empathize better with someone in your family that suffers from food allergies.

I’ll share about companies that are friendly and helpful, and I might warn you of those that aren’t (in ways of suggesting you might call them and ask them to be).
