Happy Pre-Holiday Wishes!

As always, we here at Allergiesandme.com want to keep you and your family safe during these summer months. Here is a great article from AllergyAsthmaRelief.org regarding Summer Barbecue time and Allergy Free Food Safety.

All of you out there know the rules, but it is always good to have a reminder...don't relax your guard when it comes to you and your family's safety this holiday weekend!

It's that time again, new questions and answers for Ask the Doctor! We had some great queries this month and Dr. Wangen, as usual, provided some helpful direction. Take a peek at the Food Allergy and Celiac Disease questions for June.

Short and sweet for today, I have friends flying in to enjoy our Florida weather with us...unfortunately, it's expected to be rainy! Oh well, the important part is enjoying friends and family this holiday weekend...inside or out!

Happy Fourth of July! Be safe and Have Fun!

Ask and ye shall receive....our first round of answers to your questions from Dr. Stephen Wangen are posted.

Dr. Wangen was quite impressed with the depth of questions and I think you will be impressed with his knowledgeable and very thoughtful answers.

Please take a look at our May questions regarding Food Allergies, Celiac Disease and other Digestive Disorders here. We will continue this resource for you each month, so get your questions in now at Ask the Doctor.

Our sincere thanks to Dr. Stephen Wangen for volunteering his time. You can check out his practice at www.IBSTreatmentCenter.com.

Take care and stay healthy!

Celiac Disease Awareness Month continues on.....

We just posted a new Gluten Free Pasta Recipe from a new contributor this month.

Kelly Bruneman is a blogger from Austin with a passion for healthy living. She founded the blogsite, www.myhealthypassion.wordpress.com to, in her words “show people that healthy living can be a lifestyle that is obtainable and not a sacrifice.”

Through her blog, Kelly shares healthy living tips and recipes. She agreed to share one of her favorites with Allergiesandme.com. The recipe includes two ingredient substitutions sold in the Allergiesandme.com store to allow those on a Gluten Free diet to try it. Kelly says, “Nutrition can get very scientific and be very confusing causing most people to just throw up their hands in disgust. My mission is to be the bridge between the science and the everyday life. I want to help people see that eating healthy is easy, fun and best of all it can taste REALLY good!”
