New Products and New Friends is the theme of today's post....

We added some awesome new chocolate bars this week from Yamate Chocolatier. Most of them are not only Gluten Free, Cholesterol Free and Vegan, but are appropriate for a Diabetic diet. Now how many people do we know who LOVE chocolate, but are restricted from eating it?!!
Here are just a few -
  
          

Our New Friend part is really not exactly true, we have known this great group of Canadian "Allergy Moms" for some time. Rhonda Lewis is co-founder and helped launched www.AllergySense.com last year and they are growing strong.

Rhonda describes her website this way, "It all began on our first trip together in 2007 when our husbands ran the Boston Marathon together. We chatted about our kids and life and realized quickly that 5/5 of our kids had multiple food allergies. Gluten free, nut free, egg free, dairy free, fish free… We live it, eat it and get it.

The idea for AllergySense developed as our conversations progressed. As parents of kids with food allergies and as people with food allergies ourselves, we felt the need for a comprehensive online resource for all families, newly diagnosed individuals and kids and for the allergy community at large. We started to brainstorm and met with Allergists, Support Groups, Family Doctors, Parents, Pediatricians, Grandparents, Caregivers and Businesses all of whom provided feedback that we have integrated into the site."

Check the website out at www.AllergySense.com. They recently updated the format of the site and it is great. They were nice enough to highlight one of their favorite "Allergy Free" Food companies in their recent newsletter...Allergiesandme.com!

Take a peek at them, support their efforts and tell them we said "hi"!

I have found an online forum for those of you who are Vegan or Vegetarian and have Gluten concerns.
Below is the description of the support group website and the address....check it out!

"VEGIAC was created to help the gluten free and vegetarian/vegan community come together to make life easier.
Exchanging detailed recipes, pictures, product reviews and advice to one another are some of the ways VEGIAC hopes to make this possible."

Have a wonderful week!
