Thanks to Gary for informing us of the new products coming to Aldis May 8.  Some of these are:  empanadas, raisin bread,  larger pizzas, ravioli.  More choices are always a helpful situation for us!

I once had a very difficult tooth pulling.  It was after business hours when I finally left to go get pain medicine.  No one knew if the pain pill had gluten in it but, I bought it anyway due to the difficult process trying to get it out.  There is a new bill introduced April 3, 2019 HR2074 that would protect us from this problem.  It would require the pharmaceutical companies to declare any gluten in their medicine used by humans.   I am sure they will fight this and maybe pay off our government leaders.  Please call, send and email, etc. to Ron Estes, Representative, Jerry Moran, Pat Roberts, Senators to respectfully request they help this pass.  This is a (rare) bipartisan effort!!  https://www.roberts.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/emailpat#form_56E0E9D8-904D-  I do not know why the other two men's emails did not copy.  It is not hard to get.  Look up Kansas Representative Ron Estes, and Jerry Moran, Kansas Senator.  Thank you for helping!  Ask friends and family to help us to pass this!

glutenfreesociety.org is the link Dr. Osborne used for the oats story.

I just read an interesting article about oats being highly inflammatory for celiacs and everyone!  I know that I cannot eat Cheerios.  I always thought it was the cross contamination but maybe there's more to it. I can't get the link to copy but it's Dr. Osborne. He is a doctor out of Texas that has amazing information and treats a lot of celiacs.  I have learned a lot from him.

April 11 is coming and so is our CEO:  Celiacs Eating Out at Perfect Plate, 5255 N. Maize Suite 104.  They are going to stay open 30 minutes longer to accomodate us!  So, it will be 6-7:30pm that Thursday night.  They can seat about 22 people.  They keep 11 different entrees on hand and reheat them.  They are made from scratch in a totally dedicated gluten free restaurant.  I am going to get their famous turkey meatloaf!  Yum!  Remember, I will call them with our number of attenders the day before so you MUST call, text, or email me.  316-788-2531  leave message of your name and how many coming, 316-650-4026 to text, takncare4@yahoo.com to leave email.  Hope to see you soon!

I like to read theceliacscene.com newsletter even though it comes from Canada.  Every year they show United States restaurants also and this year it is over 200!  They make it easy:  you can click on your restaurant choice and go right to the web site!  We don't eat out a lot but this information will be great on trips!
