BETTER DAYS AHEAD! Celiac Awareness Month

BETTER DAYS AHEAD!  Celiac Awareness Month

Food allergies are fast becoming an epidemic in our country. The good news is, as the market recognizes the needs, things will continue to get even better!

May is Celiac Awareness Month and some of us here at Simple Kneads know what life is like when you have limited options. In addition, hyper vigilance with cross contamination can be stressful and puts a real damper on all the fun. So, we want to bless our celiac customers this month with information that can make life easier!

Going out to eat is always a challenge if you have food allergies, but if you are celiac, going out to eat is a rare luxury. Recently, a celiac customer shared some very valuable information with us that has revolutionized her life, bringing back date nights with her husband!

It’s called Nima – a portable gluten sensor machine that comes with high-tech capsules where you place a small amount of food, and it instantly gives you a cross contamination reading! For more information check out this Amazon link:

When it comes to an autoimmune disease like celiac, the world in many ways is a better place now than it once was. However! We must not forget that even though these devices are helpful in keeping you safe, it’s important to remember the big picture. If we just try to avoid gluten and forget about nutrition, exercise, good sleep, etc., we will continue to experience more and more issues. That’s why at Simple Kneads we always advocate holistic – body, mind and spirit.

We hope this information has been valuable and wish many blessings on your journey to ultimate health!

At Simple Kneads, we’ve always believed that food should nourish both the body and the soul. That’s why we’re excited to share a meaningful change we’ve made in our bakery: We’ve officially swapped out seed oils in all of our baking and replaced them with heart-healthy extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Why the switch? Extra virgin olive oil is packed with antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats, making it a smarter, cleaner choice for your heart. It’s been a staple in Mediterranean diets for centuries, and now, it’s a staple in ours too.
