Going from Off Limits to Progressive—Hidden Valley

Once upon a time, some Hidden Valley dressings were off limits.  Thanks to an email alert from Triumph Dining I was informed of the safety of Hidden Valley products and the news that Hidden Valley plans to clearly label packaging.  That was welcome news because I had mentally written off the company and I see many recipes that call for their products.  Even better, Hidden Valley has come up with a helpful website with all kinds of tips for the gluten free community!

Future of GIG-Montgomery

My postings have slowed down as I have been distracted by all that is involved in moving across the country.  GIG-Montgomery has been a labor of love for me and I will always be grateful for the opportunity to begin this chapter with my dear friends, Pam Green and Ruth Givens.  At 56 members, I know that we have barely touched the hundreds in the greater Montgomery area who have some form of gluten intolerance.  Most do not know it yet, so I encourage everyone to help spread the word about the free CME on celiac available to the medical community.
Once the baton has officially been passed, I will update on the new leadership structure.  Hopefully, someone will be able to develop a new website soon and I can forward all who visit this page to the new source of information for GIG-Montgomery.  I encourage all who are interested in the future of this organization to attend the April meeting on 4/26 from 6-7 p.m. at Taylor Road Baptist Church (see sidebar).

Hershey’s

I did not know that Hershey’s had updated its gluten free list.  Thanks to the “Gluten Free Mom” for the head’s up!  And while I think that corporate America only takes such action after doing a cost-benefit analysis, I do agree with her that we should thank them for taking this progressive action. Hershey's website has the updated list; see Gluten Free Mom for this and many other helpful news bits.
