It's the beginning of November and that means I get to catch up with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen and I speak about the petition being circulated by Celiac Canada regarding a tax benefit to help with the cost of the gluten free diet. This important petition must be signed by November 10th, so if you haven't signed and it's before November 10, please follow the link, and send it on to friends and family – there's strength in numbers!

Petition to Change the Way Celiacs Receive a GF Food Tax Credit

Recently there was a very broad recall of frozen waffles and pancakes which included some gluten free products and many different brands. Please check the recall notice that Ellen has posted and open your freezer to make sure you don't have any of the contaminated packages – this is very important.

Cindi Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet has posted a very interesting article about the wheat starch flour blends that are currently being imported from Europe. Ellen and I have a lively discussion. I've used the wheat starch, and you may have already eaten it in some commercial gluten free foods.
