News Bites
In thanks to our friend, Connie Sarros for these interesting news bits...
Starbucks
Several different celiac blogs have announced recently that Starbuck's again carries gluten-free snacks. I just got off the phone with Starbuck's (1-800-235-2883). They said they carry Kind Bars (made by Kind Healthy Snacks), which the manufacturer states are gluten-free. As for Starbuck's own baked products, they will not claim that any of their foods or desserts are gluten-free due to cross contamination issues.
Contential Airlines
As of March 15, 2010, Continental Airlines stopped offering gluten-free meal options. I asked their representative if anything can be done to reverse this decision. She recommended that as many people as possible send an email requesting that gluten-free items be reinstated. Celiacs have banded together before and your letters have changed outcomes. Make your voice heard by emailing the head of Continental Airlines: Mr. Jeffery A. Smisek, CEO at jeff.smisek@coair.com.
More about Contential Airlines from Triumph Dining
My first transatlantic flight after my celiac diagnosis had been booked long before I was ever tested for the condition. The flight was with Delta who had just recently dropped gluten-free meals from their service. After a long and extremely frustrating battle with many representatives from Delta, I finally settled on ordering a vegetarian meal, knowing there might be nothing safe for me to eat in it. Since I was packing plenty of food for dinner, breakfast the next morning and snacks in between, it didn’t really matter what the vegetarian meal contained.
Someone used to ordering special meals on flights suggested I order two vegetarian meals. If they lost only one of them, I’d still have something to eat – maybe. Sure enough, on the flight over, they had only one special meal even though it stated on the tickets we both had special meals ordered. I was able to have salad with my own dressing and some fruit from the airline meal. I had packed a sandwich, peanut butter and crackers, dried fruit and a brownie for dinner alone. I could not eat ll the food I brought for that meal so my husband happily helped me finish it. For breakfast the next morning, other passengers were given a hard, cold roll and a green (literally) banana. My breakfast consisted of a hard boiled egg, some cheese, fruit and ready-cooked bacon. I remember the stares from some around me and comments from people who smelled my tasty bacon that could not see my delightful gluten-free breakfast. It was amusing, to say the least.
On the flight back, neither of us got the special meals we’d requested, but I’d expected as much by then. The Paris airport offered a safe pre-packaged salad and some chips. As always, I had my own dressing packet for the salad. I also had a backpack full of gluten-free food I’d packed for the trip, that I didn’t need to eat on vacation. Almost every person I’ve spoken to since that trip has reported problems with their special meal request with various American based airlines. Apparently Delta reintroduced gluten-free meals but includes things like Rice Krispies in the gluten-free breakfast. Rice Krispies contain gluten in the form of barley malt.
Last week on the celiac listserv, Janet Y. Rinhart, Chairman of the Houston Celiac Support Group, posted some annoying news about Continental Airlines. She gave me her permission to post some of her comments here.
Well said Janet. In addition to offering a vegan meal, Continental Airlines also offers the following special meals for international flights only – Hindu, Muslim, Vegan, Kosher and Jain. As reported on ABC News earlier this week, the airline does not offer free meal service on any flight under six hours. Let’s see how much Continental Airlines really cares about what their customers think. Consider joining forces with Janet and making a difference in how the gluten-free community is treated by the airline. It’s great that the airline makes the above mentioned meals available (on transatlantic flights) to people who need them. However, having to eat gluten-free is not a choice for most of us and it seems a bit absurd that the gluten-free meal (a meal prescribed for a medical condition) would be one that was recently dropped from the special meal line-up.

CONTINENTAL AIRLINES has discontinued special gluten-free meals on international flights. This can be anxiety-ridden for celiacs if they do not know and do not come prepared on international flights. Because of security concerns and customs, it may be hard to even bring food, at least enough for that flight and a return flight. And there are few GF choices after Security. Of course, you don’t know what is available when you are abroad as well. Please join me in writing your opinion and encourage Continental to reinstate their gluten-free meals. I think they are keeping the vegan selection, but vegan is mainly a choice. A gluten-free diet is not a choice for celiacs; it is the only way to stay healthy. It is the ONLY treatment for celiac disease.

Creating Convenience
Living in a world that doesn't cater to someone with as many food allergies as myself I often find that what's missing most from my life isn't pizza and bagels but the convenience of "easy" food. Pretty much everything I eat I make myself, often from scratch. One of the things I used to really love was those little packets of brown sugar & maple flavored oatmeal. They were easy, portable and tasty. Now of course no such product is readily available to me. So what's a girl to do? Why, make your own of course!
Because I garden and have excess produce I've recently gotten into canning as a way to save the harvest. In the off season those empty mason jars really do start to make a bother of themselves. So I've found ways of putting them to good use in my quest for convenience.
In an effort to replace my hot oatmeal I've been eating Bob's Red Mill, Buckwheat Groats. In and of themselves they're rather bland and gooey. Not to say I don't like that in a hot breakfast cereal but I also like variety too. It's the spice of life after all! Also I'm lazy on most days so what I want is to grab a "flavor" off the shelf, pour it in a bowl, add water, nuke, and add (non-dairy) creamer. Like batch cooking I do this about twice a month. I get as many jars as I can find or just fill them till I run out of groats.
BASE RECIPE
1/4 cup scoop of groats
1 TBL brown sugar
1 tsp ground flax seed
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon or cardamum depending...
...then comes the fun part!
To one jar I might add craisins, another jar gets coco and instant coffee, another chopped dates and walnuts, I might leave leave one plain. One of these days I really want to try a coconut flakes, cashews and chocolate chips. I just keep forgetting to put the coconut and cashews on the grocery list. The variations are endless... any dried fruit, nuts, seeds, etc... will work just fine. The limit is only your imagination!
