History
My daughter Gillian was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1992 when she was six years old. Click here for more information. As an infant she was plagued by anemia, colds, ear and other infections and had a general appearance of frailty. Small in size, she lacked muscle tone and coordination. It was a long and frightening journey to a definitive diagnosis, spanning several years and many doctors and hospitals. Yet knowing Celiac Disease is treatable and that Gillian with the proper diet would grow and develop normally was an incredible relief to her family. Learning what foods were and were not safe was an exhausting process. Many additives are wheat-based and found in most common foods. For me, an executive chef, finding a palatable bread that would not fall apart in Gillians lunch box was my new mission. Much research and experimentation over several years finally resulted in a bread that Gillian gave a thumbs up.
