The Jewish Journal did a story on gluten, celiac disease, my father-in-law and even a little bit about us! Just in time for the CDF Conference this weekend, too! [Which, BTW, you can still register for if you call the office directly at (818) 990-2354.]
It’s really a great piece and big, big thanks to writer Adam Wills for spreading the word about celiac disease. I just need to say one teeny thing. (And then I promise, I’ll shut up about the oats, I’m sure everyone is sick of the whole oats issue.)
It’s not that “the Hier family is confidently sticking with oats.” That’s not for us to decide. The RCC tells us oats require the blessing HaMotzi, with washing before and a full Grace after Meals following.
‘Nuff said.
And thanks once again to the lovely Keren Greenberg for the photo!

What a great article. Has the irony of your father-in-law devoting his life to tollerance, yet he comes from a long-line of the gluten-INtollerant, occured to him??

LOL. Actually, IN-tolerance is a bad word around here. That’s why we prefer the term, “gluten-SENSITIVE.”
