I am not a medical professional. I'm a mom trying to feed my family a healthy, gluten-free diet. Please read labels and do your homework to insure that ingredients and products are gluten free. Things change quickly in the gluten-free world from research to product reformulations. I always state if a product is a free sample or if a cookbook has been provided free from the publisher. If I don't tell you in my post, you can know that the item was purchased by one of the celiacs in the house.
