We are so excited about Don Poncho's Gluten Free Tortillas! These
tortillas are exactly like traditional flour tortillas. They can be
found at the www.glutenfreemall.com
These work really well for childrens' lunches... serve up a turkey wrap,
or ham and cheese wrap, or a bean and rice wrap!

Wrigley's Gum
The following is a list of U.S. Wrigley products that remain free of any wheat, oat, rye
or barley gluten:
Wrigley's Spearmint gum, Freedent gum, Doublemint gum, Extra gum, Big Red gum,
Eclipse gum, Juicy Fruit gum, Eclipse Flash breath strips, Winterfresh gum, Orbit gum,
Winterfresh Thin Ice breath strips and Orbit White gum.
If your sensitivity extends to other types of gluten, several of our brands contain corn
syrup, which may have trace amounts of corn gluten in it. The amount of gluten in
one stick is less than 0.2 milligrams, but if you are extremely sensitive, you may want
to consult with your physician before chewing our brands
Additionally, no packaging material directly next to our product contains gluten sources.
There may be instances when starches are used on the label around each individual stick
of gum, but these starches are produced from corn or potatoes, not from wheat, rye,
barley, oats, millet or buckwheat.
We hope this information has been helpful and thanks again for contacting the Wrigley
Company.
Sincerely,
WM. WRIGLEY JR. COMPANY

"Best pizza ever", says Kids Corner Jocelyn Robbins. Here are the details.
"Get Gluten Free Pantry French Bread and Pizza Mix and follow the directions right on the
bag. I find it extremely easy to make. I use white corn meal or white rice flour to flour
the stone and dough before I roll it out. I recommend Pampered Chef stoneware. This
mix makes me two pizzas...I use a large round stone and a rectangular stone. I bake one
pizza with Ragu Pizza Sauce and mozzarella cheese (any toppings you wish). Then I bake
the other dough plain without any toppings. I let this one cool and I cut it into rectangular
sized pieces and freeze. Later, when I need a quick pizza for a birthday party, I take out
one "Elio sized" pizza crust, microwave it for 30-40 seconds, top it, and bake for about 5-8
minutes.
Carolyn Evans of the Maryland Chapter of CSA/USA warns about soy bars.
At a recent meeting, "we gave out soy protein bars from Revivals Soy that say no wheat
or gluten on the label. However, reading the ingredient list there is MALT listed." This has
caused some problems for some celiac sufferers. She cautions everyone to continue to
read labels carefully!
