Celiac Awareness Tour Review!

This weekend, I was lucky enough to travel to the Woodlands, Texas, and attend the Celiac Awareness Tour. The event was presented by Kroger, one of Texas’ most popular supermarkets, and was sponsored by two AMAZING gluten-free companies, Enjoy Life Foods and Rudi’s Bakery. Besides sampling some delicious gluten-free baked goods, I was also able to listen to a talk given by Dr. Lambert Collins, a Texan chiropractor who not only talked about celiac disease, but also emphasized the importance of a holistic diet in order to maintain one’s health.

I found this information in Dr. Collins' presentation to be particularly interesting!

I also was able to talk to and sample some products from local gluten-free bakeries. Gluten-Free Nation, located in Spring Branch, Texas, had some incredibly yummy biscotti! I’m already a fan of their gluten-free bread and blueberry muffins (there’s a pack in my freezer which I’ve been rationing out). I only wish they were a bit closer to my school’s campus!

I was also able to sample some products from Mary’s Gluten-Free, also located in the Houston area. We even drove past the bakery on the way home.

And, of course, Udi’s was there with their numerous gluten-free products.

Overall, it was a great weekend, and I look forward to trying more products from these local gluten-free bakeries.
