This week was a disappointing one as a Celiac. I have gotten comfortable with the grocery store and wasn’t diligent about checking labels.  As a result I spent $10 on food that I can’t eat.  In this case, it was a package of frozen shrimp scampi that was not clear on the type of food starch or yeast extract and corn meal processed on the same equipment as wheat.  The scampi was thrown out, but thankfully I can donate the corn meal to my local food bank.

Let my mistake help you on your path to stay gluten free.  Take the few minutes to read your labels.  Be safe and eat well.
