Can We Eat That?

Are there degrees of gluten sensitivity?

 There is a really good Q&A feature about gluten sensitivity on CNN Health.com from July 16, 2011 by    Dr. Melina Jampolis

How cool is this?  Summer camp sessions made especially for Celiac kids!

I rounded up this list of 15 summer camps (I have learned of 5 more since my original list of 10) which give Celiac campers the chance to enjoy traditional camp activities without having to worry about what they will eat.  It’s the perfect summertime escape from feeling left out or different because they can’t eat what everyone else is having. At these camp sessions, Celiac kids’ meals are gluten-free and carefully prepared so that there will be no need for them to ask or to wonder, “Is this safe for me to eat?"

In researching the below list of camps it was interesting to see the various approaches to Celiac campers. Some camp philosophies celebrate that the kids are gluten-free, while others focus on treating everyone the same except for which meals they receive. Some camps intermingle Celiacs and non-Celiacs while other camps have only Celiac campers and gluten-free food for that particular session. Some even allow non-Celiac siblings to attend as well. I have included links so you can find out more than

what I have room to post here...
