Ellen is back with us for her monthly roundup of news from theceliacscene.com. We chat about a new study released from the Mayo Clinic regarding giving children antibiotics under the age of two and if that puts them at a greater risk for other diseases and conditions as they get older – celiac disease figures into this study.

Some good news – a recent study finds those with celiac disease are not at greater risk of contracting Covid-19. This was very welcome news during this time of increasing cases.

Ellen and I were pretty much both on the same page when it came to discussing the adoption of a gluten free diet by those without diagnosed celiac disease and now there is a study to dig deeper into this.

We looked at some innovative gluten free products – of note – Gluten Free Oreo cookies, authentic rustic corn tortillas and emergency preparedness meals from two companies that offered gluten free options.

Ellen brought to my attention two gluten free businesses who have uniquely pivoted during this time of Covid – KOB with an online Christmas recipe Book and Wild Poppy Marketplace.
