Celiacs everywhere are now celebrating and breathing a sigh of

 relief. I know I am!  As a mother of 3 children

 ( two with celiac disease) and a GF business owner I am all

 too aware of the risks celiacs take when purchasing a 

product that states it is GF but there is no outside 

testing certification that actually deems it truly gluten-free.  

Recently, my son Josh had his annual blood work performed.  

This always includes a celiac panel just to make sure that we

 are on the right GF path.  Josh has been GF for almost 11 years

 now and his levels are always perfect since being GF. Not so this 

time around.  His antibody levels were elevated and I honestly do 

not know why!  Josh does not cheat, that I know for sure,  

but maybe some products that he is eating, that state they are GF, 

are truly not GF or safe enough for someone with celiac disease.

 The FDA labeling law will force manufacturers to test their 

products that they want to be labeled GF.  

As a GF business owner I have positioned our products 

specifically for this day.  At Just Ask Josh our products are all 

sampled and ELISA tested to be <10ppm- significantly below the 

FDA regulations for GF.  I am very proud of our testing and GF

 certification.  Yes, it does cost to have the products tested but

 I would not have it any other way!
