Celiac and Gluten-Free resources

Celiac and the Beast I named this blog Celiac and the Beast because I’ve always loved Disney movies – and Belle was my favorite (don’t tell Ariel that). She was smart, kind, and looked past people’s appearances to what really mattered. Plus, I think I can sing all the songs from memory. Like Belle – I’ve learned to live with the Beast (the disease/wheat, etc.), but unlike Belle I will probably never learn to love it (hello Stockholm Syndrome much?).

Vegetarian Mamma My name is Cindy, I am the owner and author of Vegetarian Mamma. My husband and I grew up eating meat but decided to make the switch to a vegetarian diet about 12 years ago. Our children have been raised vegetarian.  We have also dealt with many food allergies, including life-threatening allergies.  In the past, we avoided all peanuts, tree-nuts, dairy, gluten and soy.  Thankfully my children have outgrown many of their allergies.  My youngest son and I both have to eat gluten-free and we are dairy sensitive.
