Yesterday, I made a lovely discovery in Gevalia Iced Coffee. Normally I make my own, but now, when I'm out and about there is an alternative! Everyone sees the Starbucks, Java Monsters et al, but now Gevalia has marketed theirs made with almond milk. It comes in Mocha, Vanilla and Caramel.
Now to get my store manager to put them in the fridge!

Gluten Free Beers
While at work yesterday, a customer asked me for gluten free beer. I realized I couldn't name a single one. I had left them out of my listings since I normally don't drink beer. So after some research I have come up with a list and some small reviews on each one. There are only 3 on this list currently that I would recommend as far as 'true' beer flavorings go. If you have any others you'd like to pass along, feel free to add them to your post and I will add them to the list!
A quick note on gluten free vs. gluten-reduced: Beers labeled “gluten-free” must not contain wheat,
barley or rye; hybrids of those grains; or any ingredients derived from them. Beers with lower gluten
levels that may still contain traces of wheat, barley or rye are labeled “gluten reduced,” or “crafted to remove gluten.”
Redbridge: It’s produced by Anheuser-Busch and is a sorghum-based lager.RedBridge is also in the
process of partnering with The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness to help spread the word about Celiac disease and gluten intolerance.
Bard's : Bard’s is brewed with a 100 percent malted gluten-free sorghum. Bard’s American lager is
made with sorghum, yeast, hops, and water. The company is very conscious about its brewing methods and makes sure the beer contains no wheat, barley, rye, or oats and is naturally gluten-free.
Greens: Green’s produces nine different gluten-free beers that range from golden ale to IPA to amber. They are currently being brewed by the best of Belgian craft brewers and have the European
accreditation of being gluten-free. Green’s Endeavour is quite popular in the gluten-free community for its double dark beer.

Frito Lay and product labeling
Please, my friends, be aware that 'most' of their product packaging do not contain the warning that the item may be produced on the same lines as products containing gluten/milk or other allergens. I found this on their website this morning after having a reaction to original Wavy Lays Chips
The above products do not contain milk; however, they are produced on the same line as our products that do contain milk. Although the lines are washed between batches, a slight residue may remain on the line. Individuals who are extremely sensitive may be affected.
I have emailed them and asked that they start adding the information that their foods are produced in a facility that also produces items containing other allergens. Everyone should do so, maybe we can get them to change their labeling and stop others from having reactions.
Luckily I had only eaten a few chips when I started having problems breathing. But this is also not a good thing if only a few chips set me off.
So, please just be careful!
