* Chelsea Clinton's wedding was a private event and I read that caterers had to sign privacy agreements. There have been several published news stories that discuss her vegan menu options and her choice of a GLUTEN FREE WEDDING CAKE! I do not claim to know anything about Chelsea's medical history, but some articles claimed she has a "Gluten Allergy." Regardless of the reasons, this high profile wedding and discussion of the gluten free wedding cake, helps to continue to increase the awareness of Celiac Disease and a gluten free diet!
* My GF daughter had the recent experience of dining at Mellow Mushroom in Durham and noted that after she ordered her GF pizzza, the server proceeded to ask her if she had a true allergy to gluten? and when she answered yes, the server then took everything off the table and sanitized the table. She said it was a new procedure to make sure everything is clean and safe. Way to go the extra mile Mellow Mushroom!
*I have written previous posts about Twin Cakes having a booth at the Durham Farmer's market on Saturday morning, but note they are also there on Wednesday mornings!

But Gluten isn't an allergy, it's an autoimmune intolerance...
Gluten is the protein that those with Celiac Disease (an autoimmune disease) react against. Many with Celiac Disease find it easier in a restaurant setting to refer to this as an allergy rather than launch into a detailed account of "autoimmune diseases". In re: to Chelsea Clinton I am unclear if she has a gluten senstivity, Celiac Disease, or a food allergy.
