Gluten Free Expo Coming to Durham
On August 17, 2013 the Durham Convention Center will be the host site of Gluten Free Expo. The event details are still being finalized. But mark your calendar for this 10-3 event. I have attended the Expo in Asheville and Charlotte, both were well worth my time. Last year the expo was in Raleigh, (I was on vacation, so missed this one); Organizers decided to look for a bigger and better venue to reach the triangle gluten free community so they settled on the Bull City! This event is great support for those following a GF diet. There will be tons of vendors, speakers, cooking demos and lots of samples! Stay tuned more details to follow....

I attended the show in Raleigh last year and won't attend again. Way too much processed junk food. I got sick (gluten?!) from the grits/cornmeal that was sold by one of the vendors. The admission fee was absurd. It seemed more about making the organizer money than promoting healthy eating education and gluten health issues.
As I mentioned I was not at the Raleigh show so cannot comment about last years event. As information becomes available I will post further details so individuals can decide if the event would be helpful. I do agree that as the gluten free market expands so does the processed, high sugar, and fat options! Focusing on whole foods and naturally GF items is always the healthiest choice.
