Did You Know? Costco Tortilla Chips...

Did you know that the tortilla chips from Costco are Gluten-Free? Hallelujah, Praise Jesus! They are! They are made by Mission. I went to the grocery store (Vons) to see if the Mission tortilla chips said anything about Gluten-Free and they didn't. Is this because the chips on the shelves there are old or are the chips on the shelves at Costco old? hmmmm. Maybe Costco was just nice enough to put that on thier packaging. Oh well! Just thought that was cool! So... if your ever having a party and you want to invite me and your going to have tortilla chips and home made salsa you would definitely impress me by buying the Costco/Kirkland Tortilla Strips. I would really feel loved too. Ding Dong Countdown - 68 Days

What is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is a disease of the small intestine. The small intestine is a 22 foot long tube that begins at the stomach and ends at the large intestine (colon). The first 1-1/2 feet of the small intestine (the part that is attached to the stomach) is called the duodenum, the middle part is called the jejunum, and the last part (the part that is attached to the colon) is called the ileum. Food empties from the stomach into the small intestine where it is digested and absorbed into the body. While food is being digested and absorbed, it is transported by the small intestine to the colon. What enters the colon is primarily undigested food. In celiac disease, there is an immunological (allergic) reaction within the inner lining of the small intestine to (gluten) that are present in wheat, rye, barley and, to a lesser extent, in oats. The immunological reaction causes inflammation that destroys the lining of the small intestine. This reduces the absorption of dietary nutrients and can lead to symptoms and signs of nutritional, vitamin, and mineral deficiencies.
