UNO’s Pizzeria – Chester, VA
We are traveling to Emerald Isle, NC this week. We stopped in Chester, VA for the night to break up the 9 ½ hour drive. We rarely eat dinner out, but decided to try out UNO’s because I had been reading about their gluten free pizza. We had a great experience. Tweet This Post
Dunkin Donuts Coffee is Gluten Free
I keep reading conflicting comments online about Dunkin Donut’s coffees.

Going Gluten-Free At Age 13
Jacob used to have excruciating stomach pains. During seventh grade, he remembers dashing off to the bathroom during tests. “Then I had less time to take the test.” And after sports practices, he’d come home doubled over in pain.

Last month, researchers at Melbourne’s Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) began the first human trials of a possible coeliac vaccine.
The vaccine is designed to persuade the immune system to tolerate the gluten peptides, says Dr Bob Anderson, WEHI researcher and head of Nexpep, the company that holds the patent for the vaccine.
