Fine Rice is a product developed and marketed by Shiseido Limited of
Tokyo, Japan. It is a rice product for people that are allergic to
rice. Approximately 70% of the people that are allergic to regular
rice in Japan are able to consume Fine Rice with no allergic
reaction.<3> [This may prove of value for those unfortunate celiacs
that also have a rice allergy.--editor]

CD and Bone Health: (from an article by Marion Zarkadas,
M.Sc.Nutrition.) Bone disease is one of the major complications of
untreated celiac disease. 80-100% of untreated celiac adults have
osteopenia (poor bone mineralization) which often causes severe bone
pain. Untreated CD can affect bone growth in children. Untreated
celiacs are also at a much greater risk of developing osteoporosis
than non-celiacs, with the backbone, hip bones, and ends of long bones
in arms and legs being the most seriously weakened.
What can a celiac do to combat bone disease related to CD?
* Follow a strict GF diet.
* Consume adequate amounts of calcium, preferably from milk and
milk products. If lactose intolerance is a problem, use lactase
with milk products or see your doctor for an good alternate
source of calcium.
* Keep active with weight bearing exercises (walking, bicycling,
dancing). Pulling against gravity helps keep the calcium in your
bones.
* Restrict coffee, alcohol, and salt, since all of these affect
calcium handling by the body.
* Don't smoke. Smoking is another risk factor for osteoporosis.

Canola Oil is gluten-free, but because it is made from rapeseed it can
have a laxative effect on some people. Those who have problems with
it should avoid it. This advice comes from Beverlee Clearman, RD, LD,
Clinical Dietitian, who works closely with Dr. Joseph Murray in Iowa.

waffles, muffins, cookies, etc. It is used in their pancake and cake
mixes, one of which drew raves from Jax Peters Lowell, author of
_Against the Grain_. Bean flour is high in protein, and is featured
extensively in Bette Hagman's third cookbook (_The Gluten Free Gourmet
