As you may have noticed, it’s been rather quiet on the GFS front. At least that’s how it may appear to all of you NOT inside the Gluten-Free Sugar Cleanse!
We’re heading into the diet part of the cleanse and I’ve been completely inspired by everyone’s commitment to learn more about sugar, where it’s hiding and how it is actually a huge hinderance to their gluten-free health goals. So kudos to everyone who has joined me this time around… and to those excited for the next round (some time in 2013, so stay tuned), I think you’ll love this experience and all the information it has to offer.
Now, let’s get down to business… or maybe take a break from business because I know that once the calendars hit September 1st for many of us, those long lazy days of Summer become distant memories. Rather your life becomes, well, crazy busy!
I want to help you with that! So that you can kick back and relax this October, I want to share with you a really cool giveaway I’ve put together!
One lucky winner will get:
- 1 box of organic Chamomile & Vanilla tea from Pukka (20 tea bags)
- 1 box of organic tea from Runa (16 tea bags)
- 1 mesh tea strainer
- 1 Sweet Pea Soy Candle
- 1 4-oz tube of Facial Mud from Redmond Clay (it’s only made of clay from Utah!!)
- 4 packets of Redmond Clay‘s Bath Salt+ and Clay

Great giveaway Jen! Since I have a good handle on preparing meals for myself, I think if more restaurants became better educated about GF cooking (cross contamination, etc.) that would make my life easier. I feel like a always get sick when I go out to eat, regardless of how much I educated the staff myself.

It would be easier to live gluten-free if gluten-free food were not so expensive!

My GF life would be easier if everyone in my house agreed to go GF.
Learning to eat with less processed gluten-free mixes would make my life easier. And I’m learning to do that by going through the sugar cleanse class right now. I’ve learned so much already and know there is a lot more coming.
I follow you on FaceBook and Twitter and just posted at both places. @carolynjolene and Carolyn Carey Reardon. Thanks for all the help you give us Jennifer.
Something that would make my gluten free life so much easier would be if everyone I know would take it as seriously as I do instead of having the mindset that a little bit can’t hurt anything and doing the eye roll when I try to explain to them how a little bit really can hurt. 🙂 I’m already signed up for your newsletter and also follow Gluten free school on FB. I will go share the giveaway right now….but I don’t tweet. Thanks for offering so many opportunities to win. This is a great giveaway!
Gluten free products help our family to live a much healthier lifestyle! We love the GF diet!
It would be easier if gluten-free food were not so expensive.
I think living a GF lifestyle would be easier for me if I had more knowledge regarding where gluten hides and knowing things like how to eat out, eat at friends/family and things of that nature.

As a woman who has been has been suffering with celiacs, microscopic colitis, IBS, I am also married to an Englishman and like hot tea. I have been unable to find any gluten free tea’s in my area and would so benefit from these. Having something to drink Gluten free I enjoy and will enable me to enjoy it more often 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity to enter to try to win these 🙂
I am very interested in learning more from your site. I am always looking for more GF ideas.
I have celiac, and alergic to dairy, soy and egg…I’ve learned to stick to the basics..Education in the public food service should be required.
Knowing what products have gluten in them
It would be great if there was more consistency in labeling for GF foods
My life would be easier if cooking gluten free was quicker.Thanks for the blog
🙂 gluten free news is always good news to me. Gluten free would be easier for me if it were less expensive and easier options at every restaurant and grocery. I manage because I know I have to eat this way to live:)
Having more restaurants with gluten free menus would make life a lot easier. As someone that doesn’t cook much, recently becoming gluten free has been a hard adjustment.
Gluten-free giveaway! That does not happen very often AT ALL!
I just followed you on twitter. 🙂 As far as signing up for the eNewsletter, all I found to my right that remotely looked like I could sign up for something was the eBook.
Finding a good soft white bread. With Thanks Giving around the coner i would love to be able to make a great turkey sandwich.
Great giveaway, i have been Gluten free for 7 years and went sugar free for 6 months, feel off the wagon and have now been sugar free for 4 weeks. Its a never ending process with learning and the second you let your guard down boom! glutened. 🙂
One stop shopping. The different stores carry some products but to get a variety of items to be able tocook something I have to stop at 5 stores. Easier recipes. Gluten free cooking is hard and some recipes taste awful. Ready to give up and go back to the health problems and sadly the medical costs seems cheaper than the stupid diet.
Shelia, please don’t get discouraged and go back to the old diet. I know it is hard and I used to run from store to store. But it was because I was trying to find things like bread, cookies, crackers like my old diet. Can you go to basic meals like meat, rice, veggies? I’m willing to correspond with you if you want. And you can find a lot of help from Jennifer and other’s posts here. My email is Chloe.meme@gmail.com.
Thank you for being such a supportive member of the GFS community, Carolyn!
It would be much easier if gluten free certified foods were not as expensive as they are. I live in an apartment complex and unable to grow much during the summer to help supplement our meals throughout the summer and winter months. Though the kids have found that the more we educate ourselves and find new recipes to try, we have been able to expand our recipe box of meals 🙂
Being able to find economical GF, non animal tested products for my skin/hair more easily! I know, tall order! 🙂
I don”t Twitter will follow on facebook but certainly don’t need another social media in my life so requesting to not be required to sign up for that for the giveaway.

Hi
just found you on Facebook :o) Love your blog… signed up for your newsletter… Nice of you to have a giveaway for this month! I am very interested in healthier natural easy to make recipes that are inexpensive and naturally gluten free. That would help me with this lifestyle… unfortunately, when I first went gluten free I did feel better but ended up gaining weight and spending a lot of money doing it lol…. way too much sugar and not so nutritious food out there Thanks
I have just found your blog! Thank you so much for doing this! It is wonderful! I look forward to each new entry and reading past entries! I was diagnosed with celiac 4 years ago and still cherish any new information I can get!
Thank you so much!

*i have signed up for your newsletter, liked you on facebook and twitter! That is so handy!
I have been eating gluten free for almost a year. I am still learning what to buy and not to buy.sometimes this gets frustrating but I am hanging on my daughter is my backup team
Being diabetic any thing I can learn would be amazing ,because my doctor gives me pills but would love to find a better way to live besides pills and more pills ,,,,,,gluten free would be good ,,thanks I work all week so maybe some great ideas would make me feel so much better because I struggle daily ,,,,,,,,,,,,great site
i love gluten free, but it is more expensive. but i still try to do it with more fruits and veggies, I am also diabetic, and hypothyroidic , so it is a battle.
If I was able to have items I could grab and eat on the run when I didn’t have time to cook, that would make my life easier. Since I have to cook all of our meals from scratch, it takes a lot longer for me to eat.
What a thoughtful gift! I think we need people like you to help us filter through the maze of gluten ally!
Live gluten free products!!
It would be easier to be gf if there was more and healthier variety and the prices weren’t so very high.
I shared the contest on Facebook, was already a fan 🙂

This is my first visit to your site, kindly referred on FB by Andrew Cordova. I would love to win your very attractive sampler. Planning to follow you on FB right now!
Just wanted to let you know I shared your giveaway on my FB page. We are a family of Celiacs and the hardest one hit is my little girl. I wish that people were more educated so that my 8 year old didnt have to explain to an adult what gluten is.
Being GF would be easier if there were better options for a simple loaf of bread – AND a loaf of bread didn’t cost $6.
I was just diagnosed a week ago and I am so extremely overwhelmed. I don’t cook in the first place…no time…and I am so afraid to go to the store. I think if the was a basic list for reference of ingredients I can not have it would make it easier to go to the store.
My gluten-free life would be made easier by having options that don’t take too much time to make. I prefer to make most of my food from scratch but about once a week, I need something fast and easy.
Right now, pricing and limited budget.
Better labeling on food would be awesome!!!
Thank you for your website. It has been a big help, being newly diagnosed. Im looking forward to following you. My fiancé is also going gluten free to support me. Looks like a great giveaway
My GF life would be easier if there were more filling and quick grab-n-go options at popular establishments that were gluten free. GF granola bars are nice, but when I’m traveling I need some real food! =]
My gluten-free life would be easier if more bakeries in my area provided gluten free cakes, cup cakes and pastries!

What would make our gluten-free life easier would be more time to cook for my family and a local grocery store that carried more GF options.
My Gluten-Free life might be easier if our local grocery store carried GF friendly foods. I live in a small town and I have to drive about 30 minutes to get to Price Chopper in order to have allergen free food. I am not only allergic to wheat, but corn, soy, sesame, peanut and walnut. I have a hard time making meals work, but I get by, I am a great cook and very creative. It would just be nice to have the right ingredients close to home 🙂
