The Story

Haven on Earth Bread & Bakery Co.

A dedicated gluten free bakery

Everyone has a favorite Bakery, you know one where just thinking about it makes your mouth water? You know that “to die for moment” when it’s just you and the donut against all the stresses of the day. It is comfort and just plain good food. Mine is where we go camping. It’s the first place we stop and the last place for just one more yummy treat before we go home. The best cookies, the yummiest donuts, special loaves of bread and those Eclairs in the cold case just before you pay, I know I have your mouth watering now. But why do I feel so yucky and bloated after I eat those harmless treats? Is it worth it? Of course it is until you hear the words “Celiac Disease” or Gluten intolerant. Now you realize that “Gluten” could actually begin killing you one bite at a time. Oh

! maybe just when I’m on vacation and then that familiar pain in your stomach is a rapid reminder that looking and smelling is all I will be doing in that luscious bakery.

After 20 years of doing without I walked into a “Gluten Free” bakery in Corvalis, Oregon and thought I was on vacation. I could eat anything in the store and be safe. It was a Haven for me. I felt like I was cheating or dreaming but that day I discovered a product that looked, felt and tasted like a “to die for moment”. I didn’t want to stop there , I wanted this for all my friends and people who I hadn’t even met yet who had the same limitations as me.

I had experienced over the years dry “emergency” bread (just in case I had to take a sandwich somewhere). I had even tried toasting it to make it a little more palatable but it wasn’t worth it. I had forgotten what good bread tasted like. That day in Oregon changed my mind about what “Gluten Free” could be like.

We are now opening a bakery here in Reno, Nevada with the help of the proven recipes of the Oregon store and now every day we can provide a fresh, good tasting and great textured bread as well as pastries, cookies, cakes and…for the rest of the list you’ll have to come in to our “Dedicated Gluten Free” facility for a look see and a free taste test.

Larazotide – Hope for Celiacs

Leave a reply

New Research Gives Hope for Celiacs

It is always encouraging to see the new research trying to find cures for Celiac disease. Here is some new research that may unlock some keys and give new hope to Celiacs

“Alba Therapeutics Corporation presented results from two clinical studies this week at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) 2008 Annual Scientific Meeting. Data from study CLIN 1001-004, the first Phase IIa trial conducted in celiac disease and the first to assess the prevention of immunologic changes in celiac disease, showed that larazotide acetate (AT-1001) successfully demonstrated prevention of gluten-induced immunologic changes in celiac patients.

Results from the study showed that larazotide acetate is the first pharmacologic agent to prevent changes in blood mononuclear cell populations (specifically T-reg cells and B Cells) and other markers of immunological change associated with active celiac disease. This data suggests that larazotide acetate offers potential as a future treatment of celiac disease. Results from a second poster presented at ACG showed that larazotide acetate also inhibited the effect of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and interleukin (IL-4) on intestinal epithelial permeability, in vitro, further suggesting that the product offers potential as a future treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Larazotide Acetate is a novel, non-absorbed peptide currently being studied in Phase IIb trials for the treatment of celiac disease. Larazotide acetate has the potential to become the first approved medicine to treat celiac disease and has been granted “Fast Track” designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this indication.

Celiac disease affects approximately one percent of individuals in the United States and Europe, or approximately 6.5 million individuals. The only accepted management for the disease is a strict gluten-free diet; however, the response to therapy is poor or incomplete in up to 30 percent of patients. These facts suggest that there is a need for therapeutic modalities beyond dietary modification.

Related data presented in a third poster at ACG include results from a qualitative study conducted to investigate the validity of the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) in patients with celiac disease. The GSRS is a validated measure used in clinical trials for irritable bowel syndrome and peptic ulcer disease. GSRS has been utilized in studies to assess larazotide acetate, including CLIN 1001-004 and CLIN 1001-006. Results from the poster presentation suggest that certain subscales of the GSRS may have relevance for use in establishing the efficacy of novel treatments for celiac disease. This is the first time the validity of the GSRS clinical scale has been studied in celiac disease to assess efficacy of treatments.”

After a frustrating weekend of realizing that gluten free eating NEVER gets easier I wanted to report a happy GF experience. I spent yesterday shopping with my celiac daughter for shoes and jewelry to go with her grad dress and were planning to eat out as a treat. Imagine our surprise when we found that Santé Gluten-Free Restaurant had just opened.
We went right over there and had an excellent meal, great friendly service and was it ever a pleasure to go somewhere that my daughter could order ANYTHING!!!!! I kept saying “I’m so happy” and the young guy at the counter said, “Yeah, I’m hearing that a lot!”

Gluten-free Menus Online

Leave a reply

For Celiacs, it can be difficult to find restaurants that offer gluten-free meals. Often when Celiacs do find restaurants that serve gluten-free food, they realize that there is very little on the menu they can eat, or that the food that is offered is not appealing to them. The only solution for a Celiac is to, only go to those restaurants they know about that offer gluten-free food and that they enjoy eating at. Finding these restaurants can be a challenge.

The Celiac Restaurant Guide lists over 20,000 restaurants in North America that serve gluten-free meals, so it’s not hard to find restaurants that serve gluten free meals. However, even though many restaurants offer gluten-free meals, often when you arrive you only have a choice of a salad or a burger without a bun.

Wouldn’t it be nice to see what food a restaurant can offer you before you go out to eat? The Celiac Restaurant Guide also has a great list of restaurants with gluten-free menus on their web sites, so you will be able to find out what food choices you will have, before you leave home.

What is Gluten?

Leave a reply

Gluten is a protein that is found in many grains like wheat, and barley. We eat products every day that contain gluten, bread, cereal, cake, pastry, cookies, pizza and pasta. But, what does gluten do?

When water and yeast are mixed with flour, the yeast starts to react. This reaction gives off carbon dioxide (CO2). When the carbon dioxide is released into the dough, the dough rises. If things go right, the dough rises and sticks together, making a great loaf of bread or cake or other baked product. Gluten is the glue that makes the dough stick together and gives the dough the elasticity needed, so it can stretch when it rises.

If you are baking with rice flour, or other flours that have no gluten, the results are different. When the yeast starts to react the CO2 goes into the dough. But since the rice flour has no gluten the dough doesn’t stick together, and the CO2 escapes. If the CO2 is not trapped in the dough, the dough doesn’t rise. The resulting baked product is hard and flat, and it crumbles when you eat it.
