=================================

"I got involved with launching Gluten Free and Fabulous Products because of my daughter Brittany who is mildly Autistic and had severe gastrointestinal problems," Shari says. "She was also lethargic and had trouble focusing in school. Now that she is gluten free all these issues have gone away. This also gave me an opportunity to work with my father (Larry Schneider) and my best friend (Karen Davidson). We all have a passion and the same goals in mind. If we could produce great tasting food that the whole family can enjoy and help people along the way what could be more satisfying than that."

Shari knows first-hand that children with autism can benefit from a gluten-free diet. She has developed many gluten-free recipes in her own kitchen to help her daughter Brittany, now a champion equestrian. Gluten Free diets also benefit the entire family, especially those with wheat intolerance, autism and for women who are tying to loose weight.

Shari serves on the Board for Cure Autism/Autism Speaks Acts of Love in Los Angeles. Shari is speaking, cooking and appearing at the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center Annual Benefit on Wednesday, April, 16.

THE FACTS ABOUT GLUTEN-INTOLERANCE:

  • Intolerance to gluten, also known as Celiac Disease (CD), is a genetic disorder that affects millions. In fact, there are approximately 4,000,000 people with Celiac Disease and a larger percentage of people still undiagnosed.
  • Because of the broad range of symptoms associated with Celiac Disease, it can often be difficult to diagnose. However, typical symptoms include abdominal bloating, diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition. A blood test can help determine if you have Celiac Disease.
  • The Celiac Sprue Association (www.csaceliacs.org) is the largest association in the USA and western hemisphere for people who have Celiac Disease, a disease affecting individuals that are allergic to protein (gluten) found in wheat, barley, rye, oats or derivatives thereof. Gluten Free and Fabulous is proud to announce that they have received the seal of recognition of the Celiac Sprue Association/USA.
  • Scientific data supports the link that children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Dyslexia and many other learning disorders, often have food intolerances, many of which are gluten or wheat related.
  • A suitable and proven treatment for Celiac Disease is strict adherence to a 100% gluten-free diet for life, which means avoiding all products that contain wheat, rye, barley, oats or any of their derivatives.
