As a company founded by a gluten free family, we know how hard it is to give up the delicious baked goods of our youth.  After years of longing for a cupcake, just like grandma used to make, Grandma Rose's Bake Shoppe was born.  Our products taste just like their gluten filled counterparts (and are just as pretty too!).  As a company founded by actual followers of the gluten free diet, we know how important it is to be able to trust that your food is safe to consume.  All of Grandma Rose's products are both safe and delicious.  Now at Grandma Rose's Bake Shoppe you can have your (cup)cake, and eat it too!

These days everyone from Oprah to Gwyneth Paltrow to Victoria Beckham, is eating gluten free.  While those who are diagnosed with Celiac disease are instructed by doctors to follow a strict gluten free diet, many without celiac disease are seeing major positive effects when eliminating gluten from their diets.  An ever growing population is finding that they are gluten intolerant and are able to avoid a wide array of health issues by consuming products without gluten.  Research has also shown that a gluten free diet can greatly benefit those with Autism and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). 

Gluten is a protein found in wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley and rye.

Celiac disease is an inflammatory condition of the small intestine, induced by gluten. It has diverse clinical manifestations that resemble a multi-systemic disorder rather than a primary intestinal disease. Originally considered a rare disease of childhood, celiac disease is, however, now recognized as a common condition that may be diagnosed at any age.

Other terms for celiac disease include gluten sensitive enteropathy and non-tropical sprue.
