From the Heart of a 10 Year Old with Celiac and Gluten Intolerance
December 10, 2012 at 3:30 pm 4 comments
Chloe is one of our biggest mascots here at New Grains Gluten Free Bakery. She is daughter of our owners, Tim and Nicole Lawson. She is 10 and she has Celiac Disease. Chloe is one of the 5 reasons Nicole started to master gluten free baking in the kitchen 7 years ago. Little Chloe got sick last week and Nicole found this letter on her nightstand that night. It was unsolicited and touched our hearts. We wanted to share.
Feel free to leave a comment here for Chloe.
Chloe’s story isn’t unique. There are children like Chloe all around the nation and world and unfortunately, a lot of them don’t know why they are getting sick.
It is our mission at New Grains, to provide education to those looking for solutions and to provide good tasting, safe, gluten free products to those that choose or must eat gluten free. Thanks for being a part.

What a sweet little girl. Reminds me of my own 8-year-old daughter with Celiac. Thank you for sharing her story.

Thank you Gluten Free Dude for sharing Chloe’s note and sharing those comments back to us. It is so heartwarming to hear the love and support others have for a child with Celiac, giving her hope and that they can relate. What a sweet Christmas present to her and all those that read. I encourage all to read the link and also leave a comment there or here for Chloe. Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Thank you for Chloe’s note. I certainly can relate. I’m 77 years old and have been Gluten Intolerant for many years. I had to diagnose myself. Nobody knows enough about it. Thanks for all you do.
