GIG Celebrates its 40th Anniversary - The Gluten Free Voice with Jules

Gluten-free expert, author, coach and advocate Jules Shepard hosts a weekly show offering news, interviews with intriguing guests, gluten-free baking tips and otherwise lively conversation.

Back on air after the summer sabbatical, Jules welcomes onto the show again Cynthia Kupper, RN, Executive Director at Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (GIG). Cynthia will be joined by GIG's Director of Social Programs, Sara Vollmer, who will speak about the celebration on November 9th that is planned to honor the organization's 40-year legacy.

GIG’s Mission is to support persons wih gluten intolerances, celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, and other gluten sensitivities, through consumer and industry services and programs that positively promote healthy lives. Among GIG's programs is their Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), which certifies products around the world as less than 10 parts per million gluten.

The show will focus on the history of the GIG organization, the climate in which gluten and celiac disease were viewed when it was formed 40 years ago, and how things have changed in the world of gluten free since then.
