We are glad you looked us up, because if you did we know we have a lot in common and a lot to share with you. Either you, or a close one, is looking for ways to enhance, expand or enrich your gluten free diet and we have a lot to offer you. Allow us to first tell you the history of our company, Josef's Gluten-Free. Nine years ago, after endless sleepless nights, and months of agonizing and fruitless doctors visits, our son was diagnosed as suffering from gluten intolerence, or as is commonly refrred to, celiac disease. (Celiac disease (also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy or celiac sprue) is a condition of the small intestine. Gluten, a substance found in wheat, barley and rye, reacts with the small bowel, causing damage by activating the immune system to attack the delicate lining of the bowel, which is responsible for absorbing nutrients and vitamins.). Our initial reaction to this diagnosis was relief. At least, (we thought) this is simple. There's a clear solution and all we have to do to see our son improve is keep him on a gluten free diet. The problem was that as soon as we wanted to start, reality hit us. What is our son going to eat? Who is going to help us? We found the answer within our hearts and in our own kitchen. We researched, experimented, tested and tasted until we found the right recipes for every food our son would be missing in a regular diet. He took snacks to school, ate delicious sandwiches for lunch and even enjoyed pizza parties. Slowly friends and neighbors started asking about our new "bakery" and as word got around we were inundated with calls for recipes and requests that we accept orders for those unable to bake. Friends who had children who were allergic to dairy or eggs were also thrilled to have another address where they could find foods their children could enjoy and share. The immediate and enthusiastic response to our efforts was evidence of the tremendous demand for gluten free products and encouraged us to continue in our mission. The rest of our history is...history. Today, our son is doing remarkably well, and our attempt to him has turned into something much larger than we could have ever envisioned. We have reached out and helped hundreds of people, and our product line has grown to a variety of over forty different baked goods including breads, cookies, muffins, crackers and just about everything one would find in an ordinary bakery. We boast a beautiful store on 194 South 8 Street, Brooklyn, New York (11211), and we offer nationwide shipping service when you fax or e-mail your order to us. Our products, which are all certified Kosher, dairy-free, preservative-free and also available egg-free, have a lab-tested shelf life of over three months. Did we mention taste? Our reputation for the tastiest, freshest, crispiest and healthiest gluten-free baked goods available on the market is hard earned and well-deserved. We bake every loaf of bread and every cookie with our son in mind and so we offer only the very best for him and only the very best for you. |
