Have you had a chance to try any of Rudi\u2019s Gluten-Free<\/a> breads yet?  If not, you need to change that soon!  Rudi\u2019s has 3 varieties of gluten-free breads available \u2013 Whole Grain, Original & Cinnamon Raisin.  My personal favorite is the Cinnamon Raisin \u2013 I love to top it with almond butter for breakfast!  The whole grain is great for making sandwiches \u2013 either grilled, packed for school lunch or a deli-style turkey & cheese.  Make sure to head over to Rudi\u2019s Gluten-Free blog<\/a> to keep up on all of the newest happenings.  <\/p>\n

How does \u201cSpread the Bread\u201d work?<\/b><\/p>\n

For every $1 off coupon downloaded for a loaf of Rudi\u2019s Gluten-Free Bread, Rudi\u2019s will donate $1 to support the NFCA\u2019s CME program, up to $20,000. Coupons are available now on Rudi\u2019s Gluten-Free\u2019s website<\/a> and Facebook page<\/a>, and will remain available through February, or until the goal is reached.<\/p>\n

Through Spread the Bread, Rudi\u2019s Gluten-Free Bakery is proudly supporting the NFCA\u2019s efforts to educate physicians on the diagnosis of celiac disease through its Continuing Medical Education (CME) program. NFCA teamed up with top celiac doctors nationwide to create a program that provides education for primary care physicians focused on celiac disease with the goal of improving diagnosis and management of the disease. For full accreditation information, please visit: www.CeliacCMECentral.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year, millions of people suffer unnecessarily as a result of the lack of diagnosis of celiac disease,\u201d said Alice Bast, Founder and President of NFCA. \u201cOur mission is to decrease the amount of time it takes for someone to get diagnosed, improve quality of life, and with the support of companies like Rudi\u2019s Gluten-Free Bakery, we can better reach that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe created Rudi\u2019s Gluten-Free Bakery so people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance can once again take pleasure in eating tasty and healthy breads,\u201d said Doug Radi, vice president of marketing for Rudi\u2019s Organic Bakery. \u201cIn addition to creating great-tasting gluten-free breads, we\u2019re also committed to raising awareness and furthering education about celiac disease through partnerships with organizations like NFCA. The Continuing Medical Education program\u2019s goal to teach doctors to diagnose celiac disease will greatly impact the gluten-free community.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are an estimated three million people in the U.S. suffering from celiac disease \u2013 that\u2019s one in 133\u2013 yet less than 200,000 are diagnosed. Through partnerships with gluten-free organizations like NFCA, Rudi\u2019s Gluten-Free Bakery hopes to elevate the level of education and awareness on celiac disease and gluten-intolerance, as well as the gluten-free diet, through local and national initiatives that drive hope for a better, brighter future, like the Spread the Bread program.<\/p>\n

Rudi\u2019s Gluten-Free Bakery breads are available nationally at natural foods stores and select mainstream supermarkets. For more information, visit http:\/\/www.rudisglutenfree.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
