Gluten Free Resources
The gluten-free community on the web is vast, diverse, and ready to help. The bloggers, organizations, message boards, and other gluten free resources listed below were curated so you know you’re not living in a bubble, and only eating a diet of raw fruits and vegetables.
Our hope is that you find the same comfort as our founder Jane Trygar did, when she was diagnosed with celiac disease, in the community of individuals who have done their research (often using themselves and their own experiences as their “laboratory”) and blazed the gluten-free path before you.
Whether you want to know how to ask your doctor for a diagnosis with a blood test to measure anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTGA) and anti-endomysium antibody (EMA) levels or you need a delicious gluten-free waffle recipe, you’re a quick search away from finding what you need to make you feel better – inside and out.
