Hi, I’m Julie and I created this site to better understand Celiac disease, Gluten Intolerance and Gluten Sensitivity. By sharing my story on the trials, tribulations, triumphs and successes of the gluten-free life, I hope to bring awareness to Celiac disease and the gluten-free diet, help society to accept a gluten-free lifestyle as something that’s good and connect and share with others who are experiencing the same things I am in the hopes that we can all get better together. Please read, comment and share your stories and questions. Have a great day!
