How This Website Came To Be

Gluten Free – The Way To Be began with the journey of a mother whose son was diagnosed with celiac disease at just 2½ years old. One year later, she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease herself.
Suddenly, gluten-free living wasn’t simply a choice—it became a way of life.
Through research, education, plenty of trial and error, finding gluten-free food that actually tasted good, and staying consistent, she learned something incredibly important: a gluten-free life didn’t have to be a limited life.
As she and her son became more knowledgeable and confident, they were able to live full, active lives and do just about everything they wanted to do.
They didn’t just live gluten free. They thrived gluten free.

Vision

 Wanting to help others on similar journeys—whether because of celiac disease, autoimmune conditions, gluten sensitivity, or other reasons for avoiding gluten—she created Gluten Free – The Way To Be.
Her vision was to bring practical gluten-free information, resources, recipes, and real-life guidance together in one place, making it easier for others to learn how to live gluten free with confidence.


That vision led to the creation of the Thrive Gluten Free 6-Step Program, designed to take the overwhelm out of getting started and teach the practical skills needed for everyday gluten-free life.


She created homestyle gluten-free meal plans and recipes to help make cooking familiar, approachable, and delicious. She began sharing favorite gluten-free products to help others avoid wasting money on foods that simply don’t taste good. And through the blog, she shares lessons learned from raising a child with celiac disease, watching him navigate gluten-free life as he grew up, and from her own experiences living with autoimmune disease.
It all comes back to one goal: to give you the knowledge, tools, and encouragement to build a gluten-free life you can enjoy.
