Hello Reader, Welp, May is coming to an end, which means it’s officially a wrap on Celiac Disease Awareness Month. But while the celebrations and celiac content may be slowing down, the gluten-free lifestyle never really gives us a break. ;-) Now it’s time to look ahead to June… and I'm so excited to reveal my June Love Me Gluten Free box next week. ☀️ Please note we have only about 60 boxes left, so be sure to reserve one if you want one. They ship June 2–3. The June box features: 5 brands...

Hello Reader, Memorial Day weekend is here (in the US), which means summer is unofficially kicking off. ☀️ More travel. More BBQs. More road trips. More “let’s just grab something quick” moments. And while summer is supposed to feel fun and carefree, I also know this season can throw a lot of curveballs at those of us living gluten-free. Routines go out the window. You're eating out more. People hand you mystery burgers without buns and say, “I think it’s gluten-free?” So here are a few...

Hello Reader, Fourteen years into living with celiac disease, and somehow, this never gets easier. I’m writing you from a business conference. When I registered, they asked about food allergies, and I clearly marked mine on the form, thinking that would be enough. But once I got here? There really wasn’t food for me. I’ve been in this situation enough times to know what to do. I opened the Find Me Gluten Free app, found a nearby spot with GF options, and left the conference to get myself...

Hello Reader, Every time a new Love Me Gluten Free box goes out into the world, I get a little nervous. It’s such a strange feeling. On the one hand, I’m so proud of what I’ve created and curated… and on the other, it feels like I’m putting a piece of myself out there, wondering what everyone will think. If you’ve ever created something and shared it publicly, you probably know exactly what I mean. That said… this May box? She’s a keeper!! I leaned more savory this month after last month’s...

Hello Reader, I do my best to keep you informed on all things gluten-free… but sometimes what I have to share just plain sucks. This is one of those times. As of April 2026, Mars has updated several M&M’s products in New Zealand—including Peanut, Milk Chocolate, and Minis—to include gluten-containing ingredients (specifically barley malt extract). They’re working to spread the word, even sponsoring a post with @coeliacnewzealand to notify the community (more like… alarm everyone). For now,...

Hello Reader, Happy Friday! Did you see Shark Tank on Wednesday night? Dina Mitchell, the founder of PowerSoul Cafe, a dedicated, certified gluten-free fast-food chain in Las Vegas, pitched her business to the sharks. Spoiler incoming... skip the next few sentences if you don't want to know what happened. . . . Dina was clearly nervous during her pitch. At times, her back-and-forth with the Sharks came across as a bit argumentative, and she struggled to share the numbers they were looking...

Hello Reader, This weekend is my 14th anniversary with celiac disease. BC (before celiac), life was simpler. I ate anything I wanted and never bothered to read a food label. AC (after celiac), I turned into a fervent label reader. I choose carefully what I will and won't eat. And I've learned more than I care to know about ingredients like yeast extract, maltodextrin, and natural flavors. But the honest truth is, as much as having celiac sucks (it does), it's also not that bad. I know I sound...
