Hello Reader, Fourteen years into living with celiac disease, and somehow, this never gets easier. Iām 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 wasnāt food for me. Iāve 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. Itās such a strange feeling. On the one hand, Iām so proud of what Iāve created and curatedā¦ and on the other, it feels like Iām putting a piece of myself out there, wondering what everyone will think. If youāve ever created something and shared it publicly, you probably know exactly what I mean. That saidā¦ this May box? Sheās a keeper!! I leaned more savory this month after last monthās...

Hello Reader, I do my best to keep you informed on all things gluten-freeā¦ 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&Mās products in New Zealandāincluding Peanut, Milk Chocolate, and Minisāto include gluten-containing ingredients (specifically barley malt extract). Theyāre working to spread the word, even sponsoring a post with @coeliacnewzealand to notify the community (more likeā¦ 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...

Hello Reader, Next month, Love Me Gluten Free turns two. And weāve come a long way since those humble beginnings in my basement, where friends and family helped me pack our very first boxes. Remember my first box ever? It was themed "Love From Colorado" and featured brands from my home state. This business hasnāt been easy, but it has been incredibly rewarding. Iām grateful to every single one of you who has supported this journey, whether youāve purchased a box, followed along through these...
