About Me
Welcome!
Curious as to who I am and why I have this site? Read on . . .
I realized the birth of my second child in 2002 triggered my celiac disease and my symptoms. It took four years of horrible migraine-like headaches, fatigue, unexplained weight gain, bloating, canker sores, wired joint pain, “brain fog”/ impaired memory and a depressed mood before I finally requested a celiac blood panel and EGD, which confirmed my diagnosis of celiac disease in April, 2006. I was shocked! How could this happen? I have one younger sister with celiac disease, but because my symptoms were atypical I didn’t even think to get tested for it.
As I started to explore gluten-free products and options, I hated the fact that I wasted so much money on products that didn’t even taste good. So I turned online to search for suggestions from real people about what gluten free products were worth my time and money. I admit, I am not the best cook, and definately not a “foodie”, even though sometimes I wish I was. I needed some reliable mixes and products to help me on my gluten free journey since spending hours planning and cooking everything from scratch just isn’t an option every day.
When I searched for gluten free product reviews, I wasted so much time surfing through so much “clutter” - long personal stories, and personal blogs that were fun to read, but they did not have the product information I was searching for. . . and many the product sales sites I found only had very limited “products reviews.’ And for some reason, all of the reviews were positive. (Hmmmmmm, interesting.) I really felt frustrated! I was too busy to waste my time wading through endless pages of gluten-free related info, only to come away with minimal product information.
I wanted to find a clear cut site, a site that wouldn’t try to tell me a food was good just so I’d buy it. I wanted a site that would point blank tell me what was good or not. Since I couldn’t find one, I decided to create my own- thus, glutenfreefoodreviews was born.
Take your time exploring the reviews, knowing that you get a straight-forward, honest opinion of what foods are out there- no extra clutter.
And don’t be shy- add your own opinions and thoughts as well. The more”real” reviews on gluten-free products, the better!
