Welcome to Celiac Culture!
My name is Kristina, and I created Celiac Culture to bring awareness and light to celiac disease and the gluten free lifestyle. Celiac disease can be challenging, and it is something that affects every decision that we make in life. Essentially, it becomes our norm.
Instead of viewing celiac disease as an inconvenience, I view it as a culture — following crucial habits and making them enjoyable by further learning about Celiac Disease, growing as a community, and getting creative with gluten free food.
“THE FIRST WEALTH IS HEALTH.”
What is Celiac Disease?
