Food allergies can make life difficult, especially if members of the family have multiple allergies. With Brittany’s diagnosis of Celiac several years ago and then Jenna’s recent diagnosis of allergies to dairy, soy, oats and, strangely, pears, cooking can be a challenge. I am always looking for new food products that make my time in the kitchen easier. If you are the same way, then I have found the perfect event to attend; the Gluten Free and Allergy Friendly Expo. Founded in 2007, this expo is dedicated to helping those with Celiac, gluten sensitivities, auto-immune and inflammatory diseases.
The Gluten Free and Allergy Friendly Expo is the USA’s largest gluten free and allergy friendly expos and is held in 8 locations around the country, ranging from California to New Jersey. I’ll be attending the upcoming Expo in Atlanta on May 20th and 21st and hope, if you’re in the area, you’ll join me!
What’s Happening at The Gluten Free & Allergy Friendly Expo
* Classes and Educational Sessions held by Gluten Free & Allergy Free professionals. I’m looking forward to attending all of them, but especially “How to Convert Recipes to Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free” by Amy Fothergill, author of WarmKitchen.
* Exhibits from over 100 Gluten Free Vendors, including opportunities for sampling and coupons.
* Discounted Products available for purchase.
* A chance to meet your favorite vendors, authors and bloggers.

Would love to go to find out new products that my wheat allergic child could enjoy.
I love coupons! Save a coin! LOL If I were in the ATL area, I would definitely consider.
That is pretty awesome. It’s perfect for people who are following a gluten free diet or those who have food allergies and are under a strict diet. It would be nice to know what products are safe to eat and have in your home.
I didn’t even know there was such a thing! This would be an awesome expo to attend!
That sounds like a great expo to attend to. I wish there’s an expo like that here too.
Oh how I wish I lived closer to this Expo! I would be there in a heartbeat. I run a school lunch program and feed some gluten free children, so this would be so helpful.
I had no clue that there was a Gluten-free Expo. It sounds like a great resource.
That’s awesome that they have a Gluten-Free Expo. There are so many people today who have to go Gluten-Free.
My family and I tolerate gluten in our diets, however, when it comes to allergies, that is a different story. I am happy there is an expo for gluten free and allergy free items. This is going to be a big help educating people who suffer from sensitivities and how they can make their lives a little easier. I only wish I lived close to Atlanta. I’d love to attend this expo!
There are so many people now who are gluten-free! This is some great information and looks like a good giveaway!
I am so happy that they are doing an expo like this! I’m not far from here so I am going to have to check it out.
We DO have one or two food allergies we have to watch out for and it’s always nice to learn more in depth about them and our options.
We don’t have any food allergies in our family. However, this is nice information to learn because my kids are involved with sports and we have to bring snacks.
This is great info to have if you work at a school as well. Many food allergies out there these days.
allergies are a real pain in the butt, so I’m glad that there are options out there to help many different kinds of allergy types… my family members all seem to have different allergies to things and it does take time to come up with things we all can eat… thanks for the post!
I like the concept of this expo. It will help people with special diets to learn more about their choices. Great event too for parents with kids with allergies. This would really be a fun educational experience,
I wish that I lived closer. Everyone says that I should try a glueten free diet since I deal with chronic pain. I just don’t know that I could give up my carbs.
What a great-sounding expo; I am sure this will help get the word out there about gluten-free diet benefits.
My dad has been on an almost-free type gluten free diet and has lost a lot of weight.
How did I not know that this was a thing?! This is so close to me and I suffer from Celiac. I totally want to go!
What an awesome expo! Its great to see more being done surrounded GF/allergies as this is something that is becoming more common these days.
It such an interesting topic! I would love to know more about this.

This sounds like an amazing event. I love attending expos, but I’ve never been to one like this.
How awesome that there is an expo for people with allergies and gluten sensitivities! i wish I was closer to Atlanta to attend because it would be super informative!
I have a friend who is GF, I’ll have to tell her about this. Sounds like an awesome expo!
I have allergies too. I have to watch what I eat. I don’t know that I am allergic to gluten, but I do know that certain foods do make me sick, so I do appreciate a recipe that takes allergies into account.
I love seeing more and more gluten-free foods coming to the grocery stores. This sounds like it would be a great place to see what;s new.
I know a lot of people who have gluten allergies. I think it is great that they have an expo like this!
This would be a great Expo for me to go to. I am always looking for gluten free ideas. I will have to see if there will be one in my area.
This is perfect, I have a few friends that should attend this expo. My daughter had an allergy test done today, I get the results in two weeks. I might be digging into this pond very soon.
As a mom of kids with allergies, this looks so informative.
What a wonderful experience for anyone living with a food allergy or intolerance. Thanks to science and technology, I am sure there is always so much new information to learn.
This sounds like a great expo to attend. There are so many people that are gluten free and that have different allergies that this would be perfect to check out.
This should be a good time and it will be interesting to see what kinds of creative gluten free recipes and products are showcased. Amy Fothergill’s talk sounds like it will be interesting!
I am very grateful the we have no food allergies in our family. I know several families who have some type of allergies they have to cook around. Nice there are options out there to choose from.
I wish I lived closer to Atlanta for this! I would love to learn more about different kinds of gluten free foods.
If I lived near Atlanta, I’d be entering this! I know several people who are gluten intolerant, so I could really get them some great advice there!
This is and that my friend could use! She has celiac’s disease and is always looking for gluten-free meals it taste great. I’m glad they have conferences like this.
This sounds like an excellent expo for anyone who suffers from allergies. It seems that more and more people are discovering that they have a food allergy one level or another.
Thank you for the information. My husband has a gluten intolerance. This seems like a great learning opportunity.
That is so great! I love that they have informative classes and demonstrations there, as well. It sounds like a good time.
I’m glad to see that the Gluten Free and Allergy Friendly Expo is coming to Atlanta. My youngest grand daughter has the worst food allergies of anyone I know.
That sounds like an awesome expo. More and more people are finding out that they have some level of food allergies these days.
I know, right? They are popping up more and more these days.
This expo sounds amazing. I am so happy that you are helping to spread the word to people who might not know about this so they can go!!
