Gluten Free And Allergy Friendly Expo, Atlanta

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!
