About the journal

An independent, clinician-reviewed journal on Celiac Disease.

glutenfreelivingco was founded by a small group of clinicians, dietitians, cooks, and patients who could not find the publication they wanted to read. Most of what is written about Celiac Disease falls into two camps — clinical literature that is unreadable for the people who need it, or wellness writing that drifts away from the evidence. We wanted something between the two.

Our standards

How we work.

  • Clinician review

    Every article that discusses symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, or risk is reviewed by a board-certified gastroenterologist or a registered dietitian before publication.

  • Source-led writing

    Claims are tied to peer-reviewed literature, guideline bodies (NIH, ESPGHAN, ACG), or the lived experience of named patients — never to anonymous web sources.

  • No sponsored content

    We do not run paid posts, affiliate placements, or sponsored recipes. We do not accept payment from food, supplement, or pharmaceutical brands.

  • Recipes are tested

    Every recipe is developed and tested in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, with attention to cross-contamination at each step.

  • Corrections, openly

    If we get something wrong we fix it, date the correction, and link to the prior version. Email corrections@glutenfreelivingco.com.

  • Updated, not abandoned

    Clinical articles are re-reviewed at least every 18 months. The review date appears at the top of each piece.

Editorial team

The people behind every article.

A small standing team — clinicians, dietitians, and cooks — who write, review, and test everything we publish. Bylines are real; the work is theirs.

Medical review

What "medically reviewed" means here.

When an article carries a "Medically reviewed by" line, a board-certified clinician — usually a gastroenterologist or a registered dietitian — has read the piece end-to-end and verified every clinical claim against current guidelines from the American College of Gastroenterology, the European Society for the Study of Coeliac Disease, and the relevant peer-reviewed literature.

Reviewers can request changes, add caveats, or block publication. Their name and the date of review appear in the byline. Reviews are repeated at least every 18 months, and any clinically meaningful update triggers a re-review.

None of our reviewers receive payment from food manufacturers, supplement brands, or pharmaceutical companies operating in the celiac space. Full disclosures are listed on each contributor's card above.

A note on what this is not

Editorial guidance, not medical advice.

Nothing here replaces a conversation with a clinician who knows you. If you suspect you have Celiac Disease, please consult a doctor — and please do not go gluten-free before you are tested.
