About me

My dearest GFFs & GFs (Gluten-Free Friends & Gluten-Friends), food lovers from all over:

I am a celiac who is actively trying out new foods on a daily basis across the globe, together with the loving support of family, friends, the gluten-free community and you!

With our cause we bring more awareness about the disease to the table, and introduce each other to the gluten-free possibilities that are out there. As a starter, read one of my favourite blogs and tell us your story.

It only takes a tiny crumb of gluten

to start a crumbling journey all over again.

Not an allergy.

In Dutch culture, celiac disease is often mistaken for an allergy. It is an auto-immune disease.

An allergy

The body has a strong reaction to a specific food or substance, such as pollen or dust mites. It doesn't necessarily do permanent damage, and the reaction is usually reversible.

Celiac disease

When a celiac eats gluten, the body attacks its own cells and damages the lining of the small intestine, the part that takes the nutrients out of our food. The decline starts slowly, which is why it so often goes unnoticed before a diagnosis. The only answer is a diet entirely free from gluten.

Together with friends, family and you, we raise awareness for celiac disease, an invisible auto-immune disease, and for everybody who feels overlooked, misdiagnosed, or not seen or heard. Read about the celiac cause

The colourful patterned menu of Nuna Raymi in Cusco.

Cusco, Nuna Raymi

Travelling to this city was one of the most remarkable journeys of my life. Cusco sits at 3,399 metres, and for such a small and remote city it has lots of options to eat gluten-free. They take cross contamination, and even other allergies, into account.

“Nuna Raymi” comes from Quechua, the language of the Incas, and means “Celebration of the Soul”. From the Nuna Raymi menu
