Hi, I am Anjali, the founder of this site and a year-long celiac:)
Now that you have a celiac diagnosis, you are likely to have a lot of questions about your condition. Your doctor may, apart from telling you not to consume any gluten, have also referred you to a nutritionist. A dietitian/ nutritionist can be vital to your journey to a gluten-free life, so make the most of such advice, if you have it.
We are here to help you clear a path through the deluge of information you will need to navigate to return yourself to a healthy state.
