My Recap Of The Gluten Free Living Conference 2014

This weekend I attended the Gluten-Free Living Conference and fortunately felt much better this time compared to the expo in St. Pete. I got to meet tons of bloggers as well as try many new gluten-free products I have not seen before. If you've been following me then you will see that I've gotten a lot of gluten-free products for me to share with you. In this post I'll be sharing with you all the people I met as well as the gluten-free giveaways I will be hosting soon. I'm giving away everything I got at the expo so look for a lot of stuff for you to have the chance to win!

Who I met and got to see again:

There were so many bloggers at this expo that I was not expecting to meet. I know that if I didn't go then I would of been very jealous! I got to meet all the people mentioned below:

• Scott from GlutenDude
• Jules from Jules Gluten Free
• Andrew from Taste Guru
• Alicia from Celiac Central
• Chrissy from Glam Without Gluten
• Kathleen from Celiac Baby
• Alexis from GF in Orlando
• Joe from GF Joe
• Michael from GfreePhilly
• Amy from the Healthy Apple
• Amy L from The Savvy Celiac
• Andrea from Rocking GF Gal
• Sarah from GFDFWDW
• Jennifer from Go To Guide
• Amy R from Gluten Free Living Magazine

There were a lot of other people I got to meet while I was there and I felt very happy to be in a place where people knew me and understood my health conditions. It was great to be able to connect with a lot of the bloggers from the gluten-free community as well as many others in person. All the people who worked the booths at the expo were very awesome to talk too as well and I definitely enjoyed being apart of this event. This was the biggest expo I've gone to so far and I'm hopeful I can go to many more in the future to meet more of you.

Best quotes from the speakers:

How much gluten is too much for celiacs? - Dr. Fasano 

"We are not born celiacs but rather with the genetic predisposition."  – Dr. Fasano

“Don't give up on cooking and don't give up on going out to eat!”  – Lagasse Girls

“If you're still not feeling well on a strict gluten-free diet then you should go back to your physician to test for other issues.”  – Pam King

“The risk of developing celiac is higher if delivered by c-section.”  – Dr. Fasano

“There is currently no validated test to check for gluten sensitivity.”  – Dr. Fasano

“Around 10,000 years ago, ancestors began ingesting gluten; we as a species weren't able to digest gluten”  – Dr. Fasano
