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
