Welcome to Gluten Free PhD
Where Real Life Meets Real Gluten-Free Living
Hey there, I’m Jeff—dad, researcher, cook-by-necessity, and yes… I really do have a PhD. But trust me, nothing prepared me for what it’s like to raise a child with celiac disease.
💡 This Blog Was Born Out of Survival
When my daughter was diagnosed with celiac at age 3, our whole world changed. Overnight, food became complicated, labels became terrifying, and eating out felt like a minefield. And I was doing it all solo—with no manual, no support group, and a ton of fear.
Sound familiar? You’re in the right place.
👨👧 Why I Started This Blog
There’s a lot of information out there, but not much real-life guidance. I wanted to create the resource I wish I had at the beginning:
- ✔️ Straightforward answers
- ✔️ Real reviews by a real family
- ✔️ Recipes that don’t taste like cardboard
- ✔️ Science that makes sense
- ✔️ Parenting support that goes beyond “just don’t eat gluten”
