Meet Katie Wilson — The Voice Behind LGGF

Hi, I’m Katie Wilson — a registered nurse, mom of two, and the founder of LetsGoGlutenFree.com. I started this site after our family was thrown headfirst into the world of gluten-free living, and I quickly realized how hard it was to find trustworthy, practical guidance in one place.

My background in nursing means I approach gluten-free living with both a clinical eye and a real-life perspective. I understand the science behind celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, and I know what it’s like to stand in a grocery store aisle completely overwhelmed. That combination is what drives everything I publish here.

Our story started with a deeply personal experience—a genetic condition and a frightening health scare that turned our lives upside down. When our oldest child was just three months old, what initially seemed like a simple viral illness quickly escalated into a critical health crisis. Despite being a registered nurse with a solid grasp of modern medicine, I felt completely unprepared when our doctors told us we’d need to dramatically overhaul our family’s diet.

Our son at 3 months old

Initially, we thought things would improve after our first hospital visit, but within a month our baby’s condition worsened significantly. He couldn’t keep food down, was projectile vomiting constantly, and we found ourselves rushed to a specialty children’s hospital. After extensive testing and consultations, our son was diagnosed with Cow’s Milk Protein Intolerance (CMPI). His tiny body was suffering—blood in his stool, intestinal damage, and severe nutrient malabsorption.

We were immediately instructed to adopt a strict gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free diet. It felt overwhelming, daunting, and honestly, a bit scary at first. But this experience fueled our determination to learn, adapt, and thrive. We discovered the power of food in healing and transforming health, inspiring us to share our knowledge and experiences to help others navigate similar journeys.

Why We Started LetsGoGlutenFree.com

We started LetsGoGlutenFree.com because we wanted to create the resource we wished we had when we began our gluten-free journey. We know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to sort through the information, find reliable guidance, and figure out what works best for you and your family. Our goal is to offer practical tips, reliable advice, and community support to make gluten-free living accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Seeing the incredible transformation in our own family has ignited a deep desire to help others experience the amazing benefits of gluten-free living. Improved digestion, increased energy, better mood, and overall enhanced health are just some of the benefits we’ve personally witnessed and believe everyone deserves.

We believe everyone deserves a chance to feel their best, and we’re dedicated to simplifying your gluten-free journey, turning challenges into victories, and uncertainty into confidence.
