My own experience, combined with my
professional background, made me
realize I could really do something
helpful for people.
your physical environment at home to ensure
you are avoiding cross-contamination. I help
you read labels, learn about new products,
navigate the grocery store, figure out meals,
plan outings, and talk to others about your
needs. It’s a steep learning curve!
What makes your service
different?
I developed Gluten-Free Boutique as a
unique nutrition counselling service specially
dedicated to gluten-free patients and their
families. With my own child gluten-free, I feel
this gives me a particularly unique, practical
and compassionate perspective about this
serious diet.
Any last comments…
Because there are so many gluten-free
products on the market today, and lots of
information on the internet about gluten-free
diets, it might seem like you can skip getting
professional help to support your efforts. But
a gluten-free diet is not necessarily a healthy
diet, and maintaining a healthy diet, especially
when you restrict a whole food category, is
harder (and perhaps more important) than it
seems, so I strongly encourage people to get
proper diet advice. I also commonly see
people who think they have their gluten-free
diet under control, only they don’t realize
they are doing some significant things
wrong, derailing their efforts!
Lastly, if you’re going gluten-free, I really urge
people to join the Canadian Celiac
Association. You don’t need to have Celiac
disease to do so. It’s for everyone who is
“gluten-concerned”. It’s inexpensive and you
get a ton of information. Also, if you have a
gluten-free child, the Association offers a kid’s
club in most big cities across Canada,
providing a great networking/support base
for your child.
