We’ve touched on vegetarians dating by diet, but now there’s a social networking site for gluten free singles and single celiacs. GlutenFreeDate.com is 100% percent free and was created to give wheat-free restricted dieters the opportunity to meet others who follow a similar diet and lifestyle. The community offers shared pics, ecards, forums, and a video service.
Gluten free is in and hot! I was diagnosed as a celiac a few years ago and saw that other people with restricted diets had dating sites / social networking. For example, there are multiple dating sites for vegetarians. Yet with an estimated 1 in 133 American with celiac disease, I thought why not start a dating site for celiacs? Also, there are many undiagnosed celiacs. Actually, most celiacs are undiagnosed. Doctors are becoming more aware, thereby, diagnosing celiac is happening in record numbers.
Celebrities like Elisabeth Hasselbeck from The View have become spokespeople for the allergy which makes the trend even hotter. In her new book, The G-Free Diet, Elisabeth gives her perspective on the trend.
