About Me

Hi!  I’m Mary Blackburn, author of EasyGlutenFreeLiving.  In case you are wondering what gives me the right to write about gluten free living, I have been Gluten Free for over 20 years.

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease back in 1987 when my daughter was in 3rd grade.  That was back in the early days of diagnosis, and there really wasn’t much information for me at that time. 

Small support groups were forming, but as far as gluten free food, there wasn’t alot of it out there.  And what was out there pretty much tasted like saw dust.

Before I was diagnosed, I dropped down to 100 pounds, unexplicably.  I was always a skinny kind of gal,   but for a 5′10 1/2,  28 year old, mother of 2, that was just way too thin.  Not to mention that I was really not feeling very well either.

After getting on a gluten free diet, I was able to gain back weight and felt better than I had for years.

My hope is that with this website I can help to educate people about Celiac Disease and offer helpful information and recipes.
