Welcome to Confident Celiac Community
Your community-based membership to eat anywhere gluten-free.
The supportive & FUN membership to ADVOCATE for your diet so you have more FREEDOM with celiac disease.
The membership where you travel & dine out every month, taking your social life from sitting on the couch rewatching The Office alone on a Friday night with a bag of Snyder's GF pretzels 💔
To spontaneously meeting your colleagues for The Office-themed trivia at a wine & cheese bar at the last minute. 🍷🧀 🎉
The only community that takes you from anxious thoughts of “What will I eat” when you get invited to a party, staying home to avoid the social discomfort & then feeling 10x worse 😩
To “Yeah, I’d love to join! What’s on the menu?” where you show up, talking about the food is EASY & you enjoy yourself - WITHOUT feeling guilty about what you did or didn't eat 🔥
That’s who you’ll become as a member of CCC.
Here inside the Confident Celiac Community, we say goodbye to overwhelm & awkwardness.
🙄 SICK of people not getting cross-contact & that your gluten-free diet isn't a fad? We're so done with that, too friend.
😳 PANIC that every time you gather the courage to say "I have a gluten allergy" the server comes back & says "We can't guarantee X is gluten-free" and you're like "Sh*t, now what?!" (Yep, totally had that happen!)
😡 OVER traveling & planning every single freaking thing down to the last granola bar because if you don't, you'll end up starving? And there's no WAY you can pick a random restaurant.. Been there, done that, and unfortunately, have the t-shirt to prove it (And I've got a better way for you)
😩 DONE sitting in your hotel room after your work conference, checking every possible app for a restaurant that *looks* safe, but then being SO mentally tapped you say "It's fine" and go to the Italian restaurant, pick at your sad bowl of steamed broccoli while you watch your colleagues devour creamy fettuccine alfredo?
All of the above?
WE 👏 DON'T 👏 KNOW 👏 HER.
It’s time to step into your CELIAC ADVOCATE 📣 era and say hello to more freedom & FUN in your gluten-free life.
It's time to...
Take VACATIONS to another country with your best friend
Attend birthday DINNERS with your partner's family
Go to PARTIES with food feeling prepared
The kind of support that CANNOT be found from your family who eat gluten or a Facebook Group/Reddit thread. 🚫
The kind of support that takes you from feeling left out & overwhelmed in this gluten-filled world to a STRONG & CAPABLE celiac advocate ready for ANYTHING.
The kind of support that gives you back a taste of your pre-celiac life so you feel NORMAL again.
The kind of support that helps you find YOURSELF.
Whether you realize it or not, the reason you feel overwhelmed is that you're not speaking up.
And the cherry on top of this vanilla cupcake you can't have is you're the only one dealing with this.
Because while other people might be sympathetic of your gluten-free diet...
They don't really get it.
👉They don't get how awkward it is to ask for someone to change their gloves.
👉They don't get how uncomfy it is to always have this spotlight of attention on you.
👉They don't know how difficult it is to eat this way!
But the Confident Celiac Community is here because we DO get it.
We understand you on a level your partner, friends, and family never will.
Because we have celiac disease too.
So if you want the FREEDOM to...
Attend a bachelorette weekend instead of being in the "what will I eat" spiral
Dine out in multiple restaurants and comfortably ask your questions
Feel calm and at peace in your celiac life every single day...
Then you gotta stop doing this all on your own, friend!
Trust me when I say, the process to get your freedom back with celiac disease is as simple as 1, 2, 3.
Step 1: You connect.
You connect with other celiacs, share your diagnosis story, celebrate your wins, and meet others like you so you don't feel so alone.
Step 2: You practice.
You utilize scripts, trainings, and mindset exercises to work on using your voice, one food situation at a time, so asking for accommodations & help doesn't feel so hard.
Step 3: You advocate.
You feel empowered by speaking up for yourself. Having other celiacs to connect with every day makes it routine, so you keep doing it. Traveling, dining out, & socializing become easier. As you keep advocating, you help not only yourself stay safe from gluten- but celiacs everywhere.
Because when you speak up for yourself, you speak up for others.
You spread awareness & make this gluten-filled world SAFER for all of us.
And that's exactly what we do here.
Introducing...
The membership to find freedom & community as you use your voice with celiac disease.
When you join CCC, you'll immediately tap into the group chat with other celiacs, and get instant support so you stop overthinking before it even begins. 💭
We make everything easier from how to order food in a restaurant, how to fly to Europe, and even how to tell your uncle you can’t have his cookies!
Your self-esteem boost will go from “I’m the annoying one!” & avoiding your work lunch convos..
To“Thanks so much for accommodating me, let’s talk about next month’s numbers” while you comfortably eat the frittata your coworker brought in from home.
Because you've already talked to them about how to prepare food safely for you. 😎
Take it from CCC Member Susan, who needed help getting out of her own head:
Or from CCC Member Jessica, who struggled with taking up space:
At this point, you might be saying to yourself…
“Okay, Jen, you're reading my mind!"
Well, yes and no.
Here's the deal friend - I’ve spent countless hours coaching hundreds of celiacs to ditch the overwhelm & anxiety to get back their social lives, freedom, & joy.
This membership was created to make speaking up with celiac easier so you can back to doing what you LOVE.
And it includes only the resources you absolutely need to get you there.
Here's what to expect inside the Confident Celiac Community: (AKA, your next move to say YES to a dinner date with your partner this Saturday night!)

Connection is the key to stopping the overwhelm with celiac disease.
I know because I've been there too.
Hey, I'm Jen!
I'm a celiac coach, blogger & educator who has helped hundreds of celiacs speak up for themselves.
I was diagnosed in 2009 & spent over a decade suffering from anxiety & illness because my doctor told me "Just go gluten-free". I had no clue how celiac would affect me not only physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
But as soon as I found other celiac friends I could relate to, I was able to heal my body, travel the world, and comfortably use my voice with pride.
Before joining CCC, Julia was struggling with anxiety, especially in restaurants.
But now, as a CCC member...
Because with the Confident Celiac Community behind you:
You'll finally feel NORMAL again!
You'll have FUN at restaurants, parties, & on vacations.
You'll do MORE of the things you love & see life BEYOND your gluten-free diet.
And you'll see a positive change in YOU.
Not sure if CCC is right for you?
This community is for you if...
💥You are an adult diagnosed with celiac disease and you feel overwhelmed eating outside your home
💥You're tired of feeling left out all the time & you want people to take your diet SERIOUSLY
💥You want to get back to traveling, dining out in restaurants, & socializing - and you're determined to not let gluten stop you!
💥You're ready to start feeling more peaceful every day & feel like yourself once again
Take it from our members, who are obsessed with the CCC way:
Alyssa is an active concert-goer who just returned from a gluten-free honeymoon in Argentina...
Kierstin travels every month to find gluten-free food, including Las Vegas, Florence, London, Miami, Austin, and NYC...
Ashley is a hiker and nature lover who is a passionate advocate for local celiacs in her area...
Mary Jo is a social butterfly who attends dinners, showers, and holidays celebrating her gluten-free food.
What's the investment?
Your investment is $65/month and there is zero long-term commitment. If you're not sure this space is for you, try it out for a month! You can always cancel if it's not a good fit.
But I'm 99% sure that you'll see a positive change in your daily life with celiac disease after just 1 Zoom call.
You have two choices for how your life with celiac disease can look every single day.
You can continue doing what you are now.
You can stay silent. Feel overwhelmed & isolated. Keep missing out on meals, experiences, & memories.
OR...
You can do something today that will radically change your day-to-day celiac life for the better.
You can choose freedom.
You can choose support.
You can choose friendship.
You can choose FUN.
You don't just have to survive your gluten-free diet. You get to THRIVE.
