My Gluten-Free Journey: 45 Years of Life with Celiac Disease
Hi, I’m Erin, founder of Gluten-Free Globetrotter! I have lots of new readers here and it’s been a minute since I posted to my blog.
This summer, I celebrated 45 years of living with celiac disease. I mark July 9, 1981, as my celiac anniversary because that was the first time “celiac” appeared in my pediatric medical charts. Whoa, let that sink in for a minute. Four and a half decades of living gluten-free with celiac disease. I literally have a lifetime of experience with celiac disease and I have been sharing it through my blogs, social media platforms and support groups for more than twenty years.
Gluten-Free Globetrotter Named One of the 2026 Top Travel Massive Creator to Watch
I am incredibly excited to announce that I have been named one of the Top Travel Massive Creators to Watch in 2026, presented by Stay22.
Drawn from a global network of thousands of talented individuals, this list highlights creators who are building engaged audiences. It recognizes those who collaborate with brands and destinations to tell stories that inspire people to pack their bags and book their next adventure.
I have been a proud member of the Travel Massive community for ten years. Because of that, it is a true honor to be recognized alongside my travel peers, mentors, and fellow creators. Through this platform, I have connected with wonderful travel professionals at local New York City meetups and online across the globe.
Bringing Celiac Travel to the Mainstream
This recognition feels especially meaningful because it comes from the broader travel industry rather than just the gluten-free community.
Sharing my celiac travel experiences with the world is deeply important to me. While fellow gluten-free travelers understand the nuances and challenges of navigating the world with celiac disease, those outside our community often do not.
My goal is to help normalize travel for people living with autoimmune diseases. I want to show that our dietary restrictions are a medical necessity, not a choice or an annoyance. Awards like this one are so valuable because they bring much-needed visibility to celiac travel, proving that we can explore the world safely and confidently.
Thank you all for being part of this journey with me. Stay tuned for more Gluten-Free Globetrotter travel adventures..
