About the Author

Katie WilsonRN

Katie is the founder of Lets Go Gluten Free and a registered nurse with a decade of experience helping families navigate celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and the gluten-free diet. As a nurse and a mom of two, she knows both the medical side and the real-life side — and she personally researches every food, ingredient, and brand featured on the site.

Katie started Lets Go Gluten Free because she knows firsthand how overwhelming the first weeks can be — the label-reading, the second-guessing, the quiet worry about whether a meal is really safe. She wanted one place where families could find clear, reliable answers instead of stitching them together from a dozen browser tabs and conflicting advice.

That nurse's standard still runs the entire site. Every guide is researched before it's published, every health claim is tied to a credible source, and every product we recommend is one she'd hand to a friend — including the ones we tell you to skip. No hype, no fear-mongering, and no judgment about how you choose to eat. Just practical, accurate help from someone who understands both the clinical side and the dinner-table reality of living gluten-free.

“Going gluten-free is hard enough. My job is to make your next step obvious — and remind you that you've got this.”— Katie Wilson, RN · Founder
