Jennifer Fitzpatrick
Jen Fitzpatrick is a celiac coach and blogger based in Boston. She was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2009 with little help from her doctor except, "just go gluten free." After 10 years of sickness and struggle, she took a sabbatical to travel the world and started a blog to document her adventures. Her blog has since grown to become a top-rated resource in the celiac community with gluten free recipes, travel guides and resources. She coaches people to become confident celiac advocates and enjoy a life full of gluten free food, travel and fun.
