About Us
We each are both celiacs, after years of misdiagnosing!
Our experiences with celiac disease are unique, but they led us both down the same path and with the same mission–to raise awareness for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity! We collaborated on this website with a mutual diehard attitude to help others become better informed and encourage them to take their health matters into their own hands if they find themselves without answers. Read why!
I am Tina Turbin, the mom. I never gave up hope trying to find out the cause of my many digestive and nerve troubles, making it extremely difficult for me to pursue my creative work as a multi-award-winning children’s author let alone raising my three children. I had to finally take matters into my own hands when I came across a new, mysterious word on the internet– “celiac.” The very next day I demanded to be tested for celiac disease. The results were hands down positive. Feeling so much better on a gluten-free diet, I never looked back!
I am grateful for gluten-free bloggers and websites and some amazing, well-informed doctors. I wanted to do my part with a blog and website so I could help other families looking for answers. There is no better partner than a young daughter with her own experience of many years of misdiagnosing, hormonal troubles, and tears, coupled with the same sincere care for others as mine.
GlutenFreeHelp.info was initially born with an ambitious mission: to make the terms celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, gluten-free, and even grain-free known in every household worldwide. Within a short time “the people” voted our GlutenFreeHelp.info the #2 .info site in the world over 6.7 million others!
I am Miranda Jade Turbin, now 22 years old with18 years behind me of misdiagnoses before I also finally took matters into my own hands. After an initial “negative” test result, it was later confirmed that I was indeed celiac. After going gluten-free, all my physical troubles vanished within 2 weeks! Knowing I wasn’t the only celiac to suffer numerous misdiagnoses I knew I had to help others of all ages.
Teaming up with my mom was a natural course. I too began researching and writing on the subjects of celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and the gluten-free diet, contributing articles and researching for our eBooks, conducting gluten-free product reviews, and developing many gluten-free and grain-free recipes of my own on behalf of GlutenFreeHelp.info.
Has our hard work paid off?
With our nonstop hard work and teamwork, we have turned GlutenFreeHelp.info into a leading resource for the gluten-free community and the #2 .info website in the world. This wouldn’t have been possible without the contributions of many health-conscious and gluten-free companies, restaurants, bakeries, wonderful doctors and nutritionists, or without the invaluable help from our “testers” in Los Angeles and Florida who assisted us with gluten-free product research and product testing.
Delayed diagnosis can put celiacs at risk for serious complications and health issues such as infertility, bone loss, diabetes, certain types of cancer and much more. Please share our website and blog with friends and family to help spread the word, sign up for our free newsletter, and keep up with our Gluten Free Help Blog for the latest news, gluten-free product reviews, delicious gluten-free recipes, and more!
We wish you a very healthy and high quality of life! We all deserve it.
Tina Turbin and Miranda Jade Turbin
