The Gluten Free Singles Scene

GLUTEN FREE

UPDATED 4/1/07 I recently discovered a site called celiacsingles.com. I’ve been happily married since before the internet existed, so I really don’t know how sites like this work for the gluten intolerant (or anyone else for that matter). Obviously, there is a need. I wonder how I would go about maintaining my gluten free diet while in a dating relationship. Since I have absolutely no qualifications for evaluating web sites for singles, I hope that some qualified person will step forward and leave a comment. I’ll make sure that your ideas are published.

UPDATE: 02/11/08 THE SITUATION IS NOT HOPELESS. I JUST HEARD ABOUT A NEW SITE FOR GLUTEN FREE SINGLES. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE.

UPDATE 4/1/07 Unfortunately, this site went out of business on March 31, 2007. My first thought was simply to delete this article, but I thought better of it. I’ve been married 38 years so I can hardly imagine myself dating, much less explaining celiac disease to a romantic interest. This site addressed a serious problem that deserves attention. As of now, I know of no sites for celiac singles. I hope someone accepts the challenge of starting one. I’ll help you with publicity and in any other way that I can. I can certainly help you "get the word out". E-mail me at gfceliac@gmail.com or leave a comment at the end of this (or any other) article.

    So sad these sites aren’t available anymore. I’ve been diagnosed with Celiac for the past 5 years and after going on a few dates I have thought to myself repeatedly for the past few years how much I wish I could just meet another Celiac. It would make things SO much easier–and there’d be an important bond–a common struggle that is so important I think. Some will disagree and I completely understand–of course I believe that if two people fall in love a diet hardly matters, but Celiac is a daily struggle and truly a far cry from an average person’s eating habits, especially on the run and out in the world. I would like to think my perfect girl would be someone I love to be with, and who also shares the daily challenges to my diet. Here’s hoping :(
