The Celiac Singles Scene
Posted on 10:58 am by Gluten Free Guy
Is there a gluten free singles scene? There should be. I can't imagine anything more frustrating than trying to explain the implications of celiac disease during the early stages of a dating relationship.
This is my third attempt to write on this subject. Unfortunately, my second article did nothing but announce that the site that I publicized in the first article had gone out of business!
UPDATE: I FINALLY FOUBND A WEB SITE FOR GLUTEN FREE SINGLES. CLICK HERE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE.
I tried it again this morning and discovered two "match up" sites that allow you to use "celiac" as a search term when seeking possible contacts. The sites are called "Chronic Babe", which works with people with all chronic diseases, and "OK Cupid" which probably does the same thing.
I did not pursue the matter further. Both sites require that you register. I guard my privacy carefully. I've been happily married since before the internet was invented and would not recognize a quality dating site if I saw one.
On the other hand, I would love to help out. If you check out one of the sites I mentioned, please e-mail so that I can relay your impressions to my visitors. If anyone is interested in starting a site, let me know so that I can help give your effort the publicity that you need and deserve. Sorry I can't do more — that would require 21st century dating experience (which I definately lack) as well as computer skills (that I probably lack). To e-mail me, click on the first item in the middle sidebar.

Matt Molina :
I accept your challengeJ. Introducing “GlutenFreeDate.com”; thanks for help spreading the word. GlutenFreeDate.com is a singles site for celiacs and people choosing to live a gluten free lifestyle. You’re correct; there is a need for this kind of website. The site is fully functional and I will be adding more content soon. Users can post video/audio/pictures/blog/forum/and internal chat. I discovered I was a Celiac a few years ago. Thinking back, I had always wished there was a celiac social networking site like this. Anyway, I plan on keeping GlutenFreeDate.com free of charge and online for the celiac community as long as I possibly can. You can contact me at gfdadmin@glutenfree.com
Thanks again!
