Living with celiac disease
Before the adventure,
there’s the planning.
Georges lives with celiac disease. He knows how challenging it can be to go on a trip, join a hike, spend a weekend camping or simply travel somewhere new.
There is the place you want to go. Then there is everything you need to work out before you can enjoy being there. The food you can bring. The kitchen you might share. The conversations about what you need, and why it matters.
A plan that sounds simple can take a lot of thought. And when you are the person doing that extra planning, it can feel like you are doing it alone.
What if the people
you made plans with
already understood?
A little less to explain.
A lot more to share.
That is why Georges started GF Friends: to help people find each other, make plans together and build friendships around a shared understanding of gluten-free life.
Someone to talk through a trip with. Friends to plan a hike or a camping weekend. Travel companions to discuss sharing accommodation, a kitchen and the practical details that matter to each person.
The hope is simple. Sharing the planning can make it easier to take part. And a conversation that begins with something you have in common can grow into a friendship with so much more to it.
