Founder & Travel Advisor
Caribbean, Mexico, Disney World, and Cruises

In 2018, I was diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease affecting my lungs. Determined to take control, I worked with my doctors and a nutritionist, ultimately cutting out gluten, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol, and focusing on whole foods. It was the best decision I’ve ever made and I am now in remission.

Today, I stick to a strict gluten-free diet, though I occasionally indulge in treats (like Sweet Loren’s cookies!). I’m passionate about finding great destinations and resorts and love helping fellow gluten-free travelers plan their trips.

My goal is to visit as many resorts as possible to see firsthand what gluten-free options they offer and to understand their training and processes for preventing cross-contact. Since I started Gluten-Free Vacations in 2021, I have visited over 60 resorts and travel to the Caribbean, Mexico, Disney, and go on cruises multiple times a year.

If you're planning a trip to the Caribbean, Mexico, Disney, or a cruise, I can guide you through every step, making sure your vacation is perfectly planned.

Meet Noreen

Travel Coordinator

I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2013, after many years of stomach issues. Six months after my diagnosis, my 4-year-old daughter was also diagnosed. As someone who has always loved to travel, I wondered how I would be able to eat safely while traveling.

What I discovered is that many countries are easier to navigate with celiac disease than the U.S., due to their food labeling laws. 

My travels have included Ireland and the UK, as well as several countries in Europe.  Ireland is my all-time favorite destination, but truthfully, there are a few places I wouldn’t be excited to visit.

Disney World has also become a family favorite; it made us feel normal again after our celiac diagnosis.

In 2022, I launched Gluten Free Life and Travels to share tips, reviews, and celiac-safe destinations. My blog features global interviews through Celiac Around the World, and my dream is to visit everyone I’ve connected with.

I never want anyone with celiac disease or gluten intolerance to be limited in their ability to see the world, which is why I am passionate about helping gluten-free travelers.
