[et_pb_section admin_label="section"] [et_pb_row admin_label="row"] [et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"]By Ashli Findley It was a little over two years ago when Molly Owens was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disease and intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.

Why I Eat This Way: And How Much Better I Feel

By Ashli Findley One of 26-year-old Melissa Copeland’s favorite things to do is try new restaurants with her husband Jordan.
