Your Gluten Free restaurant guide Brought to you by: EDITION ur
A Note fromrachael I am the founder of GlutenFreedomInc.com and have been gluten-free for 4+ years now. I became passionate about discovering the best restaurants that could accommodate gluten-free individuals when I was first prescribed the GF diet. I needed to know where I could dine out! So, I started the blog to share my discoveries. It has now become such a popular reference for all things gluten-free: restaurant reviews, recipes, wellness tips, and travel. Thank for you downloading my Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide for Toronto, hope you enjoy! Rachael Founder of Gluten Freedom
