Coeliac Sanctuary began life on 7th August 2014 and has been continuously growing since. Initially the site started as a personal hobby to get Alison back into work after illness and anxiety and a place for her to list places who offered gluten free for future reference. However over the months Coeliac Sanctuary has become extremely popular with thousands of Coeliacs and has now turned into a place thousands of people come to looking for places to eat and gluten free recipes every week.
