Gluten Free Wristbands!
Posted by Mike in GF Product Review, Mike's Journey, MiscFeb 18th, 2009 | 13 responsesGLUTEN FREE Wristbands are in stock!
I was having a hard time reminding myself to eat gluten free. All my old habits would subconsciously come back and I would find myself reaching or thinking about something with gluten. I decided to get myself a LIVESTRONG wristband to support all diseases/cancers and as a constant reminder to myself to eat gluten free. It worked!
I decided to have GLUTEN FREE wristbands made! Once I started wearing mine, people everywhere were asking me about it or asking me if I had celiac. Not only is it a daily visual reminder, but it is a conversation starter.
Over the past few years the awareness for celiac and gluten free has grown tremendously. Lets add to it! By wearing a gluten free wristband people will see it and know what it is, or they may ask you about it and you can tell them about eating gluten free.
There are a couple other people selling similar products, but they cost more, are a hassle to order, and are celiac specific. I decided to make mine for the general gluten free population. There are many more people eating gluten free than just celiacs.
These are perfect as gifts for yourself, your family, your supporters, friends, doctors, and for your kids!

I love this idea! I need to get this for my son since I am not always able to be around him playing the “food cop”.
Awesome!
looks great, unfortunately I’m allergic to something in the plastic in these wristbands so won’t be able to buy.
I don’t think it worked when I tried to submit my comment the other day. Do these come in child and adult sizes like the Univ. of MD celiac ones?
Currently, we are only offering 1 size, the adult size. We are starting to look into a smaller size for children.
Just what I’ve been looking for! Thanks!!!
my mom is helping me write to you. i am 10 years old and i was recently diagnosed with celiac disease.this really stinks because i cant eat all the good foods the other kids at school and daycare can eat. i would really like to have one of your bracelets to wear to school so when kids ask me about it i can try to explain what celiac disease is. please let my mom know if you are able to send me one of your bracelets. thank you for listening to me. hannah spurling. my mom is chris spurling.
Hannah & Chris:
At the top of the page, there is a text link “Gluten Free Wristbands.” If you could purchase one through that page, I will gladly send you one ASAP. When purchasing one at a time, the far majority of the price goes towards shipping, thus I have trouble justifying sending out freebies to individuals.
Thank you for your work spreading awareness, especially to the kids at school! That would be awesome if all the 10 year olds grew up being aware of what celiac is and what it means to eat gluten free. It must be a struggle to eat a school lunch or partake in foods in the classroom. Hang in there, hopefully the benefits you see outweigh any temptation to join in.

Is there a reason you show a bottle of Bud Light teamed with a GF bracelet? It’s not GF as far as I know is it?
Richard: Correct, Bud Light is NOT gluten free. When I was taking the photos, my thought was to put it on there as a reminder that I could not drink it, and not to designate it as gluten free. Sorry for the confusion.
I’m so glad that i came across this site. I’m also really bad at resisting my favorite foods that contain gluten. Its been a true battle, as it took almost a decade(half my life) to figure out what was wrong, and at one time I felt like my body was failing me one system after another. But now that I know I have celiac, my health has really improved. I can’t wait to get my bracelet so i can always be reminded to eat gluten free.
p.s. I added you on twitter!!!
Hello,
I have just discovered your website through a link on Twitter. I am always looking for new ideas/blogs/recipes to help my 6 year old daughter who has Celiac disease, and I am thrilled to have found the gluten free bracelets! Although, we live in Ontario, Canada… do you ship to Canada?
Thank you, looking forward to hearing from you!
@Lindsay: YES, we can ship to Canada. I have actually sent these all over the world.
Thanks, Mike! My daughter will be so excited, especially to wear it to school! Looking forward to receiving them!
