When Jason Elmore got his celiac diagnosis, he faced the same crushing realization so many of us in the celiac community know all too well: dining out had become incredibly complicated and scary. But instead of resigning himself to a life of packed lunches and sad salads, Jason did something extraordinary—he built the solution we all desperately needed: Find Me Gluten Free.
What began as Jason’s personal quest to eat at restaurants safely in 2010 has blossomed into the app that’s become the gluten-free community’s collective lifeline, helping millions of us discover safe restaurants, bakeries, and travel spots around the globe.
Jason’s story is one of turning personal struggle into community triumph, and I absolutely loved our conversation. In this episode, he opens up about:
- The deeply personal story behind Find Me Gluten Free and how his own diagnosis sparked a mission to help all of us
- The incredible (and sometimes lonely) journey of building and scaling an app from his kitchen table as a solo entrepreneur
- How the app has grown and evolved over the years, plus the unexpected challenges Jason faced along the way
- Jason’s favorite spots to eat—and yes, he uses Find Me Gluten Free when he travels!
This conversation reminded me why I love this community so much. Jason saw a problem we all shared and refused to accept that it was just “how things are.” His dedication has made dining out joyful again for so many of us. Tune in to hear his story.
