Ms. Romero moved to Boulder, CO and owned a solo medical practice emphasizing the diagnosis and health of celiacs and those with a gluten intolerance. After her own personal experience with gluten, she realizes first hand the multitude of health issues that surround this diagnosis. Food and nutrition are not only a big part of her practice but also in her life. After suffering from debilitating joint and muscle pain, she discovered a severe gluten intolerance. This site demonstrates how delicious gluten free living really is and the tools that support the health of celiacs and those with a gluten intolerance.
