Danna Korn, founder of GlutenFreedom, is considered one of the foremost experts on the gluten-free diet and medical conditions that benefit from it.
Author of 'Wheat-Free, Worry-Free: The Art of Happy, Healthy, Gluten-Free Living,' and 'Kids with Celiac Disease: A Family Guide to Raising Happy, Healthy Gluten-Free Children,' she appears frequently in national and local media, and has written dozens of articles on gluten-free living that have been published in national magazines and newspapers. Danna has been researching celiac disease since her son, Tyler, was diagnosed with the condition in 1991. That same year, she founded R.O.C.K. (Raising Our Celiac Kids), a free support group for families of children on a gluten-free diet. Today, Danna leads nearly 100 chapters of R.O.C.K. throughout the nation.
She speaks frequently around the country to health care professionals, celiacs, parents of celiacs, parents of autistic kids involved in a gluten-free/casein-free dietary intervention program, and others on a gluten-free diet. She has been invited to be a presentor at the 12th International Symposium on Celiac Disease at Columbia University in New York City in 2006, and was an invited presentor at the 11th International Symposium on Celiac Disease in Belfast, Ireland in 2004. She attended the 10th International Symposium on Celiac Disease in Paris in 2002.
Danna is a consultant for a celiac testing company, and founded a company called GlutenFreedom, which offers consultation services to natural food companies, dietitians and nutritionists, restaurants, and people newly diagnosed with gluten intolerance and celiac disease. She also coordinates the International Walk/Run for Celiac Disease each May in San Diego.
Danna and her husband, Paul, live in Encinitas, CA with their children, Tyler and Kelsie.
