About Dr. Jamilet Alegria

A Pediatrician Who’s Been in Your Shoes

Hi — I’m Dr. Jamilet Alegria, a board-certified pediatrician who’s also been living gluten-free for over a decade.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease as an adult, and even with my medical training, I found the transition surprisingly overwhelming. Every grocery trip, every restaurant menu, and every social event felt like a test — and I quickly realized how confusing gluten-free living can be, even for healthcare professionals.

Over the years, I’ve learned what truly makes a gluten-free lifestyle sustainable: practical systems, confidence in reading labels, and knowing how to advocate for yourself (and your kids) in the real world.

That’s why I created GlutenFreeMD — to bridge the gap between clinical knowledge and everyday gluten-free life. My goal is to give families evidence-based, realistic guidance that actually works for busy parents — so you can spend less time stressing over ingredients and more time helping yourself and your kids thrive.

Whether you or your child was just diagnosed, or your family is still learning how to navigate this lifestyle, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you build a gluten-free life that feels calm, confident, and doable.
