Denver, CO, July 27, 2026 —
A 16-year-old from the Denver area is leveraging her personal experience with celiac disease to help others navigate the world of gluten-free baking. Paloma Atkins, diagnosed with the condition at age 11, has turned her passion for baking into an online platform where she shares her perfected gluten-free recipes.
Atkins’ diagnosis at age 11 presented a significant challenge to her love for baking. The need to avoid gluten meant that many of her favorite recipes were no longer an option. Undeterred, she spent years experimenting and refining recipes to create gluten-free alternatives that rival traditional baked goods in taste and texture.
Now, as a teenager, Atkins is focused on making gluten-free baking more accessible and enjoyable for others who face similar dietary restrictions. Her online sharing aims to provide a resource for individuals and families managing celiac disease, offering them the opportunity to continue enjoying a wide variety of baked treats without compromising their health.
