My Top Posts of 2025

Here's what you read this year

I appreciate each and every one of you for reading and engaging with my content this year!

I’ve really enjoyed writing this newsletter for the celiac community, and I’m looking forward to publishing more in 2026.

Now, to close out this year, I put together a recap of some fun performance stats.

What surprised me most was how much traffic I got directly from people searching on Google (I guess my SEO skills came in handy!) and how many new subscribers I got from other Substack writers recommending me.

Special shoutout to Kayla Cappiello, Margaret Clegg, Gluten Free Kids Club, Gluten Free Delectably , and Idris Craft for driving the most subscribers!

For my last newsletter of the year, I also wanted to look back at my most popular new posts from 2025.

What performed best? Deep dives into buzzy topics, travel guides, and product round-ups. Happy reading!
