Our Journey

 

In the year 2007, our lives took an unexpected turn when our beloved daughter, Gunpreet, was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. It was a time of confusion and disbelief, as we had never imagined that someone could be allergic to gluten. We were thrust into a world of uncertainty, but our love for our child became the driving force behind our quest for knowledge and understanding. Gunpreet's journey as a Celiac began with a series of baffling symptoms that affected her daily life. She experienced constant fatigue, struggling to find energy for even the simplest tasks. Her once-vibrant appetite diminished, leaving her with no desire to eat. As a result, her height and weight stopped increasing, causing concern and raising countless questions in our minds. The diagnosis of Celiac Disease finally shed light on the root cause of her ailments.

We embarked on a relentless journey to educate ourselves about this mysterious condition that had taken hold of our daughter's health. Countless hours were spent scouring the internet, consulting with doctors, and attending seminars in search of any information that could guide us. Our hearts were heavy with anxiety in those initial days, unsure of how we would navigate this new reality and ensure our child's well-being.

In those early stages, we completely transformed our kitchen and grocery shopping habits. Only the safest, 100% gluten-free foods found a place in our home. We meticulously read ingredient labels, triple-checking every item, and even contacted manufacturers to guarantee zero contamination. We invested in a grain grinder to make our own flours, eliminating any chance of cross-contamination from store-bought products.

Grocery shopping became an exercise in caution and concern. We scrutinized every detail, ensuring that every product we brought home was safe for our daughter to consume. Our kitchen became divided, with separate utensils and cookware for preparing her gluten-free meals. We took extra measures during celebrations and outings, scrutinizing restaurant kitchens for possible sources of contamination and pleading with chefs to prepare a special plate for Gunpreet, free from any traces of gluten.

 

However, after a year of adhering strictly to her diet, we were disheartened to discover that her infection levels had improved, but not significantly. It was then that we realized the importance of certified gluten-free products. Mere ingredient checks were not enough; we needed to trust in brands that specialized in providing safe options. As part of our commitment to expanding her dietary options, we imported gluten testing kits from abroad to assess the gluten content of basic items such as Kissan tomato ketchup, Amul vanilla ice cream, Amul butter, and more. These efforts aimed to bring variety and delight back into Gunpreet's life, as we had initially restricted her intake of all store-bought foods. Over the years, we also discovered a few gluten-free brands, which brought a much-needed sense of relief. However, it became evident that our small town of Dehradun lacked a reliable source for gluten-free bakery goods, biscuits, and cakes.

These seemingly small yet monumental changes in our lifestyle began to yield positive results. Gunpreet's infections decreased, her weight started to improve, and her height began to catch up with her peers. Like any child, she longed to indulge in the same foods as her friends, but she maturely understood the consequences of straying from her gluten-free diet. As she grew older, she took charge of her own health, diligently ensuring that everything she consumed was entirely gluten-free.

Gunpreet’s transformation was so remarkable that even the doctor who had initially diagnosed her was deeply impressed. Recognizing the progress she had made under our care, he started referring subsequent patients to us, seeking our guidance and support in navigating the gluten-free journey. While we gladly extended our help to these individuals, we couldn't shake off a sense of disappointment. The lack of easily accessible gluten-free products hindered our ability to assist other patients effectively.

A transformative idea dawned upon us—a thought that would change our lives forever. We decided to establish our own gluten-free brand, a place where we could manufacture 100% glutenfree bakery products and premixes. We poured our hearts and souls into this venture, dedicating countless hours to bring our vision to life.

 

Thus, GEGGLE was born, an initiative and brand with a mission to empower and bring smiles to those diagnosed with Celiac Disease. We wanted to prove that a gluten-free diet could be more than just a hindrance—it could be an enriching experience. At GEGGLE, we manufacture a wide variety of healthy and nutritious gluten-free offerings in a dedicated facility that adheres to the highest standards. Our products not only provide relief to those with Celiac Disease but also offer numerous health benefits, making them suitable for individuals with diabetes and heart conditions. In 2009, when our daughter, the heart and soul of GEGGLE, was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, we felt lost and helpless. But we refused to let it define us. Our unwavering determination led us to gather knowledge, seek out experts, and establish a brand that embodies our passion for helping others in similar situations. Collaboration lies at the core of GEGGLE, as we believe in the power of collective efforts to promote good health and drive positive change.

GEGGLE's journey begins in Uttarakhand, India, where our manufacturing facility produces gluten-free goods of global standards. We take pride in creating premium quality products, ensuring that they are not only wholesome in taste and texture but also baked with boundless love and care.

But our commitment doesn't end there. We promise to continually innovate, offering a wider range of delicious breads, muffins, cakes, and snacks, inspired by the valuable feedback of our customers. At GEGGLE, we firmly believe that healthy, nutritious, and delightful food is not a luxury but a necessity. By providing enriching gluten-free alternatives, we aspire to improve individual quality of life, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.

Today, GEGGLE stands tall as a symbol of hope, resilience, and the power of love. Our dedicated team continues to push boundaries, constantly striving to expand our product line and reach more people in need. We remain committed to our core values of quality, compassion, and innovation, ensuring that every bite of GEGGLE's gluten-free offerings brings joy, nourishment, and a renewed sense of possibility.

 

In the end, the story of GEGGLE is not just about a brand; it's a testament to the strength of a family's love and the profound impact one child's diagnosis can have on inspiring positive change. Through our journey with Gunpreet, we discovered our life's purpose—to make a difference in the lives of others facing similar challenges. And with GEGGLE, we are fulfilling that purpose, one delicious and nutritious gluten-free product at a time.
