Because gut-friendly just got glam AF.

We’re Kristin and Caryn—twins, travel junkies, product testers, and full-time food label investigators. We created Twintolerant because we were tired of being left out, left behind, and left with nothing safe on the damn menu.


Let’s be real: living with both gluten and lactose intolerance (aka the betrayal duo) is not for the faint of gut. Apps? Sure, there were a few. But they were either focused only on gluten-free/celiac-safe spots or just vegan food (spoiler: we eat meat, and not all vegan is gluten safe). And don’t get us started on reviews from people who think “gluten-free” is just a vibe. We needed real, relatable recommendations for food, products, etc. from people who actually get it.


So we made what we couldn’t find: A space where food isn’t just safe—it serves.Where the vibe matches the menu. Where being intolerant doesn’t mean you have to settle.


The Double-Whammy Problem

Gluten AND lactose intolerant? That’s a whole different game. It’s navigating life with zero margin for error—because every bite comes with consequences. We are sick of the frustration, the wasted time, the guilt of asking “one more question,” and the daily anxiety of whether we could eat somewhere without ending the night in regret (or the bathroom).


Every restaurant trip feels like a gamble. Every new product is a risk. And let’s not even talk about the emotional toll of being excluded, eye-rolled, or fed the classic “you can just have a salad” line. No Thanks!


So We Said Screw That.

We made Twintolerant to serve our people—the ones reading every label, calling ahead to restaurants, and Googling “does this chip have lactose AND gluten?” before every flight. The ones who’ve felt the sting of exclusion over brunch, or the shame of asking for modifications again. The ones who want to travel, taste, and live fully—without sacrificing their health or their style.


We’re here to dish up:

  • 🔥 Savage looks (because food restrictions don’t mean fashion restrictions)

  • ✈️ Fierce destinations (yes, you can explore the world and stay safe)

  • 🍽️ Can’t-miss hot spots (rated with our gut-trust criteria)

  • 🛍️ Must-have products (twin-tested and approved)


We don’t just find them—we hype them, rate them, and give you all the goss. Buckle up —you’re on this ride with us.
