Celiac Rants

I hate celiac. You hate celiac. We all hate celiac. With all that pent up anger, people need a place to vent. That’s one of the reasons I started this blog. There’s just one rule: Once you’re done venting, you need to move forward and put the negative vibes on the back burner. Positive energy brings positive results. Ready for some rants? Read on.

Celiac Rant: I Have Been Feeding Poison to My Child for Years

August 14, 2013 | 22 Comments

We need to be our own best advocates. I’ve been saying that for years. We simply cannot trust that the doctors word is final. Because far too often…it’s wrong. Especially when it comes to celiac disease. If you have not already, check out the […]

Celiac Rant: My Gluten-Free Friend is Making Me Sick

August 5, 2013 | 65 Comments

Where oh where does the time go? It’s been many months since I posted a reader’s celiac rant. I know somebody who has a friend with celiac disease. But they still eat gluten sometimes because “she must not have it as bad as you […]

I'm Mad as Hell!! What Can We Do to Change Things?

May 7, 2013 | 81 Comments

I’ve ranted. I’ve raved. I’ve spewed. I’ve joked. I’ve pleaded. I’ve begged. My bag of tricks is almost empty and instead of things getting better, they have actually gotten worse. Celiac disease is a f*cking joke. Not to me and you of course. But […]

I Don't Want Celiac Disease Anymore

February 25, 2013 | 100 Comments

I’m done. I’m checking out. I’ve reached my limit. I don’t want celiac disease anymore. I don’t want to worry about every morsel of food that goes into my body. I don’t want the attention garnered on me at parties and dinners. I don’t […]

Closing Out 2012 With Some Celiac Rants

December 31, 2012 | 36 Comments

As 2012 comes to a close…I’m cleansing. Cleansing my blog (details to come). Cleansing my body. Cleansing my mind. Cleansing my soul. And most importantly…I’m cleansing my inbox. I have a whole lotta rants sitting in my email and haven’t had the time to […]

Celiac Doesn't Take a Holiday

December 27, 2012 | 78 Comments

One night. That’s all I ask for. Just…one…night. One night where I can celebrate the holidays like everybody else does without feeling like shit. One night where I can imbibe in the pleasures of life a bit without paying the consequences. One night where […]

Celiac Rant: The Medical Community Has Abandoned Me

December 3, 2012 | 47 Comments

When I was diagnosed five years ago with celiac disease, my doctor nailed it right away. I didn’t really think twice about it at the time. He’s a doctor. I was a sick patient. He did his job. But since I’ve started this blog, […]

Instant A**hole…Just Add Gluten

November 23, 2012 | 158 Comments

You’ll get a few things from watching the following video. One…a good amount of adult language (you’ve been warned). Two…a great laugh. Three…a sense of how I’ve been the past 4 days. Yes, I got glutened. Yes, it was during my weekend in the […]

Stop Eating Gluten-Free Foods

October 18, 2012 | 507 Comments

Dude note: This post was slightly updated on May 5, 2020 but was originally written in 2012. My…how time flies. ———— I may not make many friends with the gluten-free food industry with this post, but here goes nothing. And in no way am […]

September 19, 2012 | 66 Comments

Who I am. And who I'm not.

I AM someone who's been gluten-free since 2007 due to a diagnosis of severe celiac disease. I'm someone who can steer you in the right direction when it comes to going gluten-free. And I'm someone who will always give you the naked truth about going gluten free.

I AM NOT someone who embraces this gluten-free craziness. I didn’t find freedom, a better life or any of that other crap when I got diagnosed. With all due respect to Hunter S. Thompson, I found fear and loathing of an unknown world. But if I can share my wisdom, tell my stories and make the transition easier on you, I’ve done my job.
