Who is Dean McDermott you say? If you don’t know who is he, then you don’t watch reality TV. And if you don’t watch reality TV, then you don’t watch “Tori & Dean”. And if you don’t watch “Tori & Dean”, you are missing some […]

Gluten & Celiac: A Chef's Perspective

February 13, 2012 | 25 Comments

There are always two sides to every story. And while we as consumers can bitch and moan about gluten, celiac and all the things that come with it, there is an entire industry that is also side-saddled with this problem. This would be the […]

Celiac Disease, Gluten & the Media

February 9, 2012 | 31 Comments

Yesterday was indeed a strange day in glutenville (glutentown? glutenburgh??). It’s days like yesterday that I think us celiacs need to hire a top public relations firm to help us rise above the noise of the media-created gluten hysteria. As I’ve said in the […]

Was I Glutened?

February 7, 2012 | 17 Comments

The picture above? That was me ALL DAY yesterday. One of those days where I wake up tired and just get more exhausted as the day goes on. Clock-watched the entire day and finally crawled into bed at 7. Actually woke up in the […]

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.
