Is The Celiac Awareness Tour Ripping People Off?

October 31, 2013 | 29 Comments

It’s really not that hard to do the right thing. Honestly, it’s not. All you need to do is figure out what would piss the most people off and then NOT DO THAT. But it seems the folks at the Celiac Awareness Tour (now […]

A Little G-Free Humor to End Your Week

October 17, 2013 | 14 Comments

There are so many lame attempts at gluten-free humor out there. Most of it is just mean-spirited because it’s done by people who don’t have gluten issues. Here is a perfect example. It is so lame…and it’s done by a, cough-cough, comedy troupe. But […]

How Do I Find More Energy??

October 11, 2013 | 183 Comments

I can put up with a lot of the celiac disease symptoms: the stomach pain, the joint pain, etc. I can tolerate the inconvenience of our disease when it comes to food. I can handle all of the crap that comes with celiac…except one […]

Is Corona Gluten-Free?

October 8, 2013 | 231 Comments

Ok…see if you can following the bouncing ball. Corona is not a gluten-free beer. But it has been tested to under 20ppm, so it is a gluten-free beer. Yet it’s made with barley, so it’s not a gluten-free beer. But according to the FDA, […]

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.
