Hi everyone. Where in the world have you been?? What’s that? I’m the one that’s been MIA? Oh…in that case, where in the world have I been? In a nutshell…to hell and back. But hey…at least I’m back. And I’ll be back in full-force […]

August 20, 2014 | 37 Comments

Today (August 21) is mine and Mrs. Dude’s 21st wedding anniversary. Our amazing marriage has survived an earthquake (Northridge of 93), bladder cancer, pulmonary embolisms, celiac disease and a host of other stress-inducers. But nothing quite compares to what we are dealing with right […]

Let's Write a Book Together! I'm Calling It 'Celiac Disease: The Manual'

August 8, 2014 | 151 Comments

There is no manual for living with celiac disease. No how-to guide to navigate your new life. I assume when you received your diagnosis, you got pretty much the exact same instructions from your doctor that I got from mine: Don’t eat gluten. So […]

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.
