Listen to Your Body…Not Your Family

April 14, 2015 | 29 Comments

If you’ve got a supportive family, count your blessings. I’ve received so many emails over the years from others who are not quite as fortunate. This one came in a couple of days ago and it has her doubting whether she should even mention […]

Udi’s & Smashburger: A Gluten-Free Disaster

April 9, 2015 | 84 Comments

This is either a story of good intentions gone bad. Or it’s a story of a BS move by a large gluten-free company. I will let you be the judge. This story starts in the Summer of 2014 with the following announcement from Smashburger: […]

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.
