January 12, 2016 | 19 Comments

Two years after my initial celiac diagnosis, I was still feeling like poop. My gastro ran a few extra tests and found nothing else wrong. Then he decided to re-scope me. Not to confirm that I actually had celiac disease. I did. But to […]

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.
