Celiac

In Remembrance…

December 17, 2012 | 39 Comments

I know I’m supposed to talk about celiac disease and the evils of gluten. All of the so-called blogging experts say don’t talk about things outside your niche. But I’m just not there yet. I will be soon. I want to tell you all […]

A Touching Note from a 10-Year-Old Celiac

December 13, 2012 | 29 Comments

This will most likely be the sweetest, saddest, most touching thing you’ll read all day. Chloe is 10 years old. Chloe has celiac disease. She got glutened last week and her Mom, who owns the New Grains Gluten Free Bakery, found this letter on […]

Healing…Sort Of

December 11, 2012 | 14 Comments

Gluten-free greetings from paradise… I may not be healing physically as much as I would like. Stomach is in shambles, blah, blah, blah. But I AM healing mentally and emotionally. And that suits me just fine. Down time is indeed my friend. Have a […]

I’ve been glutened. What should I do? How do I heal?

December 6, 2012 | 151 Comments

Let’s just assume I went to my favorite restaurant last Saturday night. Let’s just assume I’ve been there about 100 times in the past two years. Let’s just assume I order one of two things every single time I go there, sushi or the […]

Confessions of a Waitress

December 4, 2012 | 88 Comments

Wow…check out the following email I received yesterday. It is honest, sad and scary all wrapped into one. It is from a long-time restaurant server who spent years not taking celiac disease seriously for her customers. She is now being tested for celiac disease. […]

Question: What do Dr. Suess and Dr. Drew have in common? Answer: One of them is a fictional character that has no concept of what celiac disease is…and the other one is Dr. Suess. Just when I started to give the media credit for […]

Jennifer Esposito: Her Celiac Story

November 27, 2012 | 16 Comments

I always rail on the media when it comes to…well…pretty much everything. But in this case, they got it right. Mostly right anyway. Above is an episode of Fox Files from a few weeks back that highlighted Jennifer Esposito’s battle with celiac disease. Here’s […]

Instant A**hole…Just Add Gluten

November 23, 2012 | 158 Comments

You’ll get a few things from watching the following video. One…a good amount of adult language (you’ve been warned). Two…a great laugh. Three…a sense of how I’ve been the past 4 days. Yes, I got glutened. Yes, it was during my weekend in the […]

A Celiac Gives Thanks

November 21, 2012 | 56 Comments

Sometimes it’s hard for a celiac to feel thankful. I get emails…every day…from fellow celiacs who I know aren’t feeling very thankful. They’re angry. They’re resentful. They just want their life back the way it was. I get it. I’ve been there. We’ve all […]

Dear Gluten Dude: I'm Suicidal

November 14, 2012 | 119 Comments

The general population just doesn’t understand celiac disease and what it can do to those inflicted. Not that I blame them. It doesn’t get the media coverage that other diseases get and because the disease itself is food-related, many on the outside don’t take […]

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.
