Media
Ugh…the media. What a disaster of a ride it’s been with them when it comes to celiac disease. From Jimmy Kimmel to Dr. Oz to Disney to the Today Show and on and on and on. Here…I do my best to take them all to task with the ultimate goal of getting people to take our disease more seriously.
Jimmy Kimmel has tried. And failed. Jimmy Fallon has tried. And failed. Joy Behar? I have no idea what she was striving to accomplish. But she definitely failed (and made herself look like a jackass to boot). Seth Myers. Jennifer Lawrence. Rachael Ray. Ryan […]
Read MoreSeven days have passed since I posted about the NASCAR Super Bowl ad. What a surreal week it has been. I have seen the good, the bad and holy crap, have I seen the ugly. With all the craziness starting to simmer down, let’s […]
Read MoreThis is not a rant. This is not a rave. For this post, I am using my quiet voice. Yes…I have a quiet voice. A fellow celiac notified me that NBC was running a Super Bowl ad immediately following the end of the game […]
Read MoreMy friends…there is no JOY in celiac-ville today. We will not be taking any JOY rides this week. The Morning Joe show is no longer my pride and JOY (not that it ever was.) I will not be singing JOY to the World any […]
Read MoreNormally on Thanksgiving, I will give a shout out to some folks that I am more than thankful for. This year, while I am still blessed and so thankful for so many in my life, I’ll just save my thanks for one team of […]
Read MoreSo I’m at the doctor’s office last week filling out the usual 37 pages of forms that I’ve filled out 83 times before. In the waiting room, The Chew is showing on the TV. I don’t pay too much attention to it…until I hear […]
Read MoreSee what I did there? I wrote the headline to make it look like celiac disease isn’t real when I’m really talking about how celiac affects the brain. This way, we’ll see if anybody reacts to just reading the headline. I know…you don’t have […]
Read MoreI think it’s time for a good old-fashioned “Gluten Dude Take Down”. It’s been awhile and I’m a bit out of practice, but after a month of holding my tongue as the gluten-free community got mocked, doubted and trampled upon, I can hold it […]
Read MoreHello…I’m back. Yes…I’m still doing my “30 Days of Helping 30 Celiacs“. I’ll continue with that series tomorrow. I just needed a bit of a break for a couple of reasons. First reason…I got gluten-whacked 10 days ago and it got the best of […]
Read MoreBear with me as I’m still feeling off and this may be a long post. So Jimmy Kimmel did another bit about gluten a few nights ago. You can check it out here. I promise…this is not going to be a Kimmel-bashing post. I’m […]
Read MoreWho 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.

I'm all ears
