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.
I really thought we were making a dent in celiac awareness. I had convinced myself that the gluten-free fad was just that…a fad that had begun to run its course. I led myself to believe that 2012 would be the year that we’d shift […]
Read MoreFor those of you who have seen the above two year old video, my apologies for being late to the party. Story of my life. For those who have not seen it, prepare to be dumbfounded. Anthony Demetre is a big-time chef in England […]
Read MoreNow THIS is the way to start 2013. I received an email last week from a civil rights lawyer who has two children with celiac disease. She informed me that Lesley University had been sued by some students with celiac disease for not providing […]
Read MoreQuestion: 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 […]
Read MoreI 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 […]
Read MoreSo as we all know by now, fellow celiac Jennifer Esposito is getting the shaft from CBS. CBS is telling one side of the story, but reality tells a far different story. But there is a whole other side to this insidious episode: the […]
Read MoreIt must be nice to be CBS. You’ve got billions of dollars in your piggy bank. You’ve got the highest of high-powered lawyers. You’ve got millions of faithful viewers. Yet all that money and power and you still act like a common thug without […]
Read MoreThis is utter bullshit. Once again, money and power rule over common sense, common courtesy and common decency. And this time…it’s personal. Jennifer Esposito has celiac disease. To say she “has” celiac disease is an understatement. Due to years of crappy doctors and misdiagnoses, […]
Read MoreThe Globe and Mail is Canada’s national newspaper. It’s been in print for 167 years. As per their own website, it’s “an essential read for Canadians who want in-depth reporting on the issues, facts and opinions that affect our domestic landscape and the world […]
Read MoreOk…I’ve got a new rule that is in effect as of today. The only people who are allowed to write articles about celiac disease are either medical professionals who understand the disease (and believe me, these are few and far between) and those actually […]
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
