Rachael Ray Calls Us Picky…Then Uses Gluten in a Gluten-Free Recipe

February 10, 2013 | 169 Comments

One step forward and two steps back. One step forward and two GIANT steps back. The story of a celiac’s life. The gluten-free “trend” has picked up some serious steam in 2013 and once again, it’s our crappy, do-anything-for-a-buck media leading the charge. This […]

Help Me…Help You

January 23, 2013 | 173 Comments

Mrs. Dude says I need to have thicker skin. Like pretty much everything else she says about me, she’s probably right. But I’ve been pierced lately from some fellow celiacs who I care deeply about. Pierced by accusations that I’m too judgmental; too negative; […]

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 […]

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 […]

Church Bans Gluten-Free Host for 11 Year-Old Celiac

June 1, 2012 | 159 Comments

I know. I know. There are three things you shouldn’t discuss, or in my case blog about, if you don’t want to get into an argument. Politics, sex and religion. And believe me, I’m not looking for an argument, but I just couldn’t let […]

No More PF Chang's for this Celiac

May 18, 2012 | 270 Comments

And another one bites the dust. I have now added PF Chang’s to the list of restaurants I can no longer eat at. And yes, I’m quite sad about it. First…a little PF Chang’s history. After my celiac diagnosis in 2007, I did not […]

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.
