A Parade that Includes People Throwing Flour? What’s a Celiac to do?

March 20, 2017 | 14 Comments

Being a celiac means considering things that others don’t have to. It doesn’t mean living in fear, but it certainly means living in a state of heightened awareness. Take this fellow celiac’s dilemma: Hey Gluten Dude, I have to admit this isn’t how I […]

When Celiac Disease Leads to Fear of Food

March 7, 2017 | 40 Comments

About 20 years ago, when I was living in New York City as a struggling (doesn’t even begin to describe it) artist, I ate a chicken salad sandwich at a nearby diner. Tasted…ok. About 5 hours later, it hit me. Boy…did it hit me. […]

The History of Celiac Disease

March 1, 2017 | 4 Comments

“We’re in the middle of a slow, simmering epidemic.” – Dr. John Garber, Massachusetts General Hospital, speaking about celiac disease. Quite the interesting article about celiac disease on CNN.com today. And no…it’s not fake news! It’s a pretty long article so I’m not going […]

It’s six in the morning and I’ve been up for 4 hours already. Yeah…sleep has not been my friend lately. Before I go grab my 13th cup of coffee, let’s do a quick mailbag. Hey Dude! (You ROCK!!) I am your redheaded Celiac sister […]

Dude…Should I Buy the Nima Sensor??

January 27, 2017 | 25 Comments

When I went to journalism school (#alternativefact), I was taught to open an article with a question, draw the audience in, discuss my thoughts, and then at the end of the article, answer the question. But I’m going to reverse that school of thought […]

Speaking “Free” with Jennifer Esposito

January 25, 2017 | 13 Comments

It’s no secret that I am not a fan of celiac bloggers who are essentially brand whores. Who get paid to constantly, and I mean constantly, promote products that may or may not have a celiac’s health in their best interest. To me, the […]

Calling a Gluten-Free Eucharist Obnoxious? Illogical? Pot…Meet Kettle.

January 19, 2017 | 48 Comments

Well this is ugly. The Spectator magazine, around since 1828 with a paid circulation of 72,000 and a popular website, recently ran an article by one Melissa Kite titled “The dietary obnoxiousness of the Catholic Church”, with a lovely byline that reads “Gluten-free Eucharist? […]

Celiac Rant: I Just Want a Diagnosis!!

January 11, 2017 | 27 Comments

In 2007, I was sick for pretty much the full year. Lost 15 pounds on an already slim frame. I (finally) went to the doctor and the very first thing I was tested for was celiac disease. It came back positive and an endoscopy […]

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.
