Treat the Cause, Not the Symptom

February 18, 2015 | 27 Comments

So many topics to discuss: Pizza Hut teaming up with Udi’s, my daughter’s upcoming endoscopy, Coors Gluten-Free Beer, the (sad) PF Changs lawsuit, Cheerios marketing themselves as gluten free, and the list goes on and on. And I will get to all of these […]

Chipotle Goes Above and Beyond…and Overboard

February 12, 2015 | 73 Comments

We celiacs are a simple bunch. We don’t like to cause trouble. We hate being a burden. And man do we miss eating out and not worrying about getting sick. So when we come to your establishment and kindly inform you that we need […]

“My Celiac Diagnosis: The Best Day of My Life”

February 9, 2015 | 34 Comments

After a few tough weeks, I really wanted to post something positive today. Nothing about the media. Nothing about my health. Nothing about the trolls. Nothing about Henrik Lundqvist being out for 4 weeks. Hmmm…but what could I write about?? Maybe, just maybe, I’ll […]

Lessons Learned…

February 5, 2015 | 44 Comments

Seven 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 […]

A Call to NBC to Remove Their NASCAR Super Bowl Ad

January 28, 2015 | 251 Comments

This 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 […]

With Celiac Disease, Attitude is EVERYTHING

January 28, 2015 | 16 Comments

Longest. Month. Ever. I came into 2015 with a revived spirit and a new outlook on life. I was going to work smarter, spend more time with Mrs. Dude and the Dudettes and overall be more productive and less stressed. So what happened? I’m […]

Joy Behar: An Absolute Gluten-Free Train Wreck

January 21, 2015 | 104 Comments

My 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 […]

This 12-year-old Celiac Can Teach Us ALL a Lesson

January 20, 2015 | 24 Comments

When I think back to being 12 years old, I totally cringe. It was not the best time to be me. To misquote Frank Sinatra…”When I was 12 years old, it wasn’t a very good year.” I had zero self-esteem. Zero confidence. Everybody would […]

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.
