I’ve ranted. I’ve raved. I’ve spewed. I’ve joked. I’ve pleaded. I’ve begged. My bag of tricks is almost empty and instead of things getting better, they have actually gotten worse. Celiac disease is a f*cking joke. Not to me and you of course. But […]

Who I am. And who I'm 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.
