Dear World: Here is Why I Eat Gluten-Free

March 3, 2014 | 62 Comments

We don’t owe anybody any explanation of why we eat gluten-free. It’s our life. It’s our body. It’s our health. It’s what we do to thrive and survive. Yet with the fad diet in full force, I know some in our community feel the […]

Celiac Rant: I'm New to This…And I Hate It

January 8, 2014 | 85 Comments

Think back to when you were first diagnosed with celiac disease. What was your first reaction? For many people, it was relief. Relief that they finally had an answer to all of their health woes. Relief that it wasn’t cancer. Relief that they could […]

As we shovel out from a foot of good-old Northeastern snow (ok…to be fair…I should say “as I watch Mrs. Dude shovel…”), it seems the perfect time to post pictures of my gluten-free vacation from last month. This is the third year in a […]

December 31, 2013 | 18 Comments

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.
