About Me

An RN for 14 years, I have been following a strict gluten-free diet for six years of improving health! Now I help others as a Celiac Disease/Gluten Intolerance Educator. I work one on one with people on meal planning, shopping, cooking and dining out gluten-free. I will also work with children who have behavioral issues related to gluten or other food sensitivities.

    I am now collecting information, research, articles, professional papers, and especially, patient stories, for a new project. Many people with food sensitivities and with celiac disease suffer from headaches, or have family members who do. I would love to hear from anyone with an interesting headache "case history" they're be willing to share confidentially...

    For the past two years I've been busy writing something called, "The Better Bladder Book - A Holistic Approach to Healing Interstitial Cystitis & Chronic Pelvic Pain". IT is now OUT, AVAILABLE, and thankfully, getting GREAT Reviews! This makes me very happy, not because I'll make a bundle (I won't), but because people who need help can now find it. IC is...

    Hi Johnny, I know this is an old post and don't know if you're active on the forum, but I wanted to ask you whether your prostate problems have cleared up on the gluten-free diet/diagnosis with celiac disease. The reason is that I'm writing a book on urinary symptoms and possible relation to gluten intolerance, and looking for "success stories" of men...

    Hi, I know this post is quite old, but wanted to mention the article I wrote a few months ago for celiac.com called "For Persistent Fatigue on a Gluten Free Diet, Consider Adrenal Fatigue". Also, you should know that guar gum is a good bulk forming laxative, although it's not a bowel stimulant. There's a difference. It definitely will promote regular...

    Hi, I wrote an article on xanthan gum sensitivity for celiac.com last year. It's fairly common, and unfortnately mimics many of the gastrointestinal symptoms of celiac disease - i.e. gas, diarrhea, and bloating. I have a mild form of it, but some of my cooking class students have severe symptoms from even very minor amounts. It sounds like xanthan gum...

    Thanks for your reply, Kyle. I'm sorry for all you've been through. My mother had colon cancer after years of having diverticulitis. Hopefully you've avoided any cancer, which does unfortunately occur at a higher rate in celiacs. I'm glad your wife is a doctor, too. Wendy

    Hi Danielle, I've heard of it - had a patient with it in the hospital (I'm a nurse). It took my persistence and multiple doctors and multiple imaging tests to find out what was wrong. The doctor demanded a psych. consult, as they often do when they don't know what's really wrong. I am so glad you were able to get a correct diagnosis. Wendy

    Hi, I'm a nurse writing a book on the bladder and other uninary health areas. In my research I ran across a link between chronic prostatitis and gluten intolerance or celiac disease. I've also written extensively in the past on a link between gluten intolerance/celiac disease and bladder symptoms, and am including this informaiton in my book. Adding...
