I have been gluten free since 1996 when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Since that time I have learned the art of living well gluten free.  I went dairy free in November, 2010.  Living gluten free and dairy free is not always easy, but is doable.  When I first went gluten free, there were not many resources or gluten free items available in grocery stores.  We have come a long way!  In order to pay it forward, I served as president of the Oklahoma Celiac Support Group for nearly ten (10) years and served on the board of the Celiac Sprue Association, Inc., a national support organization. I have also  authored several articles on Celiac Disease to help others living gluten free.

I believe that attitude is everything.  A gluten free diet can be a blessing or a curse–you choose.  For me, it’s a blessing.  My husband and I are practicing attorneys in Oklahoma City and the proud owners of two Boxers, Daisy and Rosco.
