Going gluten-free is extremely rewarding and life-changing. But it's not without its challenges.
Finding gluten-free foods, withdrawal symptoms and emotions can make it very difficult to stay on a gluten-free diet.
Joining Dr. Ritamarie to give you some ideas, tips and guidance on the gluten-free path is Debbie Sipowicz.

Bravo, I really enjoyed Debbie’s interview. The 4 stages of death was a very clear reminder of how to move through letting go of wheat/gluten, and how it is like losing your best comfort friend.
I believe I am moving out of denial, anger and bargaining…:), and my 16 year old son is willing to give it a go with me. I have Dr. Rita’s Dried and Gone To Heaven book, and I wilil also visit Debbies site.
In Appreciation, the “timing” of these calls coming to me now is syncronicistically Divine.
To the New Normal,
Annette
Been ‘GF’ for a little over a year now – but this series has really helped me to better grasp the ‘why behind the what’ and it is making a huge difference! Understanding the why’s of GF has strengthened my motivation, dedication and acceptance of this new way of life as well as how I view food – I am actually starting to enjoy ‘being in the kitchen’. Thank you so much! For newbies – be encouraged and don’t give up – it’s worth it!
