In the spirit of being Celiac Disease Awareness month and having just eaten lots of gluten free pizza & pasta on a trip to Italy, it’s the perfect time to share my episode with Phil, or Phil Hates Gluten as Instagram and TikTok know him. I have had Celiac Disease (which means I am allergic to gluten) for over 16 years, so this episode hits home. I had so much fun talking to Phil about our gluten free lifestyles, the struggles and annoyances that come with being allergic to such a common foods that gluten is in, and all of our favorite substitutes.
During the episode, we chat about…
How Phil discovered he had a gluten allergy and how switching to a gluten free lifestyle has changed his life
The process of him educating himself on what he can & cannot eat
The challenges that gluten free people face
My own personal experience with Celiac Disease and how it has played a role in my life
How Phil got started in the content creation space & where he has found success
The pros and cons of being a content creator and what a typical day may look like
How to advocate for your allergies when dining out
The foods we miss the most, and the ones we think still need gluten free alternatives
Our favorite gluten free spots in major cities including, New York City, DC, and Boston
And of course, we chat about all of our favorite gluten free brands
For those who are gluten free or are interested in understanding what their gluten free friends struggle with, I recommend listening. We also talk in depth about content creation which many of you may also find interesting. Overall, it is such a fun episode, and I cannot wait for you all to listen :)
