Erika Demmer from Celiac and the Beast
Erika was diagnosed in 2009. She is a full-blown Celiac with a sprinkling of gastroparesis, osteopenia, hypermobility disorder, endometriosis, thyroid shenaningans, and a whole host of other health issues. She didn't realize that cosmetics could have wheat as a main ingredient, but when she realized that most of her cosmetics contained wheat, she threw out most of her shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and cosmetics and started with new, fresh gluten-free cosmetics.
Erika really doesn't love cooking (aka she throws a lot of my failed dishes out). In order to eat, she uses a lot of gluten-free products. Erika is always looking for the newest gluten-free food item to review on her website.
She says she lives with a "great dude" who is super into the gluten-free lifestyle – even though he is not gluten-sensitive
In her past life, Erika's career landed in the PR, advertising and corporate market, research. In this life, Erika is part of the sheknows.com experts program, is the managing editor for Gluten Free and More Magazine, subject matter expert and lifestyle speaker, she has appeared on live promotional tv spots, is a member of the New Hope Blogger Network and writes her blog on her website celiac and the beast.com This year alone, she is appearing in 7 different cities to speak on the topic of being gluten-free and living the gluten-free lifestyle.
We talk about food shaming, what it means to be celiac and how Erika has found her special someone who takes care of her through more thick than thin! What it takes to find a significant other who accepts you for all you're worth and all the bad times you can have from celiacs (and other sickness too!).
Have you read her book Celiac and the Beast ? If you are Celiac and you haven't, check out this link to grab yourself a copy to read and enjoy! You should also check out her website Celiac and the Beast and her blogpost 2018 Gluten-Free Back to School Guide
If you are near a Legal Seafoods, Erika highly recommends that you eat there! They can make anything their menu gluten-free and dairy-free!
