From Dr. Dinezza- "I often joke with my patients that I'm "in the club, too," meaning that I have battled many of the conditions I work with in my office. I found out I was a Celiac, healed my gut, cured what I now believe was SIBO, and got rid of my chronic allergies and sinus infections when I started my journey learning functional medicine. I have also dealt with chronic fatigue and Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) in recent years. In addition to my own first-hand experience, I helped my mom with her Hashimoto's early on in my learning, and autoimmune diseases continue to be another focal point of my work in Chapel Hill."

In her spare time, Dr. DiNezza enjoys spending time with her (nearly) 3 year old daughter, husband, and beagle, kayaking, sculling, arts and crafts, and trying new gluten and casein-free recipes.

See me in the IBS and SIBO Summit this September!

The Gluten & Grain Free Gourmet supports delicious eating that is gluten, grain, soy, and poultry free. Jen Cuevas experienced her own journey to wellness by eating this way, and desires to share the message that life can still be delicious!
Just a few short years ago, Jen was ill with a multitude of issues (although not typical “Celiac” symptoms), including high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, sudden weight gain [over 60 pounds], Hashimoto’s, and arthritis (read more of her story here). After more than seven frustrating visits with various doctors, she finally learned about her gluten sensitivity and Celiac disease. In becoming well, she found that life without gluten was really great from a health perspective, but affected everything else that had a social factor.

In the time since her diagnosis, Jen has spent a lot of time learning. She was treated by Dr. Glen Aukerman (author: Better Health in 120 days) and attended all of his classes to understand the medical aspect of how various foods affect gluten sensitivity. After further health issues inspired her to do more research, Jen went completely grain and soy free in 2012, and became a certified coach under the direction of Gluten Free Society. She uses her own health journey to coach and inspire others to consider dietary changes as a way to achieve optimum health. In 2013 she established a support group, and found that food availability continued to be the biggest barrier to success. She began developing food products that support a grain-free, soy-free and even dairy-free lifestyle; many items are allergy-friendly and are free of refined sugars. She also offers allergen-free Communion to churches, raising awareness about the effects of gluten exposure.

Meg H. Mason is an independent food scientist and researcher with a background in organic chemistry, nutrition, and food history, and has been living gluten-free since 2007. She started the blog Gluten-Free Boulangerie in 2010 to create and share GF breads delicious enough for everyone to enjoy. However, she soon began to wonder whether aiming to replicate wheat through the use of gums, highly-processed ingredients, eggs, and other common substitutes might actually be hindering, rather than helping, the quality of GF foods. On a more philosophical level, she also felt these ingredients were still standing in the way of truly “real bread.” 

Through continued research, Meg found that this “real bread” is indeed not only possible, but is also more delicious! She now develops whole-food-based recipes using techniques which bring out the natural structural and binding properties of GF ingredients. Some of these methods are new and experimental, while others are based on the diverse traditional uses of GF flours from around the world. She is currently working on a book which will explain the science of these ingredients and techniques in a way that is accessible to bakers from all backgrounds.
