Custom Choice Cereal recently learned that Steve from “Steve and Johnnie” on WGN radio 720 was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2001 and hosts what he calls “the first gluten-free radio show”.

He has some advice for newly diagnosed celiacs on his website, and we totally agree with the two most important remarks he makes:

1. Relax! Knowing the problem is half the battle
2. Don’t cheat!

It’s revealing how some topics come up again and again, and we wrote about the implications of cheating on a gluten-free diet just about a week ago. There are some useful resources on the WGN website for newly diagnosed celiacs that you can browse through by clicking on the picture below.
