Do you know Erica Dermer? You might know her better by her blog name, Celiac and the Beast. She is a HUGE Celiac Disease advocate. How she manages to do it all amazes me. She
- runs a hugely successful blog
- is an editor for Gluten Free and More magazine
- is an ambassador for the organization Beyond Celiac
- stands up for truthful Celiac Disease info and dispels myths and rumors
- travels to conferences around the country to educate and encourage others
- has written a book and designed clothes like the hoodie pictured below.
She's like a Celiac Wonder Woman.
Although Erica is so highly accomplished, she's incredibly down to earth. I follow her website and on social media not just for information, but because she has a great sense of humor and is honest about life. We've all had days when Celiac Disease has kicked our butts. Erica does too, but she's great at showing the triumphs of when we can kick it right back. She is passionate about learning as much as she can about Celiac Disease so she can share that information with all of us. Because we're part of a community that should help each other.
She's willing to share a copy of her book with one lucky reader as well. Her honest (and humorous) sharing of her personal journey from illness to diagnosis to health feels like you're sitting in a room talking to a long-time friend. Her book allows you those moments when you can laugh out loud about this disease. (Well, at least I did when I read it!)
