The conclusion of our special 100th Episode (Episode 101). The guys continue their entertaining trip down memory lane with a impressive variety of guests and topics from their first 99 episodes.

Keith Van Sickle grew up near San Fransisco and has had a successful career in the tech industry. Twenty years ago, he was transferred to Switzerland and it changed his life. He and his wife decided later to quit their jobs, work as consultants, and split their time between France and California. Since the move, Keith has been diagnosed with celiac and talks about what it is like to navigate the gluten-free lifestyle in the land of baguettes and croissants.

It’s Holiday time and Mike and Cam get in the Holiday “spirit” by sampling a couple of spirits! They also talk about Mike’s recent trip east that was full of gluten free goodness.

Mike and Cam are extremely pleased to be joined by celiac and gluten free trailblazer Jules Shepard. Jules is an associate editor of Gluten Free & More magazine. We talk to Jules about the challenges she faced finding safe gluten free food during a recent hospital stay, and ways that we can all advocate for ourselves when faced with these types of situations. We also discuss Jules’ longtime work as a celiac advocate and how a giant gluten free cake ultimately lead to initial gluten free labeling rules and enforcement by the FDA.
