As a suffer of end stage liver disease, Crohn's and Celiac Diseases caused by a failure of my autoimmune system I've spent the last year researching gluten free diets that would work with all the diseases. This pro-active balancing act took months to perfect and has enabled me to eat healthy and delicious meals that allowed me to eliminate my medications for the Crohn's and Celiac disease. My next mission was to research and learn about the transplant organ sharing program to help me prepare myself for the liver transplant operation. Spending more than a year researching extensively about how the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) program operates gave me a better understanding of the importance of knowledge when it came to transplants and the importance of choosing the proper transplant center that would offer me the shortest possible wait time with the highest long term survival rate. Because of my extensive research, I was offered to write blogs for some of the most highly regarded transplant centers to help pre & post transplant patients understand the importance of diet and understand the inner workings of the transplant program.

I’m currently the Founder and CEO of Vincent Labs where we develop life saving foods for failure to thrive and hospital patients. I’ve written books for travelers on gluten free dinning and created a free site for gluten free diets at www.eatrightgf.com.
