She Went Gluten-Free — Then Built a Granola Brand

23 years with gut issues. One cookie that tasted like wax.In this episode of Eat With Dominique, I sit down with Lisa Marsh, the founder of Ms. P’s Gluten Free, to talk about the long road that led her to build a granola brand rooted in health, flavor, and community.For decades, Lisa lived with digestive issues doctors couldn’t fully explain. She was told she had a “spastic colon” at 19 — but it wasn’t until she was 42 that she was finally diagnosed with a gluten-related issue.But when she tried going gluten-free, the next challenge appeared immediately: the food.One of the first gluten-free cookies she tried tasted, in her words, like hot wax.Yikes.Instead of settling for gluten-free food that didn’t taste good, she started baking — determined to prove that gluten-free could be both healthy and delicious.In this conversation, we talk about:• Living 23 years with undiagnosed gut issues• The moment she realized gluten might be the problem• Building Ms. P’s Gluten Free while staying connected to her South Side of Chicago community• And why she refused to bring gluten-free food to coworkers if it tasted like “dog food”Lisa also shares advice for anyone navigating a gluten-free diagnosis and learning how to advocate for their health.If you’ve ever struggled with gut issues, wondered whether gluten might be affecting you, or wished gluten-free food actually tasted good — this conversation is for you — especially the Black women navigating symptoms that doctors sometimes overlook.If this episode resonates, subscribe and share it with a fellow gluten-free, gut-friendly friend.You can also check out Ms. P’s Gluten Free — including their special 3 for $29.98 granola deal — at MsPsGlutenFree.com.Now, without further ado — grab a seat, and let’s Eat With Dominique.____________________________________                                                                                                                                                           💌If you’re navigating gluten-free or gut-friendly living, the Eat With Dominique newsletter is where everything connects — early access to full recipes, practical gut-health tips, community polls, and exclusive brand codes.
