(03:35) Phil is a content creator who pokes fun at the gluten free lifestyle on TikTok, where he’s built an audience of over 121K gluten-hating friends. It all started a few years ago when he was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE) and was told by doctors to go gluten free–without much guidance on how to do so. (He’s also dairy free, but ‘Phil Hates Gluten’ just rolls off the tongue way more). We’re talking about what it was like to receive a diagnosis that would completely change the way he ate (05:07), sharing his story with the world, gluten free beers (27:17) and more! Follow @PhilHatesGluten on TikTok or Instagram for his sarcasm and GF/DF food recommendations. For merch, check out philhatesgluten.com.
