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.
