Celiac Rant-of-the-Day: Don't be Such an Ass to My 6-Year-Old Celiac!

July 12, 2012 | 25 Comments

I think we can all agree that having celiac disease pretty much sucks at any age. But when a child is diagnosed, it just adds an extra layer of suckness to it. And you would think that people would go out of their way […]

Gluten-Free Beer: A New Era

July 11, 2012 | 150 Comments

My name is Gluten Dude and I’m a beer snob. It wasn’t always this way. My dad drank Carling’s Black Label while I was growing up so that was my first exposure to beer. Although calling Black Label beer is being generous. He’d give […]

A Cure for Celiac Disease: An Endoscopy?

July 9, 2012 | 36 Comments

“Dude…you’re an idiot. You’ve got that totally backwards! An endoscopy is a way to diagnose celiac disease; not treat it.” That may be true (both parts actually), but hear me out. If you recall from last month, I was going through a very rough […]

If You're Gluten-Free, You're a Picky Eater

July 6, 2012 | 56 Comments

Once again, us celiacs been lumped together with other “picky eaters”. The above video was from the Kathy Lee and Hoda show a few days ago. My apologies for the crappy quality, but it’s not nearly as crappy as the quality of the show […]

Celiac Rant-of-the-Day: I Guess Your Allergy is More Important Than Mine

July 3, 2012 | 36 Comments

It’s the holiday tomorrow. It’s a day to celebrate. It’s a day to relax. It’s a day to be with family. That is of course unless you have celiac disease and your family is a bunch of idiots. This leads us to today’s Celiac […]

Channing Tatum Goes Gluten Free. But I Wonder…

July 2, 2012 | 123 Comments

It is one of life’s complete mysteries why people care what celebrities have to say, like their words have more weight than yours or mine. But it’s the world we live in and since they go public with their thoughts, opinions, likes and dislikes, […]

Who I am. And who I'm not.

I AM someone who's been gluten-free since 2007 due to a diagnosis of severe celiac disease. I'm someone who can steer you in the right direction when it comes to going gluten-free. And I'm someone who will always give you the naked truth about going gluten free.

I AM NOT someone who embraces this gluten-free craziness. I didn’t find freedom, a better life or any of that other crap when I got diagnosed. With all due respect to Hunter S. Thompson, I found fear and loathing of an unknown world. But if I can share my wisdom, tell my stories and make the transition easier on you, I’ve done my job.
