I Love Happy Endings!

April 12, 2013 | 10 Comments

Ahhh….what a great way to end a long week! I get lots of emails from fellow celiacs needing advice. I offer my advice and hope for the best. Some emails I share on the blog as part of my Dear Gluten Dude series and […]

April 10, 2013 | 36 Comments

After last week’s major media fail, it’s oh so nice when it’s done right. In the video above, Dr. Sanjay Gupta discusses the facts about gluten and celiac disease (yeah, I know, facts…what a concept) and talks about why the wrong people are going […]

April 8, 2013 | 15 Comments

Dude Note: I was going to blog today about Dr. Agatston, the South Beach Diet guy. He is on this big media tour and after his embarrassing stint on the Today Show Friday, he continues to spread garbage, but after a lot of anger […]

The Today Show Misleads, Misinforms & Even Misspells. What a Sad Gluten-Free Mess.

I took an awesome yoga class tonight. At the end of the class we did some deep breathing and were instructed to “inhale love and exhale gratitude.” I love that. Inhale love and exhale gratitude. Imagine if we could all do that all day […]

lucys gluten free granola not safe for celiacs

Lucy's Granola is ALMOST Gluten Free and Yet it's Still Safe for Celiacs? Really??

April 4, 2013 | 57 Comments

I’m not a mean-spirited guy. Honestly, I’m not. I’m a really nice guy. If I had friends you could ask them. (A classic line from the movie Splash.) I don’t enjoy taking small companies to task. But if my choice is between calling out […]

The South Beach Diet Goes Gluten Free

April 3, 2013 | 39 Comments

23,000,000. That’s the number of book sales for the original South Beach Diet by Dr. Arthur Agatston. Not too shabby. I once wrote a book called The Bartender’s Handbook: Making Drinks and Making Money. I think it had about 23 sales. Very shabby. I […]

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.
