Are McDonald's French Fries Gluten-Free? Does it Matter?

December 30, 2014 | 50 Comments

Dude note: This is not a “Dude on his pedestal” post telling everyone about the evils of McDonald’s. We all know they’re crap. (Yet…my senior year in high school, I ate at least 113 Big Macs. Ahh…youth.) Anyway, what this post is about is […]

I’m back. Oh…how I’ve missed you all. This is the fourth straight year that I’ve gone away to the Virgin Islands with the same group of friends and each year I try to get a blog post or two in while I’m away. This […]

Prepping for a Gluten Free Vacation

December 11, 2014 | 16 Comments

First, I’d like to apologize for the suckiness that has been my website for the past few weeks. I have literally been in technical hell trying to figure out why it’s been running so poorly. I’m frustrated and embarrassed that people have not been […]

Hey Applebees: We're Celiacs…We're Not Psychotic

December 8, 2014 | 46 Comments

So I blew my back out on Thanksgiving. Not the first time…and won’t be the last time. But it’s been a painful couple of weeks for me. Real painful. Mrs. Dude’s cousin was staying with us for the weekend. He also has a pretty […]

3 Celiac Videos – 3 Important Lessons

December 4, 2014 | 17 Comments

Sure…I could write a lot of words about the following videos but blah, blah, blah. Sometimes, videos just speak for themselves. Just remember, celiac disease bites, but a good attitude and strong sense of humor go a long way. Lesson 1: Celiac Disease Sucks […]

Some Friendly Advice from a 14-year-old Celiac

December 2, 2014 | 17 Comments

I just woke up from my Thanksgiving food coma. Let me know if I missed anything. While I LOVE getting emails from all of my fellow celiacs, there’s something special about receiving one from someone who’s much younger than I am. It’s a reminder […]

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.
