A Call to NBC to Remove Their NASCAR Super Bowl Ad

January 28, 2015 | 251 Comments

This is not a rant. This is not a rave. For this post, I am using my quiet voice. Yes…I have a quiet voice. A fellow celiac notified me that NBC was running a Super Bowl ad immediately following the end of the game […]

With Celiac Disease, Attitude is EVERYTHING

January 28, 2015 | 16 Comments

Longest. Month. Ever. I came into 2015 with a revived spirit and a new outlook on life. I was going to work smarter, spend more time with Mrs. Dude and the Dudettes and overall be more productive and less stressed. So what happened? I’m […]

Joy Behar: An Absolute Gluten-Free Train Wreck

January 21, 2015 | 104 Comments

My friends…there is no JOY in celiac-ville today. We will not be taking any JOY rides this week. The Morning Joe show is no longer my pride and JOY (not that it ever was.) I will not be singing JOY to the World any […]

This 12-year-old Celiac Can Teach Us ALL a Lesson

January 20, 2015 | 24 Comments

When I think back to being 12 years old, I totally cringe. It was not the best time to be me. To misquote Frank Sinatra…”When I was 12 years old, it wasn’t a very good year.” I had zero self-esteem. Zero confidence. Everybody would […]

Happy Friday everyone. A few quick Dude notes before I kick things off. – Note #1: I’ve gotten a bazillion messages asking me about the Pizza Hut gluten free pizza. I’ll need more info before making an informed opinion. My original thought is that […]

CVS Will No Longer Check My Meds for Gluten. Here’s Why.

January 14, 2015 | 81 Comments

So one of my goals in 2015 was to begin to meditate on a daily basis. I need to de-stress a bit and people who meditate swear by it. I’ve been thinking about it for years, but I read on the interwebs that thinking […]

The Mother of All Celiac Rants

January 12, 2015 | 37 Comments

As I am now on day nine of feeling like absolute dog poop (maybe I SHOULD have gotten that flu shot after all), it’s a good a day as any to post a celiac rant. It’s been awhile since I posted one of these […]

A Dudette is Hurting…So the Dude Ranch Goes Gluten-Free

January 7, 2015 | 152 Comments

Cough, hack, sneeze, cough, sniff, wheeze, cough, hack. You may want to stand back from your computer screen a bit while you read this as I’ve got what it seems everyone else is getting. I don’t think it’s contagious through the internet, but you […]

What Do You Do When Your In-laws Won’t Feed You?

January 5, 2015 | 57 Comments

Happy New Year everyone. Hope you all had a great holiday. Personally, I’m pretty psyched for 2015 and am happy to see 2014 in the rear view mirror. Let me ask you a question. During the holidays, did you eat any meals at someone […]

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.
