Dear Gluten Dude

I get emails. Lots and lots of emails. People looking for answers. People sharing their stories. People asking if I’m single. Just kidding about that last one. I do my best to reply to every email and I post ones that may ring a chord with the community.

Dear Gluten Dude: My Daughter has Celiac. How Do I Get Over the Anger?

January 11, 2013 | 50 Comments

Dear Gluten Dude: Do I Call Myself a Celiac?

November 30, 2012 | 71 Comments

As much as I (we) hate having celiac disease, I’m happy to at least have some diagnosis that explains my issues. Well…most of my issues anyway 🙂 But there are tons of people out there who do not have the benefit of a celiac […]

Dear Gluten Dude: I'm Suicidal

November 14, 2012 | 119 Comments

The general population just doesn’t understand celiac disease and what it can do to those inflicted. Not that I blame them. It doesn’t get the media coverage that other diseases get and because the disease itself is food-related, many on the outside don’t take […]

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.
