Eating Out

Eating out with celiac disease can be an adventure in fear and trepidation. And many restaurants don’t make it any easier. Is this section, I cover who does it right, who does it wrong and everything in between.

Well That Sucked (And Yet…It Didn't)

November 16, 2012 | 33 Comments

How can a night be so delightful yet so sucky? It’s simple. I have celiac disease. Yesterday was Mrs. Dude’s birthday and we wanted to do something different. As much as we love our favorite sushi restaurant, going to the same place time after […]

Too Much Fun = Too Much Pain

November 12, 2012 | 49 Comments

If the above title were reversed, this post would actually be about sadomasochism…and wouldn’t that be a nice change of pace? But alas, we are instead talking about celiac disease. So last week was a good week in the fun department. Wednesday night, my […]

Here’s an email that I would think a lot of fellow celiacs can relate to. How do you relax enough to enjoy your life when you spend every waking minute paranoid that you will get sick? Read on and share your advice… ——————————————– Dear […]

Paying the Price for My Weakness

September 1, 2012 | 75 Comments

You want to know what I hate more than celiac disease at times? Me. I need to do better. I need to be better. I need to be a better husband. I need to be a better father. I need to be a better […]

Dear Gluten Dude: I Keep Getting Glutened During Business Trips. I Need Advice.

August 22, 2012 | 22 Comments

I am doubly blessed when it comes to my work life. Not only do I work for myself, but I also work from home. And because I run an web design company, I rarely have to travel. (It’s ok to hate me for this…I […]

A Weak Moment: How Hunger Clouded My Judgement

July 25, 2012 | 32 Comments

I read the books on staying healthy. I subscribe to Men’s Health. I follow the “healthy living” blogs. And they all say the same thing: Do not let yourself get too hungry. This is when eating mistakes happen (i.e. overeating, eating crap, etc.) For […]

Eat Your Gluten-Free Pizza Naked

July 20, 2012 | 30 Comments

I miss pizza. I really miss pizza. But there are some things about the pizza I used to have pre-celiac days that I don’t miss. The grease. The calories. The feeling like crap afterwards. Well…we are entering what I hope is a new dawn […]

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 […]

Dear Gluten Dude: I am Gluten Intolerant. What Should I do When Eating Out?

June 8, 2012 | 30 Comments

First, a quick Dude health update: I went to see my GI yesterday. He says something is definitely going on, but it is not necessarily the celiac. My blood work from a few months back showed no gluten antibodies, so it’s not hidden gluten […]

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.
