Dude Update on 10/09/15: 1.8 million boxes of Gluten-Free Cheerios have been recalled on 10/06/15 due to 1) error 2) negligence and 3) lack of proper testing. It’s that last one that should bug the crap out of you. Read here for details. I […]

Gluten in Probiotics. Who Can We Trust?

May 20, 2015 | 71 Comments

I’m in a pretty pissy mood this morning. Not only do I have the celiac cranks (fighting thru exhaustion and feeling “off”), but it was just announced that many probiotics that say “gluten-free” on the label actually…aren’t. Very nice. And just in time for […]

Udi’s & Smashburger: A Gluten-Free Disaster

April 9, 2015 | 84 Comments

This is either a story of good intentions gone bad. Or it’s a story of a BS move by a large gluten-free company. I will let you be the judge. This story starts in the Summer of 2014 with the following announcement from Smashburger: […]

I Don't Want Your "Gluten-Friendly" Wheat!

October 9, 2014 | 85 Comments

My question for you this lovely morning is simple. Why do companies who have no vested interest in our health keep coming up with products that they think we need and that can possibly harm us? Do they think we’re that desperate to feel […]

Wanna see something? Take a minute and go to this site: GlutenDude.org. Go on…I’ll wait. ……………. Now wasn’t that interesting? Have a seat and I’ll tell you the back story. Last August, somebody told me about Bart & Judy’s Gluten-Free Cookies. They’re labelled gluten-free […]

How Does a GLUTEN-FREE BAKERY Compete with a gluten-free bakery?

April 10, 2014 | 34 Comments

First, a quick Dude note: May is Celiac Awareness Month but I’ll be kicking things off a bit early. After much agonizing debate (said simply for dramatic effect), I’ve decided to go with the theme “30 Days of Helping 30 Fellow Celiacs”. The official […]

Wheat Chex are Gluten Free? I'm Not Sure Whether to Laugh or Cry.

February 25, 2014 | 92 Comments

I’m not gonna rant about this one. (Dude note: If you can’t see the picture above, click here.) I really try to balance the pulse of this blog so I don’t come across as a complainer; though lord knows there’s enough to kvetch about […]

Is Omission Beer Really "Risk-Free" for Celiacs??

November 19, 2013 | 213 Comments

I had a dream last night. I was at a gluten-free convention. This one booth had two different rice dishes set up for people to taste. I grabbed a fork and excitedly took a few bites of one of the dishes. Only after 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.
