from crappy to happy

The Dude helped me through the most challenging health crisis I have had. Nothing was working, and I could not think, or tolerate the foods I had always eaten. Fatigue, brain fog, cramps ........ Not only was his advice helpful, but his attitude is amazing.

This book is very good. Gluten Dude is one of the most informative and honest people in the celiac community. His book really explains what it's like to live with celiac disease, with plenty of humor thrown in. He makes you feel less alone with the disease and reminds you that your disease does NOT control your life, you control your disease through healthy choices.

I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and wanted to learn more. The catchy title got me and I'm glad I chose this book as my first read to educate myself in my new life. I learned a lot Gluten Dude. Thank you!

I felt that I had read everything under the sun about Celiac, knew enough, and didn't think I'd ever buy another book on the topic. I had heard about Gluten Dude from a friend, and decided to try this book. It made me cry. I would suggest that anyone with Celiac, or anyone who knows someone with Celiac, read it. It tells you like it is, from the grief (grocery) store to the thing that no one tells you...that a gluten free diet is not enough.

This is the FIRST book you should read if diagnosed with Celiac Disease! It is a fast, easy read and will get your head into “the right mindset“ to start your journey. Will cutting out gluten alone make you feel good again? NO. Gluten Dude has generously shared his experience, as well as the experiences of so many other celiacs, so that you don’t need to make those same mistakes. You go from feeling overwhelmed and panicked to "I can do this.” God Bless Gluten Dude (and Mrs. Dude).

My humble thanks to the Dude himself (no, seriously, many thanks, man). First thing I will say about the book is it does give a pull no punches kind of honesty on dealing with this, along with a refreshing perspective (I'm already 70 pages in at this point). If anything, if you have celiac, or want to know more about it, then I recommend giving this a read. And to Gluten Dude himself, thanks for giving a youngish fella some hope on how to manage this.

I'm on page 24 and had to put it down to write this review!!! Well I was diagnosed 13 years ago. Always thin, always had a tummy-ache, blah, blah, blah. Just sat down to read this GD book (ha,ha, I get it!) GREAT info. Yes, I am still struggling, still learning what triggers my CD. THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU! Think you know it all, well you probably don't, so BUY THIS BOOK!

Since being diagnosed with Celiac this year, I have read multiple books on living with the disease. This is by far the best one. Filled with humor, real scenarios, and helpful advice, this book has really spelled out how to move from a crappy Celiac existence to, at the very least, a manageable Celiac existence. Thanks, Gluten Dude, for keeping us all from feeling alone!

I was lost and didn't even know where to start, googled Celiac books and poof! A buoy to grab on to as I drift from my old life into this not-yet-familiar celiac one. Thank you for compiling this. It made the difference after walking out of the Doctor office three months ago with the apparently well-trodden "don't eat gluten and you'll be fine" tag line from the nutritionist. I wish I'd found this sooner. Thank you thank you thank you Gluten Dude.
