Let's Write a Book Together! I'm Calling It 'Celiac Disease: The Manual'

August 8, 2014 | 151 Comments

There is no manual for living with celiac disease. No how-to guide to navigate your new life. I assume when you received your diagnosis, you got pretty much the exact same instructions from your doctor that I got from mine: Don’t eat gluten. So […]

August 5, 2014 | 119 Comments

Today is the day folks. The new FDA gluten-free labeling laws go into effect. A day the celiac community has been waiting forever for. And you know what this means don’t you? Yeah…neither do I. Like anything else the government gets involved in, it’s […]

Goodbye My Friend (A Poem Written to Gluten)

July 31, 2014 | 23 Comments

Tackling celiac with a sense of humor is an absolute must. A fellow celiac who was just diagnosed wrote a poem to gluten and she shared it with me on Facebook. I simply love it. And so I’m sharing it with you. That’s how […]

Let's Talk About (Gluten) Intolerance: An Interview With Chef Marc Vetri

July 29, 2014 | 197 Comments

My Facebook and Twitter feeds were all abuzz last week and we all know what that means. More dang controversy in the gluten-free world. What people were sending me was an article on Huffington Post titled “I’m Gluten Intolerant…Intolerant“. I figured it was just […]

You Need a Doctor…Not a Blogger

July 24, 2014 | 43 Comments

“Sooooooo I’m dying again. I went gluten free about 6 months after a celiac diagnosis and it helped for a little while but things are taking a turn for the worse. I’m 18, I don’t smoke or drink or have sex with random strangers […]

Celiac Rant: Gluten-Free and I Still Feel Like Crap

July 22, 2014 | 125 Comments

Hello everyone. Happy Tuesday to you all. Let’s start with a joke today because why not!? A photon checks into a hotel and the bellhop asks him if he has any luggage. The photon replies, “No, I’m traveling light.” No good? How about this […]

My Name is Mrs. Dude and This is My Breast Cancer Journey (So Far…)

July 18, 2014 | 87 Comments

Dude Note: I went back and forth a bit whether I should be posting Mrs. Dude’s breast cancer story on this blog. After all…this is a blog about living with celiac disease and how much of my audience really wants to hear about breast […]

Never Pass Up a Chance to be a Celiac Advocate

July 15, 2014 | 92 Comments

So yesterday, I spent a great day with one of my Dudettes at her college freshman orientation. Yes…I have an 18 year old. No…I have NO IDEA how that happened. Anyway, when everyone arrived, we all piled into the auditorium and the person running […]

From Hospice to Home: The Power of Gluten

July 10, 2014 | 57 Comments

I love your celiac stories. Every damn one of them. Though I might not comment on all of them (the Dude is a busy, busy man), I do read them all and respond when I can. There are some stories that just grab me […]

Enough With the Gluten-Free Haters!!

July 7, 2014 | 103 Comments

I think it’s time for a good old-fashioned “Gluten Dude Take Down”. It’s been awhile and I’m a bit out of practice, but after a month of holding my tongue as the gluten-free community got mocked, doubted and trampled upon, I can hold it […]

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.
