A Cure for Celiac Disease: An Endoscopy?

July 9, 2012 | 36 Comments

“Dude…you’re an idiot. You’ve got that totally backwards! An endoscopy is a way to diagnose celiac disease; not treat it.” That may be true (both parts actually), but hear me out. If you recall from last month, I was going through a very rough […]

If You're Gluten-Free, You're a Picky Eater

July 6, 2012 | 56 Comments

Once again, us celiacs been lumped together with other “picky eaters”. The above video was from the Kathy Lee and Hoda show a few days ago. My apologies for the crappy quality, but it’s not nearly as crappy as the quality of the show […]

July 2, 2012 | 123 Comments

It is one of life’s complete mysteries why people care what celebrities have to say, like their words have more weight than yours or mine. But it’s the world we live in and since they go public with their thoughts, opinions, likes and dislikes, […]

You folks have been so awesome in creating this wonderful gluten-free community, I thought it’s time to give back a little. If you recall last month, I wrote a post about PF Chang’s. In response to my post, PF Chang’s graciously sent me a […]

Celiac Rant-of-the-Day: I Want to Punch People in the Face

June 26, 2012 | 80 Comments

I hate celiac. You hate celiac. We all hate celiac. With all that pent up anger, people need a place to vent. Well…I invite you to lie on the Dude’s couch (figuratively speaking) and spew away. I’m starting a new feature called “Celiac Rant […]

Celiac Disease: Assumptions vs. Reality

June 25, 2012 | 75 Comments

When I got my celiac diagnosis in 2007, after a year of not feeling well, I ASSUMED I would start feeling better if I just stopped eating gluten. Much of what I read online led me to that conclusion. But like many things with […]

The Gluten Dude turns 47 today. How the hell did that happen?? It’s just a number…it’s just a number…it’s just a number. That’s my mantra for the day. As I blow the candles out on my sushi tonight, here is what I’ll be wishing […]

Test Results: I Don't Have Syphilis

June 21, 2012 | 47 Comments

So last week, I met with a doctor who is now my primary care physician. Gave her my recent symptoms: exhaustion, headaches, stomach aches, etc. But also went over my medical history (celiac, bladder cancer, pulmonary embolisms) and she was quite perplexed as to […]

June 19, 2012 | 35 Comments

Ok…The Gluten Dude is jumping into the product review business. Well, I wouldn’t really call it a business ’cause, you know, I’m not making any money on it or anything. But lately I’ve been getting samples sent to me. It’s pretty cool. But 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.
