Celiac Disease: Is This as Good as it Gets?

July 13, 2012 | 60 Comments

A month or so ago, I was in the midst of a pretty crappy stretch health-wise and went all-out to find a cause and a solution for my health woes. Truthfully, it’s been up and down since my diagnosis in 2007 and I simply […]

July 12, 2012 | 25 Comments

I think we can all agree that having celiac disease pretty much sucks at any age. But when a child is diagnosed, it just adds an extra layer of suckness to it. And you would think that people would go out of their way […]

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 […]

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 […]

Channing Tatum Goes Gluten Free. But I Wonder…

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 […]

Who I am. And who I'm not.

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.
