Do you have celiac disease (or love someone who does) and struggle with the nuances of this insidious autoimmune condition? You’re not alone. Gluten Dude has been an advocate for the celiac community since 2011, three years after his diagnosis and two years after he stopped weeping in the grocery store aisles. With passion and humor, he has written over 700 articles on his website, which have generated over 34,000 comments. Listen in as he answers questions from people just like you, doing their best to adjust to this challenging gluten-free journey. Each episode is short and sweet…just like Gluten Dude himself.

Here's her email:"My 15 year old daughter was just diagnosed and is pissed as all ...
