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.

    What's the deal with gluten-REMOVED beer? Is it celiac safe?

    "Life and beer are very similar. Chill for best results."In this episode, we're talking beer. More specifically, the difference between gluten-free beer (good) and gluten-removed beer (bad.) Listen in as Gluten Dude talks a bit about his own beer journey, both before and after celiac disease, and explains the BS behind gluten-removed beer. So belly on up to the bar, grab a cold one and enjoy.

  3. My family doesn't take my celiac disease seriously

    My family doesn't take my celiac disease seriously

    This is a tough one. A young woman writes to me, explaining that she is stuck at home for financial reasons, but her family doesn't take her celiac disease seriously and has pretty much written her out of the picture. There is a lot to unpack here. And as always, I do my best and explain what it is truly like to live with celiac disease (hint...it sux), hoping the family will "get it".

    I'm bitter and hate the person I've become

    It's beyond frustrating when you're doing the right thing, eating the right gluten-free foods, and you still can't heal. This fellow celiac is two months in, is hating life and considering throwing it all away and eating gluten. She needs to heal physically and psychologically. Listen in as I throw in my two cents.

    Gluten Dude is Feeling Grateful

    A little change-up here as I give thanks to the people in my life. Yeah...it's corny. But yeah...it's important. I also touch on my trip cross-country with my Dudette and my complete lack of preparation. Happy Thanksgiving folks!!

  6. How do I wean my 15 year old off of gluten-free junk food?

    How do I wean my 15 year old off of gluten-free junk food?

    Boy did I eat like crap when I was young. My mom changed things up (to my horror) and I cleaned up my diet. Yet when I was diagnosed with celiac disease, for some reason I just had to have gluten-free cookies, cakes, brownies, pizza, etc. I paid the price. Now a mom with a 15 year old who is newly diagnosed with celiac disease is asking how to wean her off the junk food that she has been so used to. Here's her email:"My 15 year old daughter was just diagnosed and is pissed as all ...

  7. How do I explain my celiac disease at work?

    11/03/2021

    How do I explain my celiac disease at work?

    I was diagnosed with celiac disease after I already began working from myself and working from home. So those days where celiac just got the best of me, I was able to shut it down. But what about if you work at an office? How do you explain to them that there are going to be times where celiac just kicks your butt and you won't be at your full capacity? That's the dilemma in today's Dear Gluten Dude. Here's the email:"Hi Gluten Dude. I've been gluten free for seven years now, ever since...

  8. Why do I still feel like crap if I'm eating 100% gluten-free?

    10/29/2021

    Why do I still feel like crap if I'm eating 100% gluten-free?

    The biggest lie in the world of celiac disease is that you'll feel better immediately once you begin your gluten-free diet. It sure as hell didn't happen to me and my guess is you also did not have those results. And it did not happen to this 19 year old woman, whose parents are frustrated. Here's the email:"Hi Gluten Dude. My daughter is nineteen and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease five months ago. She was having severe stomach pain and after landing in the hospital, a biopsy came back as ...
