Dear Gluten Dude
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.

Today we're talking gluten-free pizza and whether wheat starch in items labeled gluten-free can really be trusted. Here is the email I received:
Dear Gluten Dude: My daughter is 18 and has celiac disease. She has had an accidental exposure recently to Digiorno Gluten Free pizza. She had such a violent reaction to it where she ruptured a vessel in her stomach and vomited blood. They are not certified gluten free and use the gluten removed wheat (wheat starch). How is this possible and how is it even legal???
