it's lost all its meaning due to retards in the world claiming gluten intolerance when they're just little bitches.

I know some people with real, full blown celiacs and they can't even touch products with gluten without significant issues.

Yeah, when did gluten become a bad thing? I'm always confused by people who claim to have it, but really are perfectly fine. They probably just eat shitty and use gluten as an excuse of why they feel crappy because of it.

This. My spouse has celiacs and can't sit in a chair in our living room because someone spilled beer on it. He forgot once and sat down in it wearing shorts and spent 2 days on the shitter as a result.

I mean I guess if you want to pay more for your food go ahead. Also I'll warn you GF bread products/cookies/crackers etc can be really gross.

I actually suffer from a gluten deficiency. I have to add a gluten supplement to my meals.

Girlfriend does. I thought it was bs, but she really does feel better now, so whatever.

If you're worried, get tested before you change your diet. You need to be having a reaction for the test work and eating gluten that one day doesn't count.

Wheat is kind of blegh for me. I prefer rice and potatoes for my starches. I'm legit intolerant of tomatoes, red bell peppers, and peppers in general. But I love dairy and chicken. I honestly just eat whatever makes me feel best. I don't care about fad food hype. Wheat isn't that great of a starch in my opinion. Its okay in moderation. Beef has really declined in quality IMO. So I picked up eating more eggs as a protein source.

Some people have non celiac gluten intolerance while others have celiac disease. I've been reading about this stuff and there is some evidence that celiac and non celiac gluten intolerance can be treated either with a pro-biotic (though they don't know which bacteria combination is necessary and no two pro-biotics are reliable/alike/etc) or if desperate, a poo transplant.

Why did peanut allergies and all sorts of other things suddenly become so common? I dunno

No I haven't, but I will! Thanks, I'm always on the look out for new products to try.

They post a lot of recipes to their Facebook page. Also check out their Instagram because they repost other people's creations. The tortillas are excellent & the cookies are great. Huge gamechanger for people who can't have gluten. It's expensive, but it's cheaper than buying almond & other super-expensive flours. Also note it's not for yeasty recipes, so the breads aren't real good, although they do have a French baguette recipe that works pretty well now.

Just order some Papa Johns. Their crust uses a really high gluten flour that is pretty noticeable if you have any sort of intolerance.

There's more to the story. You can get an endoscopy & biopsy to get tested for Celiac's, but mine came back negative. My doctor said they can only detect about half of gluten intolerances using current medical tools like IgE blood tests & so on; we don't have the technology to identify the remaining cases yet. I'm sure some people use gluten intolerance as a fad diet or for weight loss or even for attention, but it's also a legitimate issue for a lot of people. Personally, I have no idea why you would give up gluten (sandwiches, pizza, croissants, dinner rolls, breakfast cereals, hotdog & hamburger buns, fried chicken, cookies, cakes, etc.) willingly. It's extremely hard to cut out of your diet because they put it in nearly everything these days; if gluten really makes you feel ill, it's a total nightmare because you have to completely change how you eat, how you shop, going out to eat with family & friends, everything. Can also add a lot of expense to your food budget if you like to bake or cook & want to make similar meals without the wheat. A small bag of almond flour is like twelve bucks!

The second problem is that there is more than one source vector for the root cause. There is growing researching linking glyphosate (Roundup) to gluten intolerance. For me, it turned out to be SIBO, which was caused by a surgery I had as a kid. Eating gluten caused a range of non-deathly symptoms (i.e. I never had to use an Epipen because it didn't constrict my throat) such as anxiety, coldness, arthritis, brain fog, fatigue, etc. because I wasn't able to digest it, and it was too far down the GI tract for the endoscopy to see, so it went undetected my whole life until I learned about it this summer, got the special test done (3-hour breath test), and got treated for it. Being able to eat gluten again is amazing. But even after half a lifetime of research, I had never even heard of this condition until a few months ago. There's just so many things that can go wrong with your body, and they're discovering new things all the time. For example, SIBO only really got traction a few years ago & most doctors aren't familiar with it at all yet.

Unfortunately SIBO is not the root cause for everyone, and we just don't have the medical tech to diagnose every root cause yet, so we're stuck with people with the flat-earth mentality who feel they are experts chiming in, adamantly, to say it's not real, which is frustrating because then you not only have to deal with feeling crummy all the time, but also with people telling you it's all in your head. It's like saying cancer isn't curable...we don't have the technology yet, but that doesn't mean it won't ever exist, and progress is being made. Look at the history of medicine...we struggled for years with tetanus, rabies, polio, yellow fever, measles, smallpox, and all of those are cured now through medicine & vaccinations. Right now, a ton of people are complaining about feeling mildly sick all the time from eating wheat-based products & we don't have a definitive answer...yet. Especially if one of the root cause does turn out to be something like glyphosate, that's more than likely something that has to be tracked long-term like smoking cigarettes, which people were in denial about for decades until the medical science came out & proved what was happening.

TL;DR - you can get tested, but that is only valid in half the cases. My gluten-related issues did not show up on any allergy test. Ate it, felt like crap, cut it out, felt better. It ultimately ended up being a different root cause which required a specialty test, which fortunately was managable (not curable) & I can now eat gluten without consequence.

GMO's, plastics, Roundup, microwaves, computer monitor radiation, vaccines, antibiotics in humans, antibiotics in animals, carpet outgassing, gamma radiation, who knows. Our environment is so different today than it was 50 years ago or even 20 years ago. Some school teachers I've talked to say they are seeing 5 to 10 kids per class with severe food allergies, some with life-threatening food allergies, and some even have to get Epipen training due the volume of kids coming in with those problems. This definitely wasn't a problem when I was a kid in the 80's & 90's...very few kids had allergies. Initially I would say that's because we didn't have the tools to diagnose them, but I don't think that's the case...I only knew one kid in elementary school who was allergic to stuff, and everyone knew who he was & not to eat peanuts around him. Now the problem is much more widespread, so it needs a different kind of solution to deal with than in the past.

Supposedly it affects one percent of the population, so statistically a couple of people here would have to have it.

I want to preemptively declare them pussies for not just getting over it though. Real men power through deadly allergies. We sneer at anaphylaxis.

i think i might stop eating gluten for a month

My wife and half a bajillion of other buzzfeed\Facebook addicts around here are on the "Gluten free" bandwagon.

Here is the deal...
If you go from not paying attention to what you shove in your face to paying attention to what you shove in your face you will see a benefit.
At the very least the sheer act of hopping on the bandwagon is enough to trigger a placebo effect modified with the bandwagon rule.
If everyone does it...it must be good.
If I do it with everyone, I feel good.
Therefore bandwagon helped me therefore it should help everyone.


Side note: A lot of the Gluten free stuff on the shelf is garbage.


A lot of the folks I know who saw benefit from the gluten free bandwagon are the ones who swapped out pasta and bread for....wait for it.......wait for it.........wait for it.......wait for it....
vegetables.

Imagine that, introducing some damn greens on your dish instead crap benefited you. Skipping the foot long meatball parm sandwich and going with a piece of chicken and some green beans resulted in a thinner you with better skin.

I try to cut back on it just because cutting back on gluten means cutting back on wheat, which is generally a good thing to do.

But I will still have some wheat products from time to time.

I actually bought a bag of vital wheat gluten! It will last an eternity I suspect. Had to use a little bit for a cinnamon role recipe. OMG they were fantastic. Recipe creator said they are a Cinnabon clone. I think they are almost spot-on. Phenomenal. Now I want to make more of them.


... sorry, Celiac folks. I didn't mean to be insensitive.
I was forever trying to look into how to make a low-gluten version with other ingredients but gave up.

I know exactly one person with Celiac's (well two, his 2 year old has it), but probably 20 or so people who haven't actually gone to a doctor and been diagnosed with gluten intolerance but just decided to buy expensive gluten-free food just because they "heard it was healthy".

Most of them are white women.
