For people like my wife (Celiac), the idiots are welcome. If it wasn't for them driving the market to produce more gluten free products, those with Celiac would have far fewer options.
Also, I do believe that I heard that actual cases of Celiac are sort of on the rise; they're better diagnosed these days. |

I've read that around 7% of the population has a problem with gluten and that gluten helps with blood pressure and inflammation. Assuming that's true I'd hate to see gluten go the way of trans fats. And gluten free products often have more fat, more sugar and are more expensive. Meh, I bake my own protein bread and add gluten flour. I'm set.

My wife has non celiac gluten sensitivity. It was almost 12 months of failed testing and her being sick. She started a gluten free diet and has been 100% healthy.

You are correct, Callgood. A gluten free diet is, unfortunately for sufferers, actually unhealthy.

At a local collage one of the professors would start his class every year by thanking the 95% of the students for registering for his class as it made it possible for the five percent that would get something out of it to have a class to attend. Oh, and thank you computer obsessives for being addicted, or I wouldn't have such a fun job. |

It's only stupid because GF Mac-n-cheese is still really bad for you. "Gluten" isn't the problem for people without celiacs, it's large quantities of wheat in our diet.

These people have no reason at all to avoid gluten, yet they loudly insist that they must avoid it, they are stupid. The sheer stupidity is annoying, but what is really problematic is that while the supply of gluten free stuff for those who legitimately need it is increasing, the supply of real food is going down, which is a problem because the gluten free is more expensive and has that bland lifeless hospital food taste to it, and as others have mentioned it's really not as good for you. It wouldn't bother me nearly so much if there was a reason for it, but there's not, it's just pure stupidity and sheep behavior. |

I am 95% gluten free, I eat regular food at birthday parties, family meals etc so the host doesn't feel compelled to prepare extra dishes. I don't think I have an issue with wheat, just how I was getting it. The roll on my cheeseburger, the crust in the pizza, the pasta under the pile of cheese. Cutting wheat from my diet eliminated a lot of the bad calories that came with it. I replaced pasta with rice, sweet potatoes and vegetables. The only "gluten free" products we buy are Barilla pasta (2 yo and 4 yo, can't be without noodles once a week) and cereal, Chex, not even a specialty brand. In my first six months without wheat, I dropped 25 pounds, no other lifestyle changes. It's been 18 months, diet is no problem, I feel fine, grocery bill has not become crazy. YMMV |

You would be surprised how much stuff has gluten in it. You would think a baked potato at a restraunt would be ok, but a lot of places use salt that has a wheat substance on it to make it stick to the potato.

Such a level of idiocy expressed in this thread.
Several million people have celiac disease; many millions have low grade reactions. The gluten of today is not the same as 40 years ago. "Big food" changed it genetically. The changes they made should require hundreds of generations of evolution to adapt. Instead, it's hardly 2 generations. You idiots in your twenties who can pound shit on a daily basis have no idea what happens in your forties, after consuming toxic unnatural food like substances for several decades. Drink a sixpack at age 20; drink a sixpack at age 40. If you think it's gonna feel the same, then you're still 20. There is so much crap in our food system it's unbelievable. And the way it affects you at a slightly more advanced age is dramatically different than when you were a kid. Gluten and wheat in general are not natural in terms of where we are as human beings. But none of this rant matters: No reason for anyone to take anyone's word. Just stop consuming wheat and gluten for 6 weeks or so; then add it back in and see how you feel. If there's no change, you're right. I'm betting there would be lots of surprised folks around here if you actually tried this little experiment. But it's more fun to complain about stupid marketing, while eating your bowl of cocoa puffs. |

I have it. Very painful when you eat the wrong stuff. Have pretty much given up eating the gluten free food. Taste like crap and very disappointing. If I could only eat one gluten thing it would be English muffins and I would be satisfied. The stuff they substitute for wheat flour health wise isn't really any better for you. Going to a restaurant is like tip toeing thru a mine field.

As the father of 4 children with confirmed celiac disease I thank the lunatics daily for pushing the market to offer gluten free products. I eat gluten but my wife and kids cannot. It sure makes it easier when shopping to find what they can and can't eat when products are labeled "gluten free". Some of them may seem silly but you would be amazed at what products contain gluten. We even had to change the children vitamins the kids were taking because they contained gluten.

Since being with someone who will get VERY ill if she eats any gluten, I've been a label hound, but I'd still prefer a big fat "GF" label on products, just to make it easy on me. Soy sauce, for example, most of them contain wheat. Why? Reasons. So I'm happy that Kikkoman labels their shit as gluten free so I don't have to wonder. OP, I gotta say man, why you mad, bro?

Why is it I can't walk in to a grocery store without every damn thing being proudly vaunted as "gluten free?" Even things which do not and never have contained any wheat product whatsoever in them are marketed this way. Are there that damned many celiacs a out there? No, there is not, but what there is is a bunch of simple minded dumb fucks being lead around by pop-nutrition that have no fucking idea what gluten even fucking is or why it is supposedly "bad," they just mindlessly follow whatever the TV and their clueless friends tell them, so now all the fucking country must be marketed to like we all have a fucking wheat allergy all so these dumbasses think they are eating "healthy" when they slam down their 16 inch extra everything pizza made with the magical "gluten free" dough. These are the same people who think that undersized, misshapen, bug eaten, and three times the cost of everything else "organic" food is somehow better just because it is grown using 18th century farming technology, these ignorant fucking Luddites don't even know the definition of the word organic, but the TV says it's good for them. I just watched some idiot go through the grocery store checkout line prostolatizing all within earshot about the "evils" of gluten and vaccinations which to her tiny brain cause autism, all evidence to the contrary aside.

Real fuckin' weird. Oh Lawdy, how can anyone survive on such a restrictive diet? I mean, other than 200,000 years of human evolution, or course. But other than that?
A proper shrimp boil is gluten (and even carb) free. And yours is the best on planet earth. Thanks.
And I am not doing paleo. I am doing Keto it is most horrible so far. I bet you're hating life right now. It's HOOOOOORRIBLE! Yes, I miss muh carbs. But got to slim down for CWE. |

I just started a gluten free diet. But that's only because it's a low carb diet and gluten is too many carbs. Gluten has no carbohydrates. Gluten is a protein. No shit. But find me a grain that doesn't contain carbs. |

Celiac checking in.
It killed my great-aunt. I never met her (she died before I was born) of an intestinal cancer that was connected to her being a Celiac. The fad aspect of "gluten free" is silly but I have profited so much from it that I hope those crazy diamond fruit bats keep on keeping on. The history of the disease is interesting. It was identified in the modern era during the period around WWII in Europe due to the drastic food shortages. IIRC a pediatrician connected with an orphanage in Holland was forced to find alternative foods and the kids who had failed to thrive on the regular diet did well with boiled tulip bulbs. This was something he found intriguing and he went in search of a medical reason. |
