    So you were diagnosed with Celiac disease? That's the only reason to go gluten-free.

    Fat isn't bad per say, so watch your calorie intake and check your macros to make sure you're not going overboard with carbs and you'll be fine.

    Personally, I just don't have bread... I went gluten free before all the craze, when the only products I could find tasted like cardboard so I quickly got used to not eating the manufactured gluten free products and just make my own everything. I buy it from time to time as a treat but it's just not part of my everyday diet. Makes it easier.

    Not necessarily... certain autoimmune diseases CAN respond positively to eliminating gluten and/or wheat and/or other grains from the diet.

    OP, what is your question. You did not post a coherent question.

    Fashion is a pretty lame reason to stop eating gluten. Your doctor told you that??? Fire your doctor. If you don't have celiac disease, eat gluten.

    There are other reasons. I am allergic to gluten wheat barley and oat. Allergy is so severe that the smallest cross contamination of my food will cause me yo go into anaphylaxis. I however, do not have celiacs.

    No she's saying she isn't going GF because of fashion. She's doing it because her doctor advised she needs to go GF.

    It won't let me edit my post on mobile but I wanted to say this. If you insist of remaining gluten free and need some gluten free meal ideas, inbox me and I share recipes and sites that have recipes with you.

    GF certified oats are a good gluten free choice. Cream of rice cereal too, if you're after something hot. If you want a portable or cold breakfast try overnight oats in a jar, or use GF oats to make oatmeal breakfast cookies (recipes abound online). I found a great pumpkin pie overnight oats recipe that is gluten free (*so long as you confirm that your oats are GF)

    After experimenting for a while I found I actually function better on a relatively lower carb breakfast, focusing more on protein/fat. Keeps me full and satisfied longer. So now I prefer cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, or eggs and meat over carby breakfast foods most of the time anyway.

    There are many other reasons to go "gluten free" unrelated to celiac, but this does also include prevention of Celiac disease in people with HLA genetic predisposition who haven't yet been diagnosed with Celiac.

    Relevant HLA-DQ and transglutaminase positivity (serologic features of celiac disease) in the general population is close to 2%. That's 1 in 50!!!! As far as disease predisposition goes, that's not small.

    Adult celiac disease also has a long subclinical time period before diagnosis, often a decade, so many don't realize that they even have it.

    Celiac disease isn't just about the bowel either. Having celiac disease (whether you are aware that you have it or not) carries an 18% risk of lymphoma. That's astronomically high compared to baseline population risk for lymphoma.

    It is also not just about the gluten. Many other undesirable compounds are in wheat that may actually be worse than modern gluten (eg. amylopectin A, wheat germ agglutinin etc).

    It should also be noted that foods labelled "gluten-free" have even worse high glycemic junk than the foods they are designed to replace. One ingredient whole foods avoid this problem.

    Absolutely. They may also be prevented in the first place.

    Side note: if you like udi's they have these AMAZING chocolate chocolate chip muffins. Good for a treat when you need something sweet.

    It sounds like your doctor suggested gluten free due to a presenting health issue. This doesn't mean that someone going gluten free is an answer to losing weight - I guess it is good marketing to suggest this but not accurate. There are many packaged "gluten free" products that are high in calories so it would be easy to gain weight while switching to gluten free. You would still need to log your food and keep with in the appropriate calorie limit. It was your overall calorie intake that lead to weight gain not gluten specifically. If you are concerned about getting enough carbs for energy there are many non-gluten choices including berries, greek yogurt, vegetables, legumes, oats etc.

    Oh, thanks...I was confused because of the way she writes.
