    You have actual doctors trolling your site? that's ironic on so many levels. You guys really seem to look over your shoulder alot.... then you tell people with "food addictions" to get help as if they are the crazy ones. Too funny.

    Anyways, as much fun as you guys are, I have to jet, so I grabbed a few abstracts from 2015 because you asked so nicely (aka, others who aren't jerks but who are reading may actually benefit). No time to delve into the full stash of articles, but here are some abstracts from 2015 for you which you will of course "debunk" because they don't tell you what you want to hear.

    How to get out of a discussion you are going to lose in 7 easy steps

    1. Downgrade others knowledge by comparing them to experts( even though they might themselves be or hey you can self learn)
    2. Tell them you gotta go.
    3. leave them with your "proof" that you are not sure will stand up to a debate but it's all you could find.
    4. Tell them they won't believe you anyway because they don't want to, not because of lack of facts.
    5. Leave before having to get into possible grown up debate
    6. Make sure you hang in background to read others replies (don't let them know)
    7. (optional) come back later after all has died down to try and get the last post.

    This is awesome :)

    You win a prize... I think a Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

    My sister is Celiac, and she loves that fad because now she has so many more food options and people are more aware of it.

    As opposed to when she was diagnosed in 2000 is was like blank stares from everyone

    Yeah, but the flip side is that there are so many "certified by dr. of Woo Broscience" folks who are "sensitive," that people don't take you as seriously when you have a REAL MEDICAL CONDITION. (I have a friend who found out that her kids were celiac when the youngest landed in the ICU at 18 months of age...and another who is wheat allergic and went into anaphylaxis when someone cut her veggies on a cutting board that had been only brushed off after cutting a loaf of bread...they both have fallen ill because people now suspect that "no wheat" doesn't mean a real medical condition beyond Special Snowflake Syndrome.)

    There was a case of someone selling baked goods at a farmers market which were just regular old gluten-filled baked goods, but they labeled them as being gluten-free. They totally banked on the Special Snowflake Syndrome.

    There are also restaurants which aren't as careful with gluten as they might seem to be.

    If you have celiac disease you need to check with the celiac association to see if a restaurant has been cleared by them before eating there. A lot of places just pay lip service to the concept.

    It's become a bit of a minefield.

    Most places ask if it's an allergy or a preference here.

    And she knows going in that cross contamination is 125% possible.

    More pros than cons for her :)

    The gluten cartoon was good, but this is better.

    I didn't read all the comments, but I liked the cartoon. I have a sensitivity to wheat and rye. It's pretty minor. I didn't even know until I had allergy testing for some upper respiratory issues I was having. I still eat both, just get a little bloated. I love gluten! lol
