Why do people chose to eat gluten free?

I was newly diagnosed with Cealic Disease, so thats why I need to consume gluten unhindered now. Be that as it may I have known about a couple folks barring gluten from thier eating methodology by decision and I don't grasp why you might need to depending on if you had the decision to. Just inquisitive.

eating gluten free benefits

I'm confused, if you need to consume it unhindered, doesn't that mean you can have as much as you want?

Just because you havent been diagnised with a gluten allergy does it not mean that you are forced to eat it... SOme folks arent allergic to milk but decide to stay away from it
Perhaps they notice a difference in their digestive system when they leave gluten out...
maybe they have moral objections to gluten
maybe they just want to try something new....

having Celiac doesnt mean you have the right to be long-suffering alone....

Supposedly gluten can cause side effects even in healthy people, or so they believe. My friend was told to try paleo by her chiropractor (i know right!) and she believes it has solved all of her ills. Of course it could just be that the gluten products and other non-paleo things were just highly processed and that was the root of it.

There are many reasons, i find it makes me feel bloated. I also find that it affects my skin, I suffer from Psoriasis.

I have IBS and get an upset stomach most of the time. so once I began gluten free I had less upset stomach days. my stomach is very sensitive.

I think the point of the post is its extremely hard to change eating habits. When I was younger I had a month gluten free due to suspicion of coeliac disease and it was difficult having to check what contained it, what didn't and then there's the price hike some supermarkets think they can apply to specialised food!

I have celiac disease. But I actually like eating gluten free.

Some people may not be allergic to gluten but they can be intolerant to it, just as many people can be intolerant to dairy or eggs.

If they don't medically need to (as diagnosed by a medical doctor, not as self-diagnosed or diagnosed by some new age practitioner), it's because they're following a trend and/or it's a good cover for an eating disorder and/or it's a superstition that developed because people do tend to lose weight when they cut out entire food groups.

I only care when they self-righteously insist that their thing is the One True Way and/or when they attempt to back it up with pseudoscience, which they often do. If someone says, "This is what works for me," and leaves it at that, then I have no problem.

I choose to eat GF since my wellness coach suggested that it might help with my asthma and it has. I can breathe so much better and I don't have to take the inhaler as often. Plus Rudi's GF bread is delicious!

Many people trying to lose weight come up with some sort of restrictive diet they like to follow - they say it makes them feel better, they're healthier and they swear by the diet. E.g. vegetarian, vegan, paleo, no-carbs, Atkins, no-gluten... I guess meat-avoidance can often have other reasoning behind it but it all achieves the same outcome - your overall pool of things you can eat decreases, so you eat less, and voila you get weight loss. For this reason the Atkins diet was very successful when it first got popular because there wasn't much you could eat, but these days there is so much Atkins-marketed food that people on an Atkins diet can easily stick to the diet while eating too many calories, and then they gain. In the early 2000s all you could eat was cheese and meat and it got old quickly, so it's no surprise that people lost so much weight on it.

My sister is Coeliac and finds it very frustrating that so many people choose to self-diagnose that the need a wheat-free diet, because in her case she can never ever eat gluten, whereas some people doing it for fun will still choose to eat gluten if they really want to. I have worked in a cafe where staff in the kitchen were *****ing about people going on gluten-free diets, and making jokes about sneaking flour into something just to trick them. If my sister ate that stuff she'd be violently ill, yet someone on a voluntary gluten-free diet would likely have no side effects. Gluten-free has become another fad and the problem with that is that people don't take an actual gluten allergy seriously, which can have disastrous consequences for those for whom it is a real problem.

That said, it is anyone's choice to go on a random diet but god help me I have known many many people through my work (nutritionist) who go on random restrictive diets only to find that it's boring and they eventually revert to a normal diet. It makes a mockery of real vegetarians when you know vegos who will still eat, same for vegans who will eat cheese, and gluten-free adopters who don't check labels and will still eat tasty foods with gluten in them when it takes their fancy.
