Wheat belly

you can read anything you want. but i think i am pretty sure when i see diarrhea.

One day I put my left shoe on before my right, and I got into a fender bender. I learned my lesson, I always put my right shoe on first now.

i'm shocked you were able to get on both shoes.

after literally years of her losing weight and not fitting-in with the pediatrician's recommendations for growth, we had to try something. after eliminating almost everything, we came to our conclusion. i'm not sure why that is difficult for people to understand, or why anyone would care if me or my child ever ate gluten again?

I knew the anti-grain hype had gone overboard when I saw "gluten free" deodorant tampons at the grocery store.

Wait, what? LOL. Well I guess technically gluten could be absorbed through the.....OK never mind, I'm out.

LOL like wheat?
I guess I'm not understanding the question. If my GI issues, which I've suffered from for a long time, have been solved by avoiding gluten, why would I over-complicate it? What's that saying....if you hear hoofbeats, it's more likely a horse than a zebra? I guess if I missed gluten-containing items, I might search out another possibility.

"Over-complicating" it could allow you to eat more foods without getting sick. Assuming you are allergic to something else rather than gluten, you could go back to eating breads and such if you wanted while avoiding your actual allergy.

As a simplistic example, say I'm allergic to cheese. Whenever I eat sandwiches with cheese, I get sick... but then I incorrectly blame gluten for my allergy. I stop eating sandwiches (and the accompanying cheese) I feel better and confirm my false assumption of a gluten allergy.

the general public has gone overboard, i will admit, but for those who suffer from celiac, those products are very helpful and easier to find now.

The product I was referring to doesn't exist dear. It was just a joke.

This is a terrible, terrible example. People don't give up eating one type of food when they have allergies, i.e. sandwiches. Gluten is in a LOT of stuff, and it's usually the only common ingredient. Unless someone is allergic/intolerant to lots of things, it's likely gluten is the culprit.

Also, there's gluten free alternatives, so if people previously ate cheese sandwiches, they could still do so with gf bread, thus confirming they are not intolerant to cheese.

Also, also: I'm speaking from experience of having a lot of allergies (but not gluten, strangely). Allergies are hellish and miserable. I can't eat nuts or apples. Hell, I can't even eat fruit salad and pick the apple out because the other food is contaminated. But hey, if I don't want my body to violently and painfully reject my breakfast, I'll give the fruit salad a miss.

Yeah, I'm not really getting his stance on this. He must be an engineer, because they like to take something simple and complicate the crap out of it. I know because I'm married to one :laugh:

Me too! Well, a software engineer, kinda the same thing right? He's also gluten and dairy intolerant. We're a nightmare to have over for dinner.
