Not too bad MSN! I lost a ton of weight eating gluten and have been putting it on since going gluten-free, so no it is NOT necessarily low carb. But whatever, if Gwyneth Paltrow means that gluten-free products get on the shelves and are cheaper because more people want them, who am I to burst their bubble? :)

It wasn't too bad because they quoted Dr Fasano, but then they had to ruin it with Professional Registered Dietician Speak. again.

What's really at work: Gluten-free dining can seriously limit the number of foods you can eat. With fewer choices, you're a lot less likely to overeat, says Shelley Case, R.D., author of Gluten-Free Diet: A Comprehensive Resource Guide and a medical advisory board member for the Celiac Disease Foundation.

Besides the hassle, you can end up with serious nutritional deficiencies. "Gluten-free doesn't necessarily equal healthy, especially when people yank vitamin-enriched and wholegrain foods from their diets and replace them with gluten free brownies," says (Shelly) Case. In fact, research suggests that those who forgo gluten may be more likely to miss out on important nutrients such as iron, B vitamins, and fiber.

Yes, that's us, just stuffing ourselves silly with gluten free rice flour and sugar brownies and skipping the 500 calorie white bleached flour bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. :angry::ph34r::blink:

Would somebody tell this woman that those of us who forgo their intestinal villi don't get any iron or B vitamins either, and that fiber is NOT a nutrient, technically ? :huh: And we're NOT all malnourished ?!

I'm beginning to develop quite "a thing" about Ms. Case :angry:

I guess I must have overlooked her statement because I was thinking of it in terms of addressing people who are going gluten free for the sake of weight loss or just being healthier, when they really don't need to.

But, you make a good point.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
