Giving Lip-Service To Eating Gluten Free Makes Me Sad

I cannot relate to this yet, as I never had this type of encounter, yet I cannot see anyone willing to cheat and hurt themselves. I have read the complications from cheating (going on as if you dont have celiacs) and the complications alone scare me enough not to cheat!

Oh yeah I know what you mean about the glazed over look.. lol I've run across several people that are 'fake gluten free' Why would anyone do this if they didn't have to? That's all I wonder.

I've learned to make chocolate cupcakes and other goodies and I bring them to get togethers and no one knows the difference until I pick one up and take a bite and then I get the 'You can't have that...' I just laugh and say 'yes I can, I made them and they're gluten free' Surprised looks from all because they couldn't tell the difference.. heehee

Two can play at this game!!! LOL LOL LOL

Well done, I love your attitude! I've brought gluten free brownies made from a Trader Joe's mix, to parties, and they disappear faster than the wheat based brownies. Yes, gluten free can taste great! :lol:

      Totally agree, that is an excellent point. I tend to mention these vitamins and also ferritin, because in England (not sure about the rest of the UK) these are the tests generally offered routinely through our public health system. It is unusual to be offered much more than that. I was low normal/deficient in all three, and found that when I supplemented...

      Bold Taste, No Alcohol & Crafted to Remove Gluten: Daura Non-Alc Beer Takes Alcohol-Free Beer to the Next Level

      I'm being SERIOUS here! Absolutely none of the styles of beer I use to drink are ever represented in the gluten-free market.

      Hmm, I think you mean the Gluten Intolerance Group®? Their website is not gig.net. Maybe it was at one point? I am new to all of this, but did find their website here: https://gluten.org/ Kind Regards, Known1

I was low normal/deficient in all three, and found that when I supplemented them all I felt better.  That said, my private nutritionist put me onto a very expensive broad spectrum supplement pill which no doubt went some way to address other deficiencies, and I took it into my own hands to take a supplement which contained all the B vitamins., too.  Interestingly, when I checked the supplements with my own GP a little while later she was very worried about the large doses of one particular vitamin that the broad spectrum supplement contained, so I came off the lot - although my gastroenterologist still has me take vitamin D.

      Did they ever tell you specifically which vitamins would interfere with which tests? Fermented pickles source of thiamine  and other B-vitamins, The fermentation process with lactic acid bacteria increases the nutrient value.   Colonies of beneficial bacteria can help crowd out the the bad SIBO. Have you had the rash biopsied for Dermatitus Herpetiformus?  Atopic Dermatitis and dermatitis herpetiformis share symtoms and atopic dermatitis patients have higher risk of dermatitis herpetiformis.  dermatitis herpetiformis is a symptom of Celiac diagnosis. When I had the carotid artery stent, the hospital put down "wheat allergy" for the food service.  I guess allergy puts the fear of god in them more than the misunderstood Celiac Disease.  Whatever keeps me alive in this world.

      @Scott Adams, You're right about corn and wheat not sharing similarities in the 33-mer peptide segment of gluten.  Corn has a completely different peptide that causes an autoimmune reaction because it attaches to HLA-DQ8.  Casein in dairy shares with wheat similarities in the33-mer peptide chain. Sorry about the oversimplification.  Maize Prolamins Could Induce a Gluten-Like Cellular Immune Response in Some Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3820067/
