Washington Post (blog)

The best way to put something in perspective might simply be to poke fun at it. An anonymous French blogger has decided to take on the gluten-free movement by stripping any and all traces of the protein, along with any foods that contain it, from famous ...

Yeah...No.  Not perfect.  Why the heck do they need to poke fun in the first place?  Yes some people are stupid about strictness and expect the world to cater to their whims, but why not make fun of egocentric narcissists? Those people are the problem, and not the gluten-free food.

 

I dunno.  Go make fun of how school lunches need to be peanut free instead.  If they still feel good about making fun of dietary restrictions, then maybe I am wrong.

 

To be honest, I make fun of the peanut restrictions of the school my boys attend once a week (we homeschool).  There are no peanuts allowed but the only person in our small school with an allergy is my son, and it is to tree nuts.... which are allowed.  :rolleyes: We have 6 kids who are celiacs or NCGS and nothing is said.  Oh, and then there was the child with the anaphalactic milk allergy, but no peanuts.... Ooh, I'm off topic. LOL

And WHY do we need the perfect way to MAKE FUN of gluten-free food?

... Just don't eat it if you don't like it (and you are not a celiac or have NCGS)!

Do you know 100% there isn't a peanut allergy at the school?  That information isn't suppose to be shared so there is the potential that there is one unless you know the medical history of every child there.  It may also be something the school wants as a way to entice parents to the school (there are those who do feel more comfortable with a ban).  I am not for bans but I also understand that contact ingestion is a danger, esp. to small children in lower grades.  They can die within minutes. So if you are comfortable making fun of that, by all means, any condition is fair game.

Yes I know, 100%, that there are no peanut allergies at this school unless the parents did not tell the school about it.  I volunteered to run the lunch room and the administration disclosed that there were no peanut allergies this year.  It's a board policy to have no peanuts, and may well be a way to entice parents to join.

 

It's more that I make fun of the board's policy than the life threatening disease.  I know allergies are not a laughing matter. We have epi-pens for my son's tree nut allergies, but tree nuts are allowed into the school... this is where I see irony.

Imagine the public outcry if this was an article making fun of a diabetic diet.

And there's LOTS of people who follow a low sugar diet who aren't diabetic....so maybe they're all following a fad diet?  :rolleyes:

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?
