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:

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
