Seems crazy to me to go on a gluten free diet on purpose!

I really despise the idea of being considered "trendy" for any reason, and I care much less for the idea of a disease being "trendy". Puke.

I don't consider living a gluten-free lifestyle an "indulgence". I consider it the biggest inconvenience I've encountered so far. Trendy? Get real.

maybe it's just semantics, but I don't think they meant trendy as in hip, I think they are just noticing buying trends... "as people become more aware of gluten intolerance" hopefully it's not a temporary trend and it's a permanent trend toward better foods that just happen to be gluten-free.

I like how they put "gluten free" in quotes, like "big bad gluten" <_<

Yeah, I agree, and it makes me worry. I don't want to be the next "Atkins" or "Dr Phil Diet" out there....before you know it people wil be asking at the resturaunt "oh! Your doing the celiac disease too" :angry:<_<:lol:

See? There's tons of fringe benefits to going gluten free! You're now part of the "IN" crowd!!! :D

Hugs.

To be honest, I am glad this is on the list!! Yes, it is a lifestyle for us not by choice, but if you think about it, the more people are demanding gluten free, the more options we have!! I am all for better tasting foods at various places!! I was glutened this weekend for the first time in a long time. I was at a hotel and ate an egg & cheese omlete. I was sick for hours and at my son's soccer tournament. It wasn't fun!! I would love it if more people requested it. Then I wouldn't look like a 3 headed monster when I asked for gluten free!!

Sorry if I ramble! I slept for 13 hours last night and am still foggy today. It has been so long since I have been glutened!! UGH!!

Having the gluten-free diet being trendy is like having a peanut allergy diet being trendy. It makes no sense!

I'm afraid that if it becomes the next fad diet, restaurants and brands will become less careful about cc and whatnot. Most people aren't going to get sick from ingesting gluten. It'll be a lot harder to be taken seriously.

Not to mention that the gluten-free replacement crap ISN'T HEALTHY! It's fattening as all get out and has a higher glycemic index to boot! :rolleyes:

Funny story though: My boss was at lunch with a friend and the friend told him about the gluten-free bakehouse stuff at whole paycheck and how she ate gluten-free stuff to be "healthy". He bought me some of the bakehouse cookies and I asked why his friend ate them on purpose. When he said it was to be healthy, I laughed and told him about how full of bad crap gluten-free stuff was and he turned ashen white eating the cookie. He's on Weight Watchers...I'm sure one gluten-free cookie is about 3 days worth of points :P

I guess my concern is like Chelsea's. That this will not be taken seriously. I am thinking of now saying that I have Celiac Disease and that one crumb will make me very sick. I certainly don't want a server to think that I am just following a fad diet for the fun of it. Then he might not be careful, like taking a bun off of my plate (in the kitchen).

I was never part of the in crowd and now I am. We are so posh. I can't imagine why anyone would intentionally want to be like us but now they have made us all the rage. Nothing worse than being the flavor of the month but who knows, maybe in some perverse way this new "trend" will help us food wise.

I think what Chelse says is what was at the root of my discomfort with this. That it will diminish the whole gluten-free subject - in the marketplace, the restaurant, etc. That would indeed be a setback for a problem just beginning to get recognized. Claire

Yes, Yes, Line up girls, There's plenty of me to go around, and all my kisses are gluten-free, and certified as such by the FDA and the State of Georgia.

I am hoping this will help spread the word about gluten. I'd never heard of it before last year. Even my family can not keep it straight. My sister keeps reading me articles she finds about celiac in an effort to be helpful, but she still can't remember what it is. THe more times someone sees info about gluten, the better chance it will have of sticking.

And hopefully, we can reap the benefits by getting more food choices at a cheaper price.

I don't mind being trendy. Whatever it takes to educate people, I'll support. Of course, I will be expaining to people the difference between it being a medical necessity and a choice. Hopefully, they won't get that glazed over look on their faces anymore. : )

Even more so . . . .

Having been a "Geek-type" in high school, and adult in college, I have never been in the "in" crowd myself. Finding this a new and "terrifying" experience!!!! :lol::lol: I've never been the "trendsetter" -- Oh, the presssure . . . :P

My only hope is that after the "fad" part of it passes, the companies will continue to make gluten-free foods for those of us that have to remain on the diet for life.

I agree -- Trends come and go. Celiac is forever. Hopefully the companies don't forecast that this is going to end in, say 2 years, and plan likewise. As I said earlier, having this disease doesn't make me trendy. It makes having to have gluten-free foods my lifestyle forever.

This can very well be a double-edged sword for us. In one way it could get more gluten-free food into restaurants and stores for us but will it be made totally that way or will they take it as a fad? Which means they will not care if there is a little gluten added into it from a machine or whatever, because they think this is a fad. Yes, this could diminish the importance of our food and other products if they think it is just a fad. They have to realize that this is more than a fad for some, this is their lives.

It can be a possibility that it could threaten the purity of gluten free foods by companies thinking they could be slack since it is "just a fad". On the other hand, if it increases good gluten free foods, then maybe two years down the road when the diagnoses starting pouring in, the increase in choice of foods will be here to stay.

I agree that they included it because more people are becoming aware that they must eat gluten free, are buying gluten-free products and are requesting gluten-free selections in restaurants. Anytime we can get information out there, it is a good thing, so I don't think this is a negative thing. Meb MD is generally a good site. We need to look at the positive side of things when this comes up in the press and always try to be educating those that otherwise just don't have a clue about gluten issues. Barbara

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
