They made it look like eating gluten free is a trend....it is the opposite we do it to stay healthy. Maybe I read it wrong or something. What does everyone else think?

Trend or not, WOO HOO to the 86% jump in new product releases!!! So long as the government is defining gluten free (which they're working on), a gluten free trend can only help is with product increases and awareness.

Never in my lifetime did I expect to see anything remotely like that. It's fantastic. When I was diagnosed it was considered extremely rare back in 1988.

This is exciting news, with hopes more will come.

I think this article needed to add a sentence such as, "The majority of people who eat gluten free do so because of a diagnosis of celiac; which is an intolerance to wheat, barley or rye; so for them this is not the next fad diet."

I agree it did make it sound like it was the newest fad which I don't think is the best thing, but like everyone has said.... whooo hoooo more products!

Celiac/DH and gluten intolerant are lifelong customers for these products. Keep these people healthy and since it's genetic, they will make more customers.

What food company wouldn't want to tap into that market?

THe media always jumps on a tunnel vision bandwagon. As do the manufacturers when they smell a way to make big profits. Plus, the media always lacks vital information, such as the WHY of the need to have gluten free foods!

This one, however, may actually help people in the long run because so many people remain undiagnosed.

I really couldn't give a rat's behind how the gluten-free diet gets more popular, just that IT DOES! The more popular, the more the demand, the more the variety and the lower the price! The added plus is that all those people who jump on the gluten-free fad diet, will end up feeling 10 times better, realize their gluten intolerance, and stay on the diet. It's a win-win situation, if you look at it in a positive light.....

:P

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
