From article:

And there are broader concerns. Some dietitians worry about the long-term effects of a strict gluten-free diet on those who don't need to be on it, because in avoiding foods with gluten, people may give themselves nutritional deficiencies. Those who elect to go on the diet need to watch that they get adequate amounts of B vitamins, particularly folic acid, Badaracco says.

Interesting comments. I expect my diet overall has better nutrition that most of people. I know what is in everything I eat, I am not eating meals is fast food restuarants, and I eat a lot less processed foods.

So I take a look at

"Suzy Badaracco".... who was quoted last in that article...

I am a trends forecaster for the food industry tracking all food, flavor, health, consumer, research, technology and government trends. What I find interesting is that Americans tend to act individually and are a "me" culture yet they fall into pack mentality when it comes to eating and food. In Japan it is the reverse. They act more as a collective yet are not influenced by those around them when it comes to recognizing satiety signals. In other words, when Japanese are full, they stop eating regardless of whether others at the dinner table are continuing to eat. I think a big part of the obesity issue is not portion sizes but the inability to recognize or accept satiety signals. Suzy Badaracco Culinary Tides www.culinarytides.com

Forecasting vs. Trends analysis

Forecasting focuses on the birth and death of trends, not the statistics generated once a trend hits an industry. The birth helps to tell how weak or strong an influence it may have on an industry while it

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....
