In the movie "The Invisible" Nicolas cage is eating breakfast and his mom is reading the newspaper and looks down at his shirt and says "What is that, irony?"

Does anyone know why she says that? Why would it be irony?

I recently saw the movie and the breakfast he was served looked like it would have been gluten free. The T-shirt made a few appearances in the movie, and each time "gluten free" was visible.

Things that make you go Hmmmn?

In case you're interested you can look at the shirt here:

Apparently some movie buff actually owns the shirt used in the movie and lists it at this site as memorabilia.

thats a good question. i remember seeing the movie and thinking it was really cool they made him "gluten free". but i don't remember the mom saying anything about the shirt and irony... were they talking about something else at the time and she was just looking at him? because the breakfast was bacon and eggs right? so maybe his character is gluten free but they didn't really make that a big part or issue of the movie.

or, maybe he wasn't gluten free and they just made sure that he was wearing a shirt that would be recognizable for when the dog was sniffing it and searching for him?? because it did say gluten free people who knew what that meant would be "awesome! a shout out!" but people who didn't would pay more attention to it because they would want to know what it meant too...? i don't know! just throwing something out there. either way i think its pretty cool it was in the movie.

It was in the very beginning so they weren't talking about anything else.

I just want to know if it has a meaning at all.

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source. If it seems similar to your experience, you could raise this question with your Dr. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/morgellons-disease

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
