Not sure what to think about this article.

It's intersting how they say that only a small percentage of the population can't tolerate gluten. They obviously have no clue about how common the disease really is.

My friend just send me a different online article about dropping gluten and all grains from your diet. The article was interesting and was basically promoting the Paleolithic Diet. And then I read through the responses. Idiots. All I can say is I guess it's sort of like religion. You figure out your journey and your path to health,whether it be spiritual or bodily health, and then just don't feel to judged by people who are making different choices. I have to say that it is annoying when you've spent a decade feeling like all your symptoms were "all in your head" and then that's what the naysayers keep saying it's all in our heads. All I know is I control what I put in my body and I feel 20 years younger now.

I laughed at the ? Plus, banning gluten from your diet can be really hard ? . It can be hard but we Celiac's have to eliminate gluten to stop being ill.

I never understood why people think gluten free diet is a good diet to lose weight :S Ever since I have been on the gluten free diet I have gained weight not lost weight :D Lol

So true. For years my friends were so jealous that I could seemingly eat whatever I wanted and never gain any weight. Well...I guess now we know when you are not absorbing any nutrients, you probably will stay underweight, even into your 40's. And I agree with your first point too. My life is infinitely easier now that I am not struggling through every minute of every day. How hard is it to make a salad? My goodness.

This line from the article is pretty funny: "But she said it can be a challenge to eat nutritionally sound without gluten..." Um... I'd say not. I'd say it's very easy to "eat nutritionally sound." (assuming no other allergies) -- meat, beans, dairy, vegetables, fruit, rice, quinoa.... how hard is that? lol.. :lol:

No, in my opinion the challenging part of this disease is avoiding the hidden gluten, and changing our lifestyle to eliminate some of the old favorites -- that donut from Dunkin Donuts maybe, or the Dominoes pizza. But it's not "challenging" to eat a healthy diet.

The part of the article that got me was when they said it occurs naturally. I remember reading a couple years ago that wheat is now genetically engineered to contain 85% gluten, whereas it used to be 5% (when it was really naturally occurring). I should try to look that up again... feel free to correct me in the meantime. :P

And the part about it being challenging to eat nutritionally without gluten? Sheer ignorance. If they had said it would be challenging for the food industry to continue to rake in the money if people quit buying processed foods, then that I can get on board with. B)

Personally, I do believe gluten affects everyone. With that much gluten coating your villi, how can your body be expected to absorb any nutrients?

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      yes i understand that pectin is gluten free ty.  i want to know if any cigars are gluten free its a simple question
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
