Any Reality Tv Fans Out There?

So I'm watching Survivor and they just opened up a box of food that had loaves of bread sitting on top of fruits and veggies. They cut the bread and had crumbs going everywhere. I started twitching just watching it. Some of the other foods they got in the box were cookies and flour. So I often wonder if anyone with celiac has ever gone on Survivor...It would be so hard to eat most of the reward food they give. I sometimes have nightmares about going on Survivor or the Amazing Race and having to eat something I can't eat.

Elizabeth hasselback was on Survivor. She said that her guts felt better than in years because of not eating and only eating small amounts of rice. After she came back, she realized she had Celiac because of that experience.

That's right! I knew that, but forgot about her. It seems like in the earlier seasons they didn't give as many food rewards as they do now. Eating just fish, rice and coconut would be like an elimination diet and getting a reward of pizza or a burger would be a gluten challenge.

I like to watch Biggest Looser... it's pretty much the only reality TV show I really watch (aside from Extreme Makeover, Home Edition), and I do wonder about how they would handle having a person with food allergies/ intolerances on that show... being gluten-free would certainly make it easy for me to abstian from most of their food challenges if i were on that show (they can choose to participate or not), like the cupcake challenge earlier this season (now, if I knew those cupcakes were gluten-free, it would possibly be a different story...lol...)

I bet they would have gluten free things to tempt the person that's gluten free. The vending machine could have snickers and fritos which are both mainstream items that don't have any gluten in them.

I used to watch Extreme Make-over, Home edition. I wish they would bring it back. At least on that show they send the family away so if a family member has celiac they wouldn't be breathing in the dry wall dust.
