I hate them. I have recently come across disrespectfull people though facebook and google :( I just read on facebook how some chef cooked Gluten Free on a BBC tv program in the uk and said he is Celiac but every 3 months he has a 2 week break where he eats as much GLUTEN as possible it's messed up . Why do people do stupid things like this ? The public must think it's not a serious disease hearing things like this.

This isn't just disrespectful, it's total ignorance.. :blink:

OMG!!This guy is killing himself. And his understanding of gluten intolerance is all WRONG!

What doctor told him he could do that?

Another chef with no clue. He needs to get some education before he makes himself really sick.

Wow, did anyone read about the chef who deliberately glutens people requesting gluten free meals because it's "all in their heads"??? Craziness... And the message going out to the general public is that Celiac disease is nothing serious. So very very sad. As it was, I was afraid to eat in restaurants. Now, I'm terrified :(

No, hon....let me clarify what I was laughing at....Karen's comment about HIM cracked me up ...that if he offs himself by foolishly eating gluten, so be it....survival of the fittest.... :lol: :lol:

As for him.... I was stunned by his ignorance of what being a celiac means. I wonder if anyone in the UK--like a doctor maybe?--has seen this clip and told him that he is grossly misinformed.

I think the "old school" thought was that you could "desensitize your system " by exposing yourself to wheat...but celiac disease is not an "allergy". I know that some people on here have said that they were DXed as children, but their parents were told to give them wheat again so they could get used it--which of course set them up for a lifetime of ill health and other autoimmune diseases. That's just criminal :o

This is a common misconception and I get a tad defensive whenever someone says "Oh you just have a wheat allergy" .

I try to explain, but I can see by the second sentence into my explanation that their eyes are glazing over with the "I don't really care, but I am feigning interest" Look....

:lol::angry::blink:

PS Nice chinny hat!! :lol:

I tell them it destroys my intestines. That sounds scary to most people.

I'm taking up a collection to buy that poor abused creature a proper hat. Maybe a nice straw sunbonnet.

I guess from now on, I'll cut to the chase and say that too....I have said to people, no, it's not an ACHOO allergy, it's like slow poison to my gut... And they say....oh :blink: ...and that's the end of the conversation and their interest...

as for the hat...yeah, she really does need something a bit more jaunty :lol: :lol: :lol:

I wouldn't brag that about deliberately glutening customers. He could be sued! Did anyone hear about the man that was sentenced to jail time for selling baked goods that were gluten free at a fair (that was not gluten free) I think it was North Carolina? I saw something on my news tonight about this court case. The word might get around that people will be held responsible criminally for on purpose glutening others.

But I thought it was funny too.. :lol: :lol: you guys crack me up.. I'm such a nerd!!

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.

      Thank you so much for your informative reply. My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash. I had a histamine response to wheat and milk by scratch test by an allergist. I'm not always symptomatic but the older I get the worse it gets. I've found through trial and error that I can react to all grains. Buckwheat and corn included. I tolerate some rice but I wouldn't want to eat it every day. Potato is pretty good for me but I can't eat it every day either. I compromise with squash. I tolerate it well. The Best I feel is while fasting. When I'm in pain and discomfort it's easy to fast even long term, it helps. The problem I'm having is I'm great with my diet for 3-6 months then I start to cheat again. When I don't get immediate symptoms I get this foolish false security. I react then go back to my diet. Rinse and repeat. I suppose discipline is my real issue. I'm very tired of perusing a diagnosis. The constant gaslighting and dismissal is exhausting. Thanks for your suggestion of the autoimmune protocol. I will give it a try. Perhaps the guidelines will help me to navigate better.   Thanks again.

      This isn't the first potential celiac disease treatment in the pipeline that failed. There have been others...
