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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
