Getting gluten out of my diet changed my life and got my autoimmune disease under control after 12 years of struggling with depression and fatigue symptoms.

I love that restaurants are starting to catch on and offer good gluten free alternatives.

I HATE that hollywood and TV seem to think it’s cool to paint gluten free people as the jerks and losers in their entertainment.

People who just “try” gluten free to see if they feel better or can lose a little weight are also damaging the restaurant experience, because they don’t worry about “a little” gluten or cross contamination. As a result, restaurants don’t always think they have to worry about cross contamination. Those of us that are gluten sensitive (tested and medically verified) and have health problems from it, even cross contamination takes me at least a week to feel good again.

Anyway, please don’t make fun of Gluten Free people. You don’t know the h*ll to food supply in this country causes us.

We don't make fun of gluten free people...but we found a gluten sensitive person sneak the stuff when she thought we couldn't see her. Nothing worse than a liar...

It's becoming a great "sympathy" lifestyle.

What words did I use to make you think I was making fun of gluten free people???? I am clueless.
I made the comment that Novak Djokovich discovered that HE was gluten intolerant, stopped eating gluten and STEPPED UP his tennis game so much that he is now and still the number one tennis player in the world.
How is THAT mocking gluten free people????
