My doctors have suggested that I'd be wise to develop some kind of fear of food.

All I know is when I eat commercial break I itch like crazy and need to take a benedryl

I have no idea if it is gluten or the RoundUp they are spraying on wheat or what...

Pasta I get from Italy (no Roundup used) does not seem to affect me- but any bread with tomato sauce seems o be OK

I did not have these effects all my life until about 8 years ago

i.e. if your body does have an adverse reaction to gluten, don’t consume it. Otherwise, you SHOULD consume it.

I think what is happening is that a lot of precious snowflakes see all these scare articles on local news about how this or that “may” be bad for you, so they avoid it, and the next thing you know, they get sick.

People have to stop believing everything they see on tv and in facebook. EVERYTHING is poisonous to SOMEONE.

I don’t eat bread or most carbs on purpose but I wouldn’t say it’s because of Gluten intolerance. I just feel better and eat less in Ketosis.

90 lbs I lost, now at 48 I can beat my 6’5 19 year old in pickup hoops. I love bread though if I’m going to have a cheat day, you can be certain bread is involved.

‘The earth is replete with the fruit of your works, O Lord,
You bring forth bread from the earth and wine to cheer the heart.” Ps 103

I am a bread-maker by obsession, so I hold these words dear.

At some food stores now there's a whole gluten-free aisle. It is amusing to read the nutritional content label on some of this stuff. Basically a column of zeros. Sounds like organic, GMO-free, stone-ground cardboard.

Potter says as many as half a million Britons have coeliac disease but have not been diagnosed with it and are consuming gluten

Wouldn't they notice that they have awful gastric distress and diarrhea all the time?

I used to order extra gluten with a side of gluten. Read the book “Wheat Belly”. The wheat grown now is nothing like it was 100 years ago. If I go two weeks without any gluten I don’t feel any different, but then I eat some and I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut. Weird stuff. Weird and delicious stuff, that gluten.

Gluten is a major component of wheat. Remember when the nutritionists were promoting whole wheat? Remember when they said egg yolks were going to kill you and now say a good source of protein? Red meat, don't get me started.

Remember when heart disease was specifically caused by cholesterol, which is the mother hormone produced by your liver? Now it's about triglicerides. First it was about cholesterol plaque buildup in the arteries, and now it's about inflammation of the endothelium within the arteries and veins.

And then there's the Population Bomb that will kill millions through starvation. The diminishing Ozone Layer that would kill billions. The Alcar scare that bankrupted many fruit farmers. We had 9 planets until they decided Pluto was planatoid. Now they are claiming a "possible" huge 9th planet outside the Kuiper belt of asteroids.

The best was the 70's social scientists claiming no inherent differences between boys and girls. That idiocy has been gone for awhile, but just read they're back to it. You only need to be a parent to see the differences. I am.

I could go on and on how often our scientific community has been wrong. I predict Gluten will be proved later to be no threat to average consumer.

The best gluten free diets rely mostly on protein and vegetables, with limited gluten free carbohydrates and an avoidance of sugary drinks and processed foods. This kind of diet is rarely recommended though, even by doctors. Instead, patients are usually referred to popular books and to the gluten free grain products that they tend to promote. The point of this approach is that it is meant to ease the transition to a gluten free diet. Unfortunately, as the article indicates, this can lead to other health issues.

Kind of depends some on what kind of reaction they are talking about.

There’s not much specific there about those alleged reactions.

However, the guy also needs to rule out Mast Cell Activation Disorder (or disease or syndrome or whatever they are calling it these days.)

Just because it’s not celiac, doesn’t mean there’s not something going on.
