>> I can’t imagine people saying they have Celiac disease and they really don’t; they just want to be cool claiming they have it. It’s a terrible disease to have.

Two comments; first please NOTE: I am NOT disputing that you really do HAVE celiac disease. And I agree it IS a terrible disease to have.

1) Your point that I quoted above is not exactly logical; the beauty of one *claiming* a trendy disease they only suspect they have — indeed, a feature of *all* hypochondria — is they DON’T actually “suffer” from it. They just imagine they do.

2) I know you to be a “prepper”. WTSHTF, picky eaters are going to be at a relative disadvantage to the rest of us. I suspect a descent from affluent self-centeredness into war or economic turmoil will winnow out the hypochondriacs from the true sufferers of food-related diseases in a BIG hurry. Just sayin’.

It's not that terrible once you get free of gluten and esp nowadays when there is so much stuff out there to eat.

It was pretty terrible initially when I had to get ferritin (iron) IV weekly twice for 6 week regimens.

Yes, you know I am a major prepper. I stored professionally packed without oxygen, cornmeal, to make tortillas and cornbread and Indian fry bread if the SHTF.

If TSHTF, my sister-in-law and husband would likely come to stay at my house. She would be the first person in the country to change her opinion about food. She won't eat ANYTHING that comes in a can, doesn't have one can of food in her house. If she wants to live, she will eat canned food at my house.
