I refuse to make fun of dietary restrictions after spending five years as a waiter rolling my eyes at gluten free people and then developing a gluten intolerance.
The universe is a tricky bitch. It gave me a literal pain in the ass.
You can be annoyed by gluten bad gluten free while recognizing the real pain of celiacs.
Just because it isn't a visible disease does not mean everyone is in the right.
I dislike the disregard for vegans in the post, still.
I once had a buddy with Celiac's, it was interesting trying to find a restaurant that worked for us both. The tide of hipsters wanting everything gluten free was a godsend!
FYI it's just Celiac disease, or they are a celiac, no 's
FYI you should use punctuation, such as a period, at the end of a sentence to let your readers know the thought is complete.
Nah I guarantee NOBODY is going through the gluten free diet unless they really believe there might be a chance they're allergic. And you have to go gluten free for a bit to see if you are.
No you don't, not for celiac. It's symptoms are debilitating.
I know a case like that. He was unfortunate enough to have doctors that were unable to diagnose him properly. When he started the diet in his thirties and his absolutely debilitating health condition got a lot better in so many ways, it was such a relief!
But also, there are people who are not celiacs but do have an intolerance, and the diet is worth trying if someone thinks it may be their case.
Yeah, but that's not the gluten allergy.
The guy I was talking about in the first paragraph was a celiac.
I was talking about the second.
That was meant as another example of people for whom trying the diet can be relevant.
It's possible to be delibitated and not know why. Until you stop eating gluten and get better. You should watch House MD, House is always using the treatment as the test. He tries something and sees if the patient gets better. Many of those patients are dying and he still doesn't know what they have until he tries a treatment.
House is in no way a realistic medical show
I remember a medical friend rolling his eyes at the show when it was airing, because usually he could guess what the end diagnosis could be from the symptoms. House was just really good at making the drama about the doctor interject and extend the eyeball time into the hour long episode
Are you saying doctors don't give patients treatments for unknown diseases to see if they'll work?
It's obvious you've never had to go through this because generally no, that does not happen often.
Well My doctors say "take this and we'll see if it works" all the time.
That's for known diseases. We were talking about unknown. And House is not realistic at all.
Not the way House does!
^ This.
We should have more sympathy for people who have to grapple with this shitty, under-researched allergy.
I just don't get why people think they're allowed to be mad at someone for what they order. They would choose the yummy gluten snacks if they weren't struggling to eat something good for them.
No you don't. They can do a blood test for it now.
Blood test has poor reliability, and you have to eat gluten to get it which makes many people too sick to even get tested
The gold standard is a biopsy of the duodenum but again you need to be eating like 20g of gluten a day for a few weeks and many people get too sick after even a few milligrams
Neither diagnoses NCGS, non Celiac gluten sensitivity. The only test is to stop eating gluten.
Eh, you haven’t worked in food service.
What always sent me was the people who ordered gravy after telling me they were gluten sensitive..
