    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!

      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.

          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.
