Food and Drink Gluten free... - Page 6

One of the most annoying diet fads in history.

MTG#10 · 10-31-2014, 02:09 PM

I am on a strict gluten-only diet. I will not consume anything that does not contain gluten. My only source of water is that which I absorb into Wonder bread.

However, having to live gluten free because of celiac disease is an entirely different story.

Which is why I stated diet fad. Less that 1% of the population has true gluten sensitivity. Most of the people that swear gluten is a problem don't even know what gluten is or what gluten intolerance actually is.

From what i been told is Gluten makes it hard for the stomach to digest foods thats where the problem occur's.

could be wrong could be false. I seen reports and articles that say yes, there can be an issue and no there isnt any and only a certain few actually have it.

I have always had digestion issues since i was really young so this spans over 20 years. I have noticed that my digestion issues are better if i cut out gluten.

Some say its a fad, some say its not, this goes with both people and doctors. If it makes you feel better then **** it. do it.

Yep. If it's good to you it's good for you... (Coming from respect, "I seen" labels you in a certain way. Don't be mad at the truth...)

There have been some recent papers that call into question whether non-celiac gluten sensitivity exists. The papers say that people may be sensitive to the FODMAPs (poorly digested fiber-like carbs) in gluten grains and not the gluten itself. Since the only way to avoid it is to avoid those grains (barley, wheat, rye mainly), it still comes down to the same thing - a gluten free diet.

I've avoided gluten for years now, my doc says it helps minimize general inflammation which I've found to be true and a good thing at this stage. Avoiding wheat probably has a couple of other benefits too for some people.

I like to go to Whole Foods, bring organic eggs up to one of the associates and ask if they have eggs from caged chickens who were given hormones to strengthen them and increase their yield. When they say no, just hand the eggs to them and leave disgusted

You know who looks like she desperately needs more gluten? Katie Cassidy. And I believe I have just the right type of "gluten" to feed her.

Also, as a dude with a foot fetish, how am I NOT supposed to be in love with her?

Gluten is a real thing. But gluten sensitivity is extremely rare, and unless you have it, there is no reason to avoid it.

All you have done is reduced your calorie intake. Its not the gluten.

It's perfectly possible to eat a shitty gluten free diet. Ice cream, milkshakes, candy, french fries, potato chips, corn chips are all frequently gluten free naturally. Dairy and meat are naturally gluten free. Gluten free treats are expensive but are available everywhere. Very few people cut out gluten and don't replace the calories with something else.

Gluten free, low fat, low calorie, organic water must be ridiculously expensive.

Not as expensive as the vegan, gluten free, organic fat free water.

Going gluten-free has been the best health decision I've ever made, hands-down.

A DNA test showed that I had a genetic preponderance for Celiac Disease, so I thought I'd try giving the gluten-free diet a try. I went from having daily headaches, lack of energy, and basically feeling like crap on a daily basis, to feeling about 30 years younger. I still have a hard time believing that a dietary change could make such a difference, but I'm not complaining.

Silock · 11-01-2014, 10:17 AM

I feel shittier since eliminating gluten from my diet.

But then, my diet wasn't utter shit before I started.

I started feeling better almost immediately after I cut out gluten. I didn't expect the change to be as quick and dramatic as it was. I was hoping for some improvement, but I certainly didn't expect it to be life-changing.
