No shit!
Also, as a cook, it's a fucking pain in the ass. I have groups of young women come in and they all order gluten free. It's statistically impossible, unless they're a Celiac support group for them to all be gluten. They do things like order BARLEY SALAD and then try to send it back when their friend tells them it has gluten. Gluten free breads and shit taste like shit, the only reason people eat them, is because they are Celiac, and if they don't, it will be bad for their health. It's a rare disease, one of out a hundred people suffer from it, yet all of a sudden, everyone is eating Gluten Free. People like this should not be allowed to eat outside of their own home, and personally, I know it's sick and cruel, but I hope they end up like Dr. Atkins - dead from their own stupidity. It's natural selection. The earth weeds out really stupid hippie fuckers by giving them a fad diet which will kill them. Incidentally there are strong ties between the Pro-Anorexia movement and this diet. Many people use it as a cover up for their anorexia. GROSS. FUCK ALL YOU PEOPLE.
I hope someone on here leads a gluten free diet but isn't Celiac so I can spend hours berating them and letting them know what a fucking idiot they are.
I'm not celiac but I've suffered from chronic acid reflux for about 8 years and I went gluten free and my acid reflux reduced dramatically in a couple of days, plus I don't get a crazily bloated gut after meals or drinking beer. There is scientific research to back up gluten intolerance (for example:
http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1132649) but otherwise I agree that that most people are idiots who are just doing gluten free because they got bored of atkins or whatever.
Also since going gluten free pooing has been a lot less of a time consuming event, not from constipation, my poos are no longer slimey and don't take a half hour to wipe.
