I enjoy Ryan's humor too, but this comment section is making me return to my research on how to slap an idiot through the Internet. If I can figure it out, I'm gonna make a fortune off people who think that celiac is the only dietary risk that exists.

A friend of mine told me all about just how better she felt after cutting gluten completely out of her diet.

I was shocked and asked her when she was diagnosed with celiac.

She asked what is celiac?

Oh for fucks sake. Up till that moment I thought she actually had two brain cells to rub together.

The problem with all these idiots, while they have caused more gluten free options to market, the costs have skyrocketed for people that actually require a gluten free diet.

Wheat has a lot of fructans, which ferment weird in lots of people's digestive systems. I suspect a lot of people with a 'gluten' sensitivity actually have FODMAPs sensitivity, but either way if not eating wheat makes them feel better then great, they know their bodies better than I do. (I have to avoid a bunch of foods for these reasons, but fortunately wheat doesn't seem to bother me. Beans, oats, grapes, and artificial sweeteners all give me horrible diarrhea and/or constipation though, even in small amounts.)

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

Yeah cause celiac is the ONLY medical reason to cut gluten out of your diet, just like wheelchairs are the only medical reason to park in handicapped spaces! /S

You can have a thing without knowing what the thing is. Otherwise, by your logic… avoiding learning the definition of cancer would make one immune to cancer.

Your friend clearly had an issue with gluten. Good for her for taking care of it.

I read somewhere a while back that you can have health benefits from cutting anything out of your diet, even if you don't have any negative reactions to what you cut out.

Gluten intolerance is still a possibility, but not the only possibility.

[–] Kingofthezyx@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

Likely because it just forces you to pay attention to what you are consuming. One of the most important parts of eating healthily is just paying attention to what you're eating.

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

This is definitely a possibility, but I feel for OP because it definitely seems like "MSG sensitivity" 2.0, ya know?

People don’t need a diagnosis to know what foods impact them. A lot of the time doctors will recommend elimination diets to find out what foods to avoid. There’s no need to say it’s celiac if you know gluten containing foods make you feel worse.

For me it’s at least a wheat allergy, so I benefit from gluten free foods. I could get tested for celiac, but most tests require consuming gluten for a while in advance of testing. I’m not going to bother, since I know it’ll make me sick.

I actually appreciate the trend of people going gluten free, because even though prices have gone up, companies are taking more effort to make gluten free alternatives. The early gluten free alternatives were fairly nasty and now some options are close to the real thing.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 12 points 8 months ago

There's a big difference between being intolerant and allergic (what celiac's is) though.
I'm not celiac but I'm gluten intolerant because of my IBS. I can eat it but past a certain threshold it will just wreck my shit (literally). The main difference is that I won't die/get cancer because of it.
Also one of the upsides of everyone and their mom being sensitive to gluten is that it raises awareness and makes more gluten-free things available.

The joke's funny... albeit a bit boomery

One wheat world turn my turds light tan for a month. I'm talking suede wishes it was this tan. Nevermind the fucked up stuff that happens to the rest of my body.

You think that makes me weak? I eat chipotle every day. Sometimes twice a day. They started giving me the cop discount I'm there so much.

Let's see how long you would last eating burrito bowls like they're going out of style. What am I saying? Don't come at me with a bagel if you can't fuck with chipotle hot salsa.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 11 points 8 months ago

Weird flex; but…. Alright.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I need a sanity check and you would know, did they change the hot salsa in the past couple years? I swear it changed in the past few years around the time they had the garlic guajillo beef.

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Maybe, it's kind of citrusy nowadays. I remember it being more smokey.

All Chipotle Are Bastards

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Trying mixing hot with medium - assuming you check it out and it works okay for you - bc the former is hot while the latter is tasty due to the oregano. Delish!

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh, hot and verde all day long

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Where do you get the verde - you add it yourself?

I mostly get stuff to go so I just take what they have behind the counter.

I think it's called "distraction" - typing while talking on phone with someone else :-P.
