Is anybody else finding this sudden hypchondria and mass hysteria over gluten terribly tiresome? Or like all food fads, like bran, should I just sit tight for another couple years for it to pass and things go back to relative normal?

Here's how you know if you really have Celiac disease. If you eat a little bit of food that contains gluten, you curl up in a ball and want to die as your small intestine slowly necrotises itself. And you eventually find yourself in the ER with a surgeon removing a meter or two of your bowel.

Does gluten make you sleepy? Not celiac Adhd symptoms? Not celiac bloated? Not celiac

stuffy nose? Menstral cramps? Muscle weakness? Headaches? Blurry Vision? Arthritis like symptoms? Not celiac.

Really, unless you feel like you just got shot with a gun, it's not Celiac. I'm not saying laying off of gluten may or may not help you with those things, but it's not celiac.

Please stop insulting people who actually suffer from celiac by claiming your bloated loose stools are a sign that you too have joined the swelling ranks of one of the rarest genetic diseases in the world.
