Yeah I do. I was going to comment how bad I feel for you guys who really have celiacs or gluten intolerance. You are missing out on so much and have to go through so much just to eat normal food.
Well does anyone here actually HAVE Celiac, or just 'know someone who does'?
I fucking love bread and wheat and beer and shit. Gluten is my friend. I just dont' get to have it all that often because I fix meals for my whole family.

It doesn't really matter if you double the sample size (it seems most are significant others), it's still way higher than the 1% rate reported for Americans.
I'm not personally gluten intolerant, but wheat screws up my lower GI something fierce. Eating GF is the easiest way to avoid wheat.

Yeah, there's Celiac and then there's "I get gassy when I eat a whole pizza and beer." You probably have a low FODMAP absorption rate, and eating gluten free will help that, but it's got nothing to do with gluten. Lots of them in wheat products.

I thought Joey does actually have Celiac. I could be wrong though.

I wouldn't say "prevalence". Problem is during the 1990s, Celiac disease was fairly unknown and then in early 2000s got hit as the largest undiagnosed/misdiagnosed disease. My sister always thought she "ate too fast" and had stomache aches after almost every meal. She went through a lot of testing and it wasn't until the 2nd endoscopy they disovered her villi in her intestines had shriveled up and were absorbing nutrients poorly.
I had to live somewhat Gluten Free my teenage years since my sister was diagnosed then. The kitchen requires it to be sanitized as any "contamination" through cooking surfaces would hurt my sister. I said "somewhat" because my mom stocked some regular snacks in my room and when I ate out I could order what I wanted. It was tough then since even at Whole Foods there was only a small section Gluten Free. At first my sister hated the "fad to eat gluten free" since most restaurants didnt take it seriously enough. She then came to love it because you can get a lot of good food nowadays because of it. I remember how much of a pain it was in high school for my mom, and I was a teenager that DIDNT pay attention to what I ate, so I cant imagine how bad it was.
Edit: If I remember right they diagnosed it for years as acid reflux.
Just wanted to add, if you do feel better not eating Gluten, you might want to get tested. It can be "age onset". Since you have been eating gluten your entire life, you may not know how bad you are feeling as our bodies cope.
My sister whad from stomache aches because her body was coping. Now her body goes "in shock" in response to gluten since she lives gluten free. It can send her straight to the hospital. Think of it like "alcohol tolerance", the more you do it, the more you can cope; but doesnt mean you are feeling 100%.

I haven't officially been diagnosed, because unless they've changed it recently you need to be eating gluten in order to be tested for it.
I sort of just woke up one day, tired of always feeling like shit, and decided to try it to see if I felt better, because my Mom is a diagnosed Celiac and they say it's hereditary. Sure enough I started improving after a few weeks, gained back weight i had lost, and had far fewer digestive issues, etc.

Yeah my Mom wasn't diagnosed until she was in her late-30s, she didn't start experiencing symptoms until her early-30s. They told her for years that she had thyroid issues until she finally found a doctor that thought to test her for Celiacs.

With a 1% rate of incidence, there would need to be 300 active users and their SO's for there not to be an overrepresentation. I don't have a way to check the stats, but I'd estimate there were less than 50 posters in the last few months.
You know what really grinds my gears?! - Sully - 01-03-2018
My fiance doesn't absorb her synthetic thyroid medicine while eating gluten and her lactaid pills didn't work 100% of the time before she cut out gluten. Her doctor recommended cutting out gluten after trying massive doses of the thyroid hormone with no success and it worked. I'm not sure what that means but either way, she doesn't eat gluten now. But I hope she never gets that shock thing because I don't do that much to prevent cross contamination. Like I try but I'm not going to keep and eat my bread in a nother room. I will try to use another knife and cutting board and stuff like that. Or prepare her stuff first.
One thing that is funny, we both kind of got really bad acid reflux around the time we started dating. Me a little before but now we both have it. And we've both had endoscopy and no answers. She takes nexium like it's candy. 2 in the morning 2 at night plus tums and stuff if she wants to have a drink. I was one day until I finally was able to ween myself off it and now do one zantac and a dose of tums before bed . Idk if any of that could be gluten related but you think hers would get better after cutting it out. I also used to get bad stomach aches as a teen but they seem to have gone away for the most part so I don't think they were gluten related.
Jon, I'm accepting handouts from people who have too much money so you know, just PayPal me or whatever works for you.

You know what I'm going to suggest right?
I'm your boy to help you pick one out!
RE: You know what really grinds my gears?! - JPolen01 - 01-04-2018
I don't game, not into the home automation stuff, don't need any tools for my non-existent projects. Been looking at some mutual funds today and will probably dump some money into a few different ones.
For now I think I will put some into my new car fund and blow the rest on cocaine. Thanks for the idea Justin!
RE: You know what really grinds my gears?! - JustinG - 01-04-2018
You need hobbies

If I had a garage I would definitely be toying with something automotive related. Living in a townhouse with only parking spaces has really just killed any kind of want to have a project.
