[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m actually diagnosed celiac and I am deeply grateful for all the “fakers”.  Celiac is rare, and if it weren’t for all the “fakers” it wouldn’t be profitable for stores to carry gluten-free products, or for restaurants to offer gluten-free dishes. The past 15 years have been an amazing progression. When first diagnosed I had to buy many ingredients at expensive health food stores and I couldn’t eat out ever. Now I can go to most restaurants and find gluten-free stuff at most supermarkets. It’s wonderful, and I care 0% that it inconveniences you and makes you cranky. In fact, that’s kind of a bonus.

In short, suck it. [/quote]
We will all gladly "suck it" for you and for legitimate illness.[/quote]

But the point is that my legitimate illness is made much easier to bear by all of the “illegitimate” gluten free eaters. So OP needs to sit down and stop complaining about a phenomenon of “fakers” that affects her life minimally while improving the life of those of us who have no choice wrt gluten. [/quote]

Strange, most celiacs state the opposite: that the fakers are so ridiculous that nobody takes it seriously at restaurants and such - oh yes Karenla, the rolls are gluten free. Enjoy! eyeroll by the waiter. That makes it much more dangerous for the celiacs. [/quote]

I was  waitress for many years when I was young. If you think gluten is the only thing they're rolling their eyes at, you're a fool. Enjoy your 'decaf' Karen.[/quote]

LOL "It's so strange that I'm completely caffeine-free but I'm jittery after eating out and I get such migraines! Must be the gluten!"[/quote]
