Bullshit.

What is BS? That she didn't want to be around the kid because of the shampoo? Or are you saying I myself made this up?

I'm saying you made that up to make the gluten free dieter look as ridiculous as possible. Not buying it.

Nope!

This is my friend's sister. Friend told me the story. Then the next time sister was in town, I met her. She (sister) made an off handed comment to me that she has to drive separately everywhere because she can't be in confined spaces with her niece due to the gluten in her shampoo. She said even when they're in the same house she feels the effects (niece is the only member of the family with long hair).

She's probably sensitive to smells. Either that or you have a weird bunch of friends and family. Birds of a feather flock together.

I'm the person you are responding to. I thought it was the smell, too. But she made a point of saying it was the gluten. I even googled it myself. I don't believe her, which is why I posted about here, on a thread about using gluten sensitivity to garner attention.

Please explain then, why am I, a wheat allergic person, diagnosed by gastro, and blood test and an endoscopy, in an alleged bad mood? I think it is the opposite, lack of bread. Plus, one piece of evidence? Your argument is weak. Supposed to affect mood? Says whom?

Mood Disorders and Gluten: It’s Not All in Your Mind! A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6266949/

I don't care what other people eat (unless it's endangered animals or people, I guess), but I can't stand when people with restrictive diets try to force their diets on me or try and attribute literally any problem one might have to diet.

You see it in this thread, with people implying that people should go gluten free to address mood disorders. Stuff like that is what makes people like OP annoyed by gluten free folks.

Eat what you want, try not to talk about it so much, definitely don't try to sell other people on it. I know you'll say "Well keto/gluten-free/caveman/vegan/whatever has helped me lose weight, build muscle, improved my mood, boosted my sex life, and made me a millionaire!" I don't care. Please stop talking about it.

So you hate people on a gluten free diet?

Some people just see it for what it is and others will just call it an upset stomach or whatnot.

Finally a voice of reason. I have been hoping someone will post something that makes sense. Thank you for being that voice. There are smart people here!

I watched my aunts go through this stage growing up. I don’t remember what “gluten” was in those days, maybe sugar? But they were constantly eliminating some food or another.

100%, absolutely right!

Pray do argue with me, if you follow GF but do not have celiac of a wheat allergy. Prove me wrong!

People who obsess over their own diets are bad enough but people who obsess over what other people eat, and the amount of bloating they experience, are the worst. What hurt you so badly along the way that you care this much about how much about what other people eat or doubt how much they fart? Get a life, OP. Is there really no better target for your hatred than those who eat a gluten free diet? Is the MCPS forum quiet today?

Pot caliing the kettle! Your post is almost longer than the OP!

Must be a disciple of Trump school of posting! Same deflecting narrative? Let me guess, you are gf even though you don't have celiac or a wheat allergy? Did I accidentlay target you?!
Dcum is meant for people like me and you are posting here and in the same exact vein...you are like me.

Huh? I somehow don't imagine Trump supporters are much into the gluten free diet but correct me if I"m wrong (I'm not one). I'm not gluten free either. I eat whatever I want to. I also don't get my panties in a twist over what other people eat or how much they fart afterwards.

You can't follow a more complex argument?

I can when there is one to follow. I don't just make them up in my head like OP does.

Bullshit.

What is BS? That she didn't want to be around the kid because of the shampoo? Or are you saying I myself made this up?

I'm saying you made that up to make the gluten free dieter look as ridiculous as possible. Not buying it.

OP here. There is no need to pp to make anything up to make a gluten free dieters look ridicious! They do it themselves, no help needed!

OK, OP. Send me your phone number and I will text you pictures of the diarrhea I get when I eat gluten.

I can’t imagine getting this upset about what other people eat or don’t eat. You have issues.
