Yes it is. Imagine it was a husband complaining about what his wife eats

Thank her from the bottom of your heart, OP.
She's literally giving you more years of life.

She went on a huge health kick earlier this year with switching all of our pots and pans to stainless steel, our storage containers to glass, and most of our household products to cleaner options. I didn’t really mind because there are health benefits and it’s better for the environment. Now we have always ate healthy but we still allowed our snacks. Lately she has been eliminating any foods with “ bad” ingredients. It’s frustrating because she will stop buying what I ask, and many things she will side eye me on when I bring them home to eat. I know she is just trying to do what she thinks is best but it’s driving me crazy. More of a vent instead of a question. Please tell me some of you can relate?


A correct version of this phrase would be "Now, we have always eaten healthily..."

Sorry dude, can't get past this and I don't care about the snacks enough.

As for food its healthier for you but yeah sometimes you just want a little bit of junk. Why don't you have some snacks available to munch on.

Gluten is silly. Unless you are coeliac you don't need to restrict gluten, there is no health benefit.

Perhaps she finds it hard to eat healthy with that stuff around. Could you compromise and put it away in a cupboard she doesn't use.


This is your opinion. And many health experts disagree.

Good for OP's wife for taking initiative to improve her and her family's health.


Health experts is another way of saying people without medical degrees or scientific knowledge. No thanks.


Better than some random crazy who probably weights 300 pounds posting anonymously on DCUM. I'll pass on your "wisdom", thanks.


Ha ha. My sisters kids are diagnosed coeliacs/ celiacs. There is a blood test you can take to find out if you have a sensitivity.

If you aren't sensitive its better to not eat gluten free bread. If you knew all the foods that gluten is in its laughable to think eating gluten free bread is gluten free.

Besides the fibre is good for in whole wheat bread. But you do you.


I know all the foods that gluten is in. Fiber is in plenty of foods, namely fruits and vegetables, not just bread.

I will continue to trust the experts I follow. You sound totally clueless about nutrition anyway so please keep the condescension to yourself.


Fibre is essential in protecting you from bowel cancer so whole wheat bread is better. If you are not sensitive there is plenty of articles to state there are no health benefits.

Yes there is fibre in fruits and vegies but most Americans still don't eat enough fibre. And condescension - I think you called me 300 pounds, pot meet kettle.


OMG... what about there is fiber in fruits and veggies don't you understand?! Not everyone is eating ham and cheese sandwiches all day and then slapping some bread to meet their fiber requirements.

Once again, I am utterly amazed by those who know the least about nutrition doling "advice" out to others. Thanks for your input, I will not be taking it! Enjoy your "healthy" ham grilled cheese sandwiches!


I never said I eat ham and cheese sandwiches because I don't eat them at all, you said that. That is the little novel going on in your head. I mentioned the fibre as people say that gluten free bread is healthier however below is what I have read about gluten free bread so I would prefer to pick up whole grain bread if I want to make a sandwich and if you are eating gluten free bread be aware that it could be more processed. Also you may eat all the fruit and veg you want however I like to include carbohydrates as they fuel the body and give you energy for workouts.


"In general, a gluten-free diet is more likely to be low in vitamins and minerals such as vitamins B and D, zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, and fiber. Eating gluten-free—without paying close attention to the quality and nutrient content of foods—can raise the risk for developing obesity and/or metabolic. Many gluten-free bread products are prepared with corn or rice starch, both of which have a high glycemic index and low fiber content. And because gluten-free grains don’t always play nice in forming bread dough, manufacturers of gluten-free breads often mix in fats or oils to dough increase palatability (which also ups the calorie content!) and additives like starches and gums to improve texture.

However, there are a bunch of different flour options when it comes to GF baked goods. Some, such as oat flour and chickpea flour, have relatively good nutritional stats. Others, like tapioca flour, are pretty much pure starch. Recognizing consumer demand, food scientists are currently hard at work to develop tasty, delicious, and nutritious gluten-free breads using some of the more nutritious flours and novel preparation methods. In the meantime, if you’re eating gluten-free bread, be a label-reader—watch out for long ingredient lists, additives, and low fiber contents.“

NP. OR just skip the regular and gluten free bread altogether. Honestly, since I gave up bread I'm MORE regular. LESS constipation. And yes, I ate whole wheat, whole grain breads. Everybody's body is different, obviously. Some people are allergic to MEAT. Others can't digest lactose. And some folks feel like crap when they eat gluten.

Food scientists create foods that are fat/sugar/salt bombs to get you to eat more, and not rarely nutritionists really have been bought out by the food industry. Not sure I'd put my health in their hands.

It is about masculinity. Sorry, a dude waddling around with bigger boobs than most women and a butt that Sir Mix A Lot would write a song about is NOT masculine it's the opposite. I guess you've convinced yourself scarfing down tubs of ice cream makes you a manly man but it's the complete, utter opposite. Get in shape, lazybones.

Didn’t read the whole thread but read enough to see she has made great choices (I buy Attitude products too, love the
, they are not even very pricey which is great) and bad oils are TERRIBLE for you. She is doing a great thing for your family.

I was over controlling too when I first started worrying about chemicals and bad fats etc. I relaxed overtime so that 90% of the time we are good in the house but I don’t give my husband a hard time about periodic indulgences. When he eats out for lunch it is out of sight out of mind for me.

It sounds like you are still having the stuff you are used to a couple times a week, which sounds reasonable. Can you learn to appreciate this OP? She sounds pretty moderate to be honest.

She does not have celeriac but she has other issues that she think it’s might help. Same with the processed food. We do eat healthy not we have always had some of that stuff in the house. Now she won’t buy it. Our kids also eat very healthy and do not drink juice or eat any junk food.


Yes OP some people have gluten sensitivity so they shouldn't eat gluten, if you don't have a sensitivity then you should be fine to eat it. If she decided she was sensitive to lactose, would you give up milk and ice cream? Lets say your wife was sensitive to eating nuts or seeds would you also stop eating nuts because she has. What if she went vegan would you stop eating all meat? If she decided that drinking beer made her bloated, do you now not drink as well?

At the end of the day you are an adult, you can eat what you want. If your wife wants to limit gluten because of rosacea then she should however she can have her bread and the rest of the family can have theirs. You can have some small snacks if you want, she is quite capable of eating healthy and you having some snacks you enjoy.
