God bless science

God bless gluten. ;-)

  • I and two of my three kids have coeliac(0), so we may have to disagree on that!

    Can confirm that various GF alternatives really don't come close to the originals. Without the gluten things seem to be too "biscuity"...

    0) Third child positive for "predisposition to coeliac" on a genetic test, but no symptoms and an endoscopy was negative too. Let's see.

    the rise of the gluten-phobes is unchecked and I feel the rest of us are getting hosed.

    • This is typical "help, the 99% is being oppressed because the 1% is not being oppressed" garbage. There's gluten everywhere. In a lot of American cuisine, every single item on the menu has wheat flour in it.

      Gluten isn't a phobia, it's an allergen that causes a variety of symptoms in people who are sensitive to it, from constipation and sneezing all the way up to bleeding and brain damage.
