I’m Intolerant towards people who are intolerant towards Gluten.
What did a bowl of spaghetti ever do to you?

While there are some people who are legitimately, medically gluten intolerant (celiac disease sufferers), most who present themselves as gluten intolerant be are simply those who derive pleasure and satisfaction from claiming victimhood.
Irrational and abusive progs, in other words.
just had to retake my serv safe exam. The instructor was a former chef and in charge of a chain of 28 restaurants food safety. He was actually entertaining and informative. His gluten story…
Gluten awareness was bored into the waiters head. A woman ordered a special dish but it MUST BE GLUTEN FREE. So it was prepared and served but it had a gluten breading. The chef remade the dish, delaying the serve time by 15 minutes. He carried it out, apologizing and genuflecting all the way to the table. He placed it in front of her and she said…
“Wheres my bread?”
Just like 30% think they’re homos, this is one of the go-to, designer, poop-du-jour maladies of the Left!
This and peanutbutter are a result of the subtle indoctrination of peer pressure.
HA!!! That was one of the best JP videos yet!
I have a friend who does the gluten-free shtick quite often.
Used to have a co-worker who did the Fibromyalgia shtick. Oh, she may have had it, but I never had a conversation with her that didn’t include how she suffers with it. I would see her coming down the hall and I’d ‘remember’ somewhere else I needed to be. And I wasn’t the only one…
I’m addicted to placebos.
I feel sorry for the people who really do have allergies like this – I worked at a summer camp once with someone allergic to fish. On one of our field trips we went to the zoo and were near the ice bear’s area and they started to feed him (fish).
Previously she had said that if she stays a little bit away from people with, say, a tuna sandwich, things should be ok, and so that’s what she did. I asked her if she would be all right with this fish smell in the air and she said it might be, but it might depend how strong it was. She just stayed put and did’t make a fuss or anything.
About a minute later I turned back to her and right before my eyes I could see her skin starting to blotch up as angry welts and spots started to appear. They got her away from the area and she was ok later.
A big difference I had noted re: her is that she didn’t go around announcing her allergy like so many do, and I was fairly amazed at the zoo how she didn’t freak out or make a scene. Perhaps she had already learned that getting your system all agitated just doesn’t help anything. And where we live, fish is a staple, so it’s pretty much everywhere. So she may have had some practice in staying calm and just taking care to do what she needed to do – which doesn’t include making sure everyone sees her as a victim. She never ever, as long as I knew her (just a summer, granted), ever make any kind of production about it. She never seemed to me like someone who even *wanted* to be a victim.
On the other hand, I know people for whom their allergy (real or not) comes into the conversation at every possible moment, even when food isn’t even part of the scenario. It’s so tiresome when someone’s whole identity is wrapped up in being a victim.
Wheat gluten, composed of two types of proteins, glutenins and gliadins, hold the carbohydrates together inside the bread I love so much and can’t seem to quit. Nor do I really want to. Now, who’s gonna make me a sammich?!
My sister thought she was gluten intolerant until she found out how crappy the substitutes were. Sheâs okay with gluten again.

That is exactly like my sister in law in the 90’s with Drum circles, hairy pits, and a hairier Beaver. She always has to be ahead of the curve.
She came over to our house for a swim and it was curling out of both sides in front. My wife was laughing & pissed at the same time.
It is not really a NEW fad anymore so now she is on to the Pronoun Alphabet Soup thing.

You are 100% to the point.
We once saw a Costco newsletter. It had an âAsk us a questionâ section. Someone asked if Costcoâs canned tomato sauce was gluten free. The answer:
âAh, tomatoâs donât have gluten.â
I find it hilarious the things the tout being gluten-free that no one who had any concerns about gluten would have ever thought had gluten.
It reminds me of when low and no-carb diets were all the rage. Some restaurant advertised a half-pound hamburger patty with bacon and cheese â wrapped in lettuce so it didnât have any carbs. If such a thing were served on a bun, I think carbs would have been the least of anyoneâs concerns.
I wonder how many of these allergies and intolerances are because of being raised in pristinely clean environments. When my son was young there a was an increase in the number of children with asthma. From what I read, that was because so many parents would freak out if their child came within two feet of dirt. Kidsâ immune systems just had nothing to do so they started reacting to things that should not have been a problem. And now the CDC wants people to wear masks to protect themselves from colds and flu.
Both of my older brothers suffered severe allergies up to their 40s. The worst was those middle-of-the-night ER runs for the one who had asthma attacks (way before there were inhalers). The other, a chef, suffered from shell fish allergies and had to be very careful handling the stuff.
RadioMattM – you are so right. As soon as babies can sit up and sort of play without falling over, put them in the dirt.
(Unless you have dirt full of arsenic, cadmium, lead, spent uranium, radioactive cesium, strontium-90, phthalates, Bisphenol-A and junk like this: https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.119AppA )

Hilarious!
My daughter was sick with gastro issues and perpetual fatigue for years. When she finally tried a gluten free diet she improved substantially in a few weeks but not perfect. Then she dropped dairy and her other symptoms disappeared. She knows what affects her so she tries to avoid it at all costs. If that means she has to tell others who invite her to meals or offer her snacks that she cannot eat food with gluten/dairy so be it. She doesn’t demand others cater to her needs. She just asks what they are offering and then declines/brings her own food.
We call her gluten/dairy free recipes “goofy and doofy”.
Believe me – gluten intolerance is nothing to brag about.
A relative of mine who has been following a gluten free diet for a number of years. She says it just makes her feel better. Recently she mentioned to me that sourdough bread doesnât cause bloating for her. It is my understanding that the fermentation with sourdough makes the carbs in the flour easier to digest. Which makes me wonder if those who believe gluten (protein) causes them problems in how they feel, when really it is the carbs?
I am lactose intolerant but can eat yogurt, another fermented food.
While I have issues other people donât have, one thing Iâm free from is dietary restrictions. I can eat anything Iâm willing to put in my mouth. Of course there are limits, but Iâm easy to please at the dinner table. I might pass on a soy burger, there are limits.
I have no food issues but prefer it un fucked with. I purchase our meat from local foothill butchers. Our vegetables from local farmers markets. Don’t eat many carbs.
Something in wheat, don’t know what, screws with my thyroid. When I cut it out my diet entirely, making no other changes, my thyroid numbers improved and stayed there. So there’s more to it than just gluten intolerance theater.
I enjoy going to Whole Foods and using a California accent ( with optional Vocal Fry) to ask if they have:
*Biodegradable ice
*Free-range clams
*gluten free distilled water
*Recyclable beef
*GMO-modified Tofu
*Paperless straws at the coffee bar, cuz paper is tree murder
The reactions from other shoppers within earshot are priceless.
