Scientists who found gluten sensitivity evidence have now shown it doesn't exist

67. For me as well

I have CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia. I have a lot of food sensitivities. I was gluten free long before the recent "fad", when manufactured GF breads were weapons of mass destruction (my, how they've improved!). Through an elimination diet almost 20 yrs ago, I found my eczema ceased and my Fibro pain diminished significantly when I went GF.

I had the blood test and biopsy - not celiac, but my internist recognized what I knew as well - gluten was/is an issue for me. As he was also familiar with my illnesses, and how often food sensitivities come with the territory, his recommendation (which I had already been doing up until the 2 weeks prior to my biopsy, where one gorges on gluten) was to stay off of it. I have.

GF has come a long way since I first started. Definitely more options, but with those come a lot of sugary crap as well. A GF diet isn't automatically healthy, especially if you're filling up on the cookies, pastries, etc.

I'm not the food police. If someone wants to go GF, go for it, I don't care. Yes, for some it's a fad, but for some they genuinely do feel better. Truly, it's their business, not mine.
