Could Gluten-Free Eating Leave You Alone and Misjudged?

Lately, half the people in pretty much any survey are insular and/or stupid.  The internet gives so much information that is consumed so quickly (scroll those headlines) that people feel entitled to be utterly judgmental about something they know virtually nothing about.

I stick a loaf of gluten free bread on the roller at the supermarket and can almost smell the sniffs of folks in line.   Would someone buying, say, Depends need to feel the need to defend the choice?

I get that judgemental look, when I check out also. I just list off my conditions and it changes to empathy, then I pass off with a joke or statement about it making me a good cook, or health benefits.

I will admit with all my issues GI wise ontop of the issues with my Autism, I would rate myself as high maintenance and seemingly arrogant.
Selfish and demanding.....uh yeah to a extent, I feel wronged by the world and life. You get multiple AI diseases and have a VERY limited diet you feel like your owed something in life to make up for the freedoms lost and how you have to be treated special. Logically I know it is wrong and no ones fault but I am envious and hold a slight grudge against normal people and feel like I need to be compensated for my life being turned upside down by my health issues. DO note these feelings have been diminishing over the years as acceptance moves.

Rules for living happily gluten-free with my significant other (SO):

1. No gluten products allowed in the house

2. Do not, at any time lecture on, or inhibit my SO from enjoying gluten-laden foods outside of the house.

3. I will sit & nurse my iced-tea with a smile and share in happy conversation while my SO devours glutenous foods.

4. My SO will place all bread baskets to the far right side of the table & cover it with a napkin.

5. My SO will be patient & laugh along with my gluten jokes when ads for glutenized food play during televised programs. Like: How about a little meat with that fried gluten sandwich? 

6. Do not permit discussions on food prices or costs while shopping. Americans spend upwards of $2K on snack & fast foods, which celiacs cannot eat.  Therefore, I will buy as many grass-fed & tender meats each week as desired.

As far as arrogant gluten-reaction naysayers go:

When annoyed at receiving gluten remarks just describe in 'graphic' detail the hours you spend on the toilet with foul smelling explosive diarrhea with each exposure. They turn their tails & run! Ha!
