Disappointed In Seth Meyers Tonight

I'm tired of the rampant jokes about "gluten free" people.
First the New Yorker magazine.
 

Now Seth Meyers made a joke about a dating site for gluten free people, and said something about "the most annoying people."

I was angry enough to go to the show's facebook page and post something.

It's not a lifestyle choice for me -- it's a matter of life and death.
 

 

Won't be watching his Late Night Show any longer.

 

Boo.

Yeah,

 

I've been raging pretty hard over these "scientific" social media ads lambasting the gluten free lifestyle (regardless of the reason). Who cares? It's no ones business and it's certainly not hurting anyone other than the person partaking in the diet. (which is isn't). Oh, you don't like to hear someone talking about gluten free? It's annoying to you? Well deal with it and go talk to someone else or mind your own damn business. 

 

I heard the same stuff when I was vegetarian (for ethical reasons). I still would be if it wasn't so hard/inconvenient to find protein.

 

UGH

Well, to some extent I think it's funny.

 

There are a lot of people doing gluten-free to be hipsters and I think that is more what he's making fun of.

 

I think most of us here have medical/health reasons why we are gluten-free but there are a good number of hipster types doing it as well.

 

IMO, if it is really about the hipsters I don't have an issue with it. I people make fun of people like me who are big Star Wars fans as well, no biggie.

I guess I've not experienced the hipster gluten free movement.  I live in a very rural area, with a large Amish population. Not so many Amish hipsters. The rest of the community supports a military base ... again, not a big hipster group.

 

So, people choose to be gluten free for fun?

Huh.

 

Not something I'd find entertaining.  :)

Yeah, there are hipsters out there that latch on to certain things as some sort of proof of their "coolness". Sort of like some people that are vegetarian or vegan are pretty aggressive about pointing out that they are just that.  It puts them in what they perceive to be "the cool crowd".

 

While I'm doing great with the gluten-free lifestyle, I'd prefer I didn't have to adhere to it. :blink:

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
