OK I know Im going to piss off a whole bunch of people posting this article (5 Signs Your Gluten Allergy is Fake) but it made me chuckle... I think the point is this: celiac disease is an allergic reaction to gluten/wheat; however, processed foods can make you feel like crap for other reasons SO if you eat a lot or processed foods and feel like crap it does not necessarily mean you are gluten intolerant. And now just another observation for no other reason than to get my ass kicked: there seems to me, in my limited and humble opinion, to be a significant difference between people in Maine and people in Chicago and it is this: its really not cool to talk about gluten intolerance, even if you have it, in Chicago -- whereas in Maine, its considered a very good ice breaker, as in Hi, Im Adele and I cant eat gluten... In Chicago, this would be taken as a serious sign of weakness and probably get you mugged. So, if youre in Chicago and in a new crowd at a party and you dont know anybody, put it this way: Hi, Im Adele and I belong to the Westside Celiac Cretins and we eat assholes like you for lunch. If everyone chokes on their cocktail meatballs, youre probably in Evanston. If people give you the High Five, you can walk to your car and not get mugged (not because everyone in Chicago is a gangbanger but because Chicagoans give people a lot of latitude for being crazy...).
