Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, not an allergy.
And yes, this. A person with a true wheat allergy will have an immediate immune response that could be anything from mild hives to going into anaphylactic shock.
(Food allergies vary widely in their severity - I'm allergic to eggplant, it makes my mouth itch. My brother is allergic to peanuts, they make him die.)

This is me and coconut, but I've been describing it as making my mouth fuzzy and my tongue feel like it's coated in something, and then I can't really taste things for a while.
I am having trouble keeping up these days. I do know that lots of people need ~ma, and I'm sure if I list everyone, I'm going to miss some people. So, I'm just going to shoot a bunch of it out there to everyone, and if you don't need it, just pass it on.
Gluten can do some major damage to the intestine, so it's not just feeling bad, and for those who have a full blown case (like my sister & nephew, yes, it could kill them, albeit slowly).
Right, but most people who have an intolerance to gluten do not actually have celiac disease, from what I understand.
Not that I think people should judge anyone about what they are eating! You should just be able to say "no, thanks" when you don't want to or can't eat something for whatever reason and not get hassled about it.
yeah, I don't mop wood floors. I have not mopped the kitchen yet though, and only today after posting about it here did I clean mac's bathroom. My bathroom has not been cleaned.
I don't it to be school out time. who has the stop time power? want that. willnotcrywillnotcrywillnotcry.
As long as we're on the topic of allergies, I do find that mopping my wood floors is better at keeping the dust & pollen in check than sweeping alone. (During treesex season, open windows are my nemesis.)

Okay that is AWESOME.

Celiac disease can only be truly diagnosed with a biopsy, and symptoms run from not having any to ending up in the hospital because of a piece of toast (my nephew). So I think that some of the people who are intolerant may actually have the disease.
From celiac.com:
Celiac disease, also known as gluten intolerance
So I'm not sure there's a medical distinction other than one being the layman's term for the other.
I had an ER doctor carefully explain to me that the aspirin allergy I had listed on my intake form was not actually an allergy, it was a sensitivity (based on my described symptoms). I'm still gonna list it because I really don't want anyone to give me any, but I guess now I know.
