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.)
ION, my friend is going to provide ASL interpreting for Lady GAGA today in Portland Maine for the rally against Don't Ask, Don't Tell this afternoon! Hilarious!

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.
So I think that some of the people who are intolerant may actually have the disease.
And, according to WebMD, if you think you have celiac you shouldn't just take gluten out of your diet without talking to your doctor first. Because it eases the most obvious symptoms and it can remove the markers they use to help identify that you have the disease. (/Internet Doctor)
The wife of the owner of, what I and many others think is, the best restaurant in Bmore has celiac so there is a ton of gluten free stuff on their menu. Plus, I'm pretty sure, they always have gluten free beer available.
I just got mistaken for someone else. I am a speshul snowflake, dammit, and that must not happen. I mean, unless it's family or that one chick from university.
I suspect he's mistaking me for the chick whose name sounds like mine, but for him to approach me in person means he asked someone who she was, and they told him the wrong chick.
Hmm. I guess I would be more irritated if I were her. Still, people, stop it.
Man, the urge to Pooh Case is strong.
