I read it, and actually it is a terrible article.

Lets see,

No.1 Point. Going gluten free wasn't a placebo affect when I have a stool test, that says my intestines, inflame when I eat gluten.

No. 2. Since i cut out gluten, I actually gained weight. It isn't restrictive unless you just ate crap. Plus there are a lot of crap gluten free items, out now.

No. 3. A GF diet doesn't have to be low in foodmaps. You think if you drink 3 pro shakes a day with artificial sweeteners is low in fodmaps., it isn't.

2. If being gluten-free has allowed you to lose weight, consider that it's probably not because you're now free of the opioid-like effects of a mysterious wheat protein, but because most people start to lose weight whenever they start following any diet where they're forced to pay attention to what they're eating. Not only that, but gluten-free diets are pretty restrictive, so you're bound to lose weight.

I suspect this is the case with my reduced gluten "diet."

NO. THAT IS NOT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HIM. DAMN IT, IT IS BECAUSE OF THE GLUTEN AND NO ONE IS GOING TO TELL HIM DIFFERENTLY!!!

Seriously, I honestly don't give a fuck if his issue is gluten or not - it matters none to me. I don't have the time to argue it with him nor the desire. What I laugh about isn't that he insists on gluten being so bad and sticking to his guns but rather that he fucking argues with me every chance he gets. He has a history of doing this. I believe the last issue was something to do with cardio. I am to the point now that I just skip over his posts most of the time.

I like gluten.

And glutes.

[nexa]

I do like the open hand / closed fist analogy to explain the blunting of villi.

Not that I'll really be seeing much of celiac disease at the county hospital, but it's something to keep in mind.

Trust me, it isn't about arguing with you. Someone is full of himself.

It was about the issue, your just the one that posted the article. I would have posted the same thing on the other site, if I was a member there. People like you and him that just has this dismissive attitude, about people being gluten intolerant without having celiac disease that pisses me off.

[Ken Skip Hill]

Boo Hoo.
Like I said before, you argue a lot - no matter the topic.
Because I dont have the opinion that you do I am full of myself?
I think we both like each other equally.

This could make for an interesting exchange, actually.

This whole gluten/no gluten thing is quite amusing/interesting. My wife was tested, (through blood work) and was deemed gluten intolerant. She stopped gluten period. Then gradually reintroduced it back into her diet.

Fast forward to today. We live in France and she eats as much gluten filled products as she wants...not one effect from it. One would have to wonder about the processing that takes place in the US versus Europe...Brings up a good question, whats the difference? Is there one?

[MachMood]

Gluten intolerance doesn't mean she sees immediate effect every time. She could
Be experiencing some intestinal inflammation nd not feel a thing.

I just found myself going hungry, due to no gluten free choices on hand, or for example if we had a meal over pasta at work I would eat a very small portion( of the pasta).

I believe my weight loss was caused a calorie deficit, and not eating less gluten specifically.

He is a mess of contradiction. This happened during our last "debate".

If you have free time, go for it. I am not dealing with the guy. Clearly my demeanor has changed over the years or I would have already destroyed him. Maybe I am just less full of myself?? Nah, that can't be it.
