I refuse to make fun of dietary restrictions after spending five years as a waiter rolling my eyes at gluten free people and then developing a gluten intolerance.
The universe is a tricky bitch. It gave me a literal pain in the ass.

You can be annoyed by gluten bad gluten free while recognizing the real pain of celiacs.
Just because it isn’t a visible disease does not mean everyone is in the right.

I once had a buddy with Celiac’s, it was interesting trying to find a restaurant that worked for us both. The tide of hipsters wanting everything gluten free was a godsend!

Nah I guarantee NOBODY is going through the gluten free diet unless they really believe there might be a chance they’re allergic. And you have to go gluten free to see if you are.

Eh, you haven’t worked in good service.
What always sent me was the people who ordered gravy after telling me they were gluten sensitive…

No you don’t, not for celiac. It’s symptoms are debilitating.

It’s possible to be delibitated and not know why. Until you stop eating gluten and get better. You should watch House MD, House is always using the treatment as the test. He tries something and sees if the patient gets better. Many of those patients are dying and he still doesn’t know what they have until he tries a treatment.

I know a case like that. He was unfortunate enough to have doctors that were unable to diagnose him properly. When he started the diet in his thirties and his absolutely debilitating health condition got a lot better in so many ways, it was such a relief!
