My wife is a real celiac, like can't process gluten at all. It's annoying for 2 reason

1. She can't digest it at all, so if I'm making a sandwich and touch bread and then accidentally touch her sandwich she will get sick. If I drink a beer and kiss her she will get sick. If a restaurant cooks her food on a grill or pot that had something with gluten in it before washing she will get sick.

2. All these fake gluten free people make it worse for her since half the restaurants or people she tells about it think she's just on some fad of the month lame diet and don't take the precautions necessary and/or judge her or try and pressure her to eat/drink gluten

Find it difficult to believe touching gluten bread transfers any thing whatsoever.

Psychosomatic?

Experiment. Touch but do not tell.

It's a double-edged sword. The fakers have also made it more popular and now we have waaaaayy more GF prodcuts (not that you should be eating it as most of it is crap), but compared to 10, even 5 years ago it is much easier to have celiac disease.

I know one real deal Celiac person, and she's generally the same. She's had to go in for monthly treatments since she was a teenager and all sorts of annoying crap. She hates the movement for what it's done to the people who really need it.

Funny/sad thing is when, every once in a while, she'll get drunk and say "F it" and shovel a pizza or tacos or something. The next day is mind-numbingly bad for her.
