I used to blow off the gluten free craze but then had a grandson that is totally intolerant of gluten. Even the slightest bit of gluten affects him and his personality changes for the worst because of it. We are very careful of cross contamination. Also, it’s hard to go to a restaurant with him because it’s hard to find truly gluten free options.
As someone with serious food allergies (including an IGE reaction to glutinous grains and a nut and seafood allergy) people like this make my life harder, so I appreciate the comic, but some of these comments…….I do sometimes have to remind a waiter that it would be bad for business if I had anaphylactic shock in their dining room so maybe they out to stop rolling their eyes and pay attention. Not obsessed by my “healthy eating plan” just trying to stay alive and enjoy it.
This roommate may be a bit over the top on food requirements, but please believe people when they tell you there are foods they cannot eat. I have relatives who must be very careful about their diet. There are allergies that can lead to death.
I see a great many folks on the street who have B.A.D. (BigAssDisorder), and a great many others who smell like they have B.G.D. (BigGasDisorder). One must listen carefully when these disorders are being claimed, as their spoken titles sound alike, but BGD actually produces constant unique sounds…
After an overnight visit, one of the roommates told me I should be “honored” because mine was the first meat cooked in their “vegan stove”. Get a grip.

Pretentious or what?

I know the type. At night she sneaks into the kitchen to surreptitiously down a bowl of gluten noodles.

I’d grab a Snickers bar and shove it up her nose and see if she can detect any peanuts in it.

Geee, Delia. I wonder what’s causing it.

Just wondering if “B. G. A. S.” is pronounce “B gas” or “bigass”.
