I have a family member with celiac, diagnosed by endoscopy (corrosion of the vilii, done by a local doctor) and by antibodies to the gluten (Mayo clinic).

I am equally tired of virtue signalling libs and "skepticker than thou" conservatives.

I have 2 friends with celiac disease, diagnosed, it is very real.

Celiac does indeed exist. And it is serious. It’s just not as common as the food faddists would have us believe.

But...the overwhelming majority of people who claim to have it have never been clinically diagnosed. Most of them have digestive issues because of their lifestyle and eating habits, not celiac. When you eat the kind of crap so many eat, you’re bound to fart a lot, and more.

If you don’t have celiac, there is nothing inherently wrong with gluten.

I was not referring to people with celiac! I was referring to the many people who don’t digest wheat well, but find they surprisingly digest wheat well in other countries!
