I came across this from another GF blog and it worries me
It tells about how people are using different diets to suit their moods, such as GF, Low Carb, Lactose Free, Atkins etc, etc. It is having quite a knock on effect for people who need to use diets, especially the GF, lactose free, dairy free, as a lot of restaurants and chefs are preparing special diets only to have people, supposedly GF, digging into the bread basket. This is giving rise to places refusing to provide special meals and people are having to prove that they can't eat certain foods. Disgraceful. The article shows just how stupid some people can be.

Why are healthy people using a GF diet, to loose weight and then diving head first into the bread basket. GF diets are there to enable people with Coeliac or Gluten Sensitivity/Intolerance to live a normal life. Gluten, particularly for Coeliacs, can cause damage to their gut which can, in extreme cases, lead to cancer. The affects for a person who cannot eat gluten can be debilitating, making it impossible, sometimes to eat out as they often need to be very near to a loo. Believe me no fun. I am not coeliac but I am gluten intolerant and I would not wish this on my worse enemies.
So come on you restaurants, food outlets, please understand that not everyone are using this diet to loose weight or for any other reason, other than to enable to get a good balanced diet.
