They sort of buried the punchline, so I highlighted it in red. Think of the millions of people who never had the benefit of being diagnosed celiac because they never tried wheat.

Hmmm - had I not eaten a lot of carbs over the years, I might not have had the "benefit" of being diagnosed as diabetic.

Part of the "gluten free phenomenon" is the action that food manufacturers have taken to satisfy the demand. Now, when I buy meat, it's advertised as gluten-free. No kidding! With whole sections of supermarkets and "health food" stores dedicated to gluten-free products, there is the siren call to eat this carbage which, in many cases, is as damaging as the foods being replaced.

I'm curious as to whether many of those who select gluten-free products know what gluten is and can identify the source of gluten.

With processed meats at least, the gluten-free label still means something. I have spent way too much time looking for preformed beef patties with no wheat, so my sister could eat them.

I've read similar nonsensical articles.

Don't take care of your own health! We can't give you a diagnosis unless you are sick!!

What nutritional deficiencies are there if you don't eat wheat? I assume those of us not eating processed foods such as wheat, pasta, rice, etc. may also have these issues.

I feel fortunate to have been Dx w/ celiac in the 90s when all the GF junk food was unavailable, gross, and/or very expensive. By the time the suppliers realized there was a market, I was very content with my bread-, pasta-, etc. free life.

As data emerge that folate-fortification of flour may not have been the best idea, pregnant women and kids at a minimum may be better off without wheat!

I think standard dieticians are worried we'll be missing all the vitamins they've added back to the processed and stripped flour products.

Good point, and for the deli meats I buy, I like to see a label before purchasing. Many of the Boar's Head meats at a couple local places are very low carb. Never realized that they added wheat to beef patties. Is nothing sacred????

After Safeway Canada discontinued its pure beef burgers, virtually the only wheat-free burgers I could find, I finally broke down and got a Starfrit Hamburger Stacker and pre-form and freeze ground beef when I get it on sale.

None.

Zero.

Zip.

The issues are not issues, unless you are trying to sell wheat products. There is no need for the human body to consume any foods that don't come from animals.

Now, grant you, if you eat only the steak, and none of the organ meat, you may have issues. But we evolved, so far as anyone can see, eating grains only as an outlier, because, without processing them, we can't digest them.

I haven't eaten grains on purpose for close to three years now, and I'm significantly more healthy than the bulk of people my age. There are a lot of people here who have been grain free for much, much longer.

I've got a cheap Norpro burger smasher - I like it. I do 1/4 lb. burgers so if I get an itch to get creative, I can pull out a pound or whatever and thaw it quickly. Every time ground beef is on sale I buy as much as I can afford. Thank God for deep freezers!

I've been mostly grain-free for almost 15 years. The lack of vitamin Wheat hasn't killed me yet.

I have for 13 years and I think I'm still alive and kicking lol!!!

No grains in my diet and still alive after over 10 years. It's a miracle!

But JEAN! You don't know if you have celiac disorder, because you can't have the antibodies, if you aren't eating it.

You people are ALL doing it the wrong way. We need to follow the rules, People.

1) Be miserable.

2) Go to the clinic, be told that it's probably the flu.

3) Do some reading on your own, go back, ask if you could be sensitive to wheat, be told there's no such thing: it's celiac, or nothing.

4) Repeat for a year of misery.

5) Stop eating grains, feel better.

6) Go back for something unrelated, mention that your symptoms went away when you stopped eating grains.

7) Be scolded for bypassing the medical model.
