Gluten Sniffer


Did you know that May is Celiac Disease Awareness month?

Me neither.

I probably forgot because I was busy observing "let's all go back to cloth diapers day" and "what the fuck happened to my wifi connection minute".

Here are some interesting tids about the gluten-free craze:

Celiac Disease affects one percent of people. Celiac people can't eat gluten due to serious health consequences.

Yet among Millennials, nearly 30% percent report being gluten-free.

In a recent study (all studies are true, that's why they are called studies), the reason most often cited for avoiding gluten, among people who don't have celiac, was "no reason".

Make of that what you will, but this blogger is gutting the gluten.

Sort of. I'm not eating it anymore.

Instead, I'm a proud gluten sniffer. Cuz I still need my gluten fix.

And cuz, you know, glue sniffing is bad for you.

I tried it for the first time last night.

Nice. Reaaaally nice.

A few minor side effects, of course.

My nose became constipated. This was quickly followed by diarrhea of the nose.

Currently I have a yeast infection in my left nostril.

But overall, better results than glue-sniffing. And, I'm enjoying the health benefits of a gluten-free diet.

Hey, look at me. I'm gluten-free.
