    As someone who has to eat gluten free, I will never understand people who do it voluntarily, but I don’t shame people who say they “feel better” without it either, because every BODY is different.

      I think it’s complicated because some people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, but the symptoms are so common and can be attributed to other things that it’s hard to know for sure. I am guessing most of these people suspect they have a gluten intolerance of some sort but are unable to verify it.

      Some people who don’t need gluten free when they eat, they feel less bloated and and it helps their digestive system. But gluten free or not, packaged food is a wrong way to go by. Thanks for your comment. Good luck!

      It's hard for me to explain to people that my gluten intolerance isn't digestive in nature. For me, it's all inflammatory. I'm working on getting allergy testing done to see what foods allergies i may have that could make matters even worse. Aren't auto immune disorders fun?

    If you have to be gluten-free (which my husband and I do because of Celiac), definitely go with a whole grain pasta (brown rice, quinoa, etc.) or a lentil or chickpea pasta and not one made out of white rice or refined starches. The GF whole grain and legume pastas have a way better nutrient profile. The price difference compared to regular pasta is awful, though...

    As baker I fought going gluten free for my hashimotos. I started out going gluten-free for 3 months. I didn't think i felt any different so i went on gluten overload during a vacation to prove it was no different. I WAS SOOOOO WRONG!!!! Come to find out, my issue with gluten is inflammatory. Back on gluten my joints were on fire, i was breaking out in acne everywhere and my cycle was the most painful i had in a long time. I've been gluten-free a full 2 years now. I still miss a lot of my gluten favorites but i know sneaking them just isn't worth it for me.

    I eat gluten free as I used to struggle with chronic migraines with auras and missed so much school and work. In 2015 I figured out that gluten was the trigger. If I even have a bite of gluten I will get a migraine.
    It is so annoying when I walk into the pasta isle and almost all the gluten free pasta is gone. If you can eat gluten, please buy the regular pasta and save the gluten free for those of us who can't have gluten!

    Thank you!! So many time people find out I’m celiac so I have to be gluten free and they’re like wow you must eat so healthy. Actually no, my pasta is more processed and I had to put a down payment to eat my poly pocket sized bread. And it’s not even fortified with vitamin E. Also my pasta turns to stone when it’s cold so forget pasta salad.

      @samanthatheminimalist Рік тому +1

      Compare the nutrition info on the box to regular pasta, I usually find that there’s a little more protein in legume pasta but that’s the only benefit. Also watch out for the serving size because legume pastas seem to inflate their nutritional content by saying a serving is bigger than a standard pasta serving.

  • @Ydce1891

    I have to disagree. Gluten can be a trigger for those of us with autoimmune diseases. I may not have the severity of someone with celiac but I have RA and my inflammatory markers are easily triggered by gluten, alcohol and sugar. Yes regular pasta may be less refined but f@ck having a painful flare over real pasta. Barilla makes gf pasta that tastes pretty spot on but makes for awful leftovers.

  • @kobaltkween

    Most gluten free things I've seen have used much healthier flours. But then I'm looking based on those flours, like the chickpeas and lentils mentioned above, precisely because they have more fiber and protein (I have no issues with gluten). Still, there's only so many gluten free items in the store. When I find 5 or so different high fiber, higher protein gluten free options in the pasta aisle of my local regular supermarket, it seems to me like it's more of a toss up than a trend, but I could easily be wrong.

    • @JKRBW
      @JKRBW Рік тому +3

      It really is hit or miss depending which stores you have access to. This is all part of why it's so expensive to eat a medically prescribed GF diet. We're left either visiting multiple stores (gas isn't free, neither is my time) or sucking it up and doing larger trips at the more expensive store that carries the worthwhile GF stuff. Not to mention the trial and error to figure out which stuff is worth buying again.
