its very difficult wen people dont understand it espically when u get a new job. im on a new diet that helps where u cant eat wheat and certain colorants in food, you also cant hav alcohol. almost like a wheat free allergy diet


Ok like a gluten free diet then. Sounds a similar recommendation given to people with ADHD/ADD/DAMP

I think you'll find that unless you have a specific intolerance or allergy all foods are good for you, even the odd greasy fish supper, the problem is caused when people eat nothing but a certain type of food, hence the phrase "balanced diet" every food contains some goodness and as long as it's eaten in moderation, there shouldn't be a problem.

well yes on one part its good in a balanced diet but ive also heard it lines the intestines which can cause some people to gain weight and stop some nutrients entering the body

Well you're clearly the expert here.

I'd love to read more on this, would you mind quoting some journals?

EDIT: ...and gluten doesn't bloody line the intenstine.

In Celiacs, yes (it damages some of the lining)

Everyone else, no.

I don't think Gluten has any intrinsic nutritional value, but the majority can tolerate it without issues.

Yep, it's thought it causes an allergic reaction which damages the lining. However nothing at any point 'lines' the intestine.


...and once again there's absolutely no literature that I know of that says gluten is harmful to the vast majority of people.
