Coeliac disease is no joke. It’s an auto-immune condition where the body reacts severely to gluten and other cereal proteins.
The intestines become inflamed and damaged resulting in poor absorption, basically… in no way a good time.
It’s safe to say that it’s a tad frustrating for coeliacs that gluten-free has become a food trend. All of a sudden it’s gluten-free this and gluten-free that, and coeliacs the world over are now being pegged as simply ‘health conscious’.
We’ve compiled a list of a few things coeliacs are completely sick of hearing;
- “I’m going gluten-free this month too” – Cooooooool now we’re the same, oh wait… it’s not the same.
- “Is that a real disease?…we all get cramps like” – Shut up.
- “I always thought I had coeliac disease, but I’ve never checked” – If you had it… you’d know.
- “Gluten-free bread is SO gross, how do you even LIVE?” – We know it’s disgusting… this is our life, but guess what?… bread makes you fat.
- “God you’re so lucky, being gluten free makes you so skinny” I’d throw all my pastries at you right now if I could trust myself to hold them.
