I have a few friends with Celiac Disease. It can be a very serious problem. I know a woman who is probably going to die because her sensitivity to it is intense. Quitting Wheat so I'll stop having migraines... let's just say, I'm fully aware that I can certainly tolerate a little cross contamination.
But so many can't.
And this is why, today, I am writing a love letter for the new Gluten Free Fad Diet and all it's adearants. I have heard and read many complaints, and I get why it gets old for those in food service, and even some who feel that your diet belittles their necessary dietary changes, but don't let them get to you. You are making a change that matters! Especially for those of us with the necessary dietary changes- I thank you.
For so long this problem was something that mostly only the people who were suffering reactions were really aware of. Because so many people have now started to take a closer look at the diet in the first world and noticed the overabundance of some substances, and the corrilation with allergies, intolerances and general lesser health in our bodies- and you? You wonderful people went out and made sure that you took care of yourselves. You made your voices heard in Resturaunts, in Grocery Stores, all over Social Media. Because of you not just Gluten Free options, but many of the other major food allergies are gaining recognition at a faster pace every day. The Gluten Free options are getting more abundant, and better priced. Because you have upped the supply and demand factor. Just for that, I am so grateful to you. Lovely, gorgeous dieters you. I truly hope that you get all of the health benefits you are looking for from your diets, for, because of you- I can get what I need from mine.
So many effusions of joy, love and well-wishing,
Jo Aich.
