Seriously!

In preparation for the Superbowl, I want to ask the celiac patients out there a couple of questions:

1. Do you cheat?

2. If you answered no to the question above, do you live in a gluten free household? How about a gluten free workplace? Do you shake hands with people who eat gluten? Does the store you buy groceries in a store that sells gluten?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you should know that you have been exposed to gluten.

Matter of fact.

Yes.

Did you know that when you smell, you actually are inhaling the stuff you are smelling? Wild, huh? The molecules are in the air (well, they're actually encapsulated by the water vapor in the air, but let's not get technical, K?). So, as my cousin, when 4 years of knowledge said, so, that means you're actually inhaling someone else's farts?". Yes. That's what it means.

But it also means that you're inhaling gluten simply by being in a gluten-free world. When you inhale something, the "smell" is the first part of digestion. So, with a bit of leap in explanation here, you're actually eating gluten, just by smelling it (and yes, I do get up-close-and-personal with many people's food).

so, doesn't it stand to reason, then, that you're safer eating or drinking something that has been purified of the gluten?

It's a beautiful concept- what the doctors and gluten-free groups obsess about- that you should even buy a separate set of pans JUST FOR GLUTEN FREE- SERIOUSLY!
