In actuality, a little research would have done you well, Rico. This gluten-free "scam" is actually a medically diagnosed allergy. Just like lactose intolerance. All those milk nay-sayers? Scams as well? People that swell up and nearly die from shellfish? Must be faking it, eh? And nuts? Surely people couldn't actually be allergic to such things?! But on a side note, yes some people choose the diet for personal reasons unrelated to any allergy. They do not have a disease. Do not offend everyone else that is actually afflicted with the disease. Glutenfree girl helped me through my diagnosis 6 months ago, and I have pointed quite a few others in her direction when they found out their sad news. Such warm writing, and tasty recipes!

Gluten-Free girl has been a delightful read for me and I'm not even intolerant (just don't care much for bread). Imagine my surprise to figure out after having read the blog for months that my bread-loving daughter is intolerant. I'm very grateful for the blog and all the work that's been done already. Now if we can get more awareness for corn allergies. It’s easy to deny what someone else is going through.

Can you explain that to my immune system how it's reaction to gluten is only a fad? And while your explaining away my allergy to gluten, I'd appreciate it if you can also address it's (my immune system's) issues with cats, ragweed, and latex... Denial is a wonderful thing. Ah, Rico.

I've always wanted to meet time-travellers. Rico, you and your 'many physicians' have come to 2007 from when? Twenty years ago? I'm sure you're busy familiarizing yourself with current reality but when you're tired of your own nastiness and just want a good, joyful read, may I recommend the gluten-free girl?

Shame on you. I have a daughter who went from a healthy, 22lb one year old to a malnourished, sad 20lb two year old. Once they figured out that she had celiac, and I stopped feeding her gluten, she gained 10 lbs in two months and now is a healthy four and a half year old. And if she even gets one bite of a regular sandwich, she projectile vomits. Somehow, I don't think she's doing it to draw attention to herself. Rico. Shame on you.

To understand what goes through the waiter's mind when he/she is baffled that the person cannot simply pick out the bits and pieces of food they are allergic to, and be empathetic towards the person that just wants to eat like everyone else. People thought the Women's Right's movement and Desegregation decades ago were to draw attention and were fads as well. @Rico:
