Gluten-Free Nazi's

I forgot to mention that I had a conversation with my Gastroenterologist yesterday. I asked him how far I needed to go with this gluten-free diet. He stated that it would be best if I didnt ingest, swallow (sorry hun j/k), intake, or eat anything with gluten. I asked about makeup, sex, lotions, and soap. He stated that there are people who go over the top. The people that need to go over the top are those people are who allergic to wheat the way some people are allergic to peanuts (rash, breathing problems). He siad that Celiac Disease affects the small intestine and it is impossible for your small intestine to absorb something you put on your leg's or arms unless you actually eat the makeup, lotion or soap. So warning people... stop eating your lotion or soap there are bad effects it can have on your body =o) Oh ya... Kissing, Making Love, Having Sex... He stated that if there is gluten transfer it is so minute (unless he has a mouth full of bread) that I shouldnt be effected. I am now learning and understanding what this is all about and feeling alot more confident.

So, this leads me to my new term... "Gluten-Free Nazi" that is what I am deeming the people who go over the edge with anything gluten-free who dont have an allergy like the peanut allergy.
