"I'm celiac" always sounds like you're a space alien or something, but you have a legitimate gripe. Don't give attitude about the dietary choices of customers, bar and restaurant employees!

GF versions of traditionally glutenous items are necessarily made of different ingredients, thus have different textures and flavors. People who have no trouble with gluten may simply prefer the GF version.

My friend is gluten-intolerant and his wife isn't. She doesn't eat gluten. Is she a pretentious hipster? Perhaps, but not for that reason. She's a supportive spouse.

There are many reasons people might seek out, opt for, settle for GF items on a menu. It's not the servers' job to wonder about them. If you must, do so to yourself* and/or on your own time.


*i.e., NOT here

I wonder how many people were gluten intolerant before the term became vouge?

No shit frankieb, most are self diagnosed anyway.

I enjoyed this a lot more before I decoded GF as gluten-free. I thought it might be "girlfriend", as in "might prefer the girlfriend version". That sounded fun!

@9 dumb

Drank too many $12 bottles of highly alcoholic microbrew IPA last night, and every night. OH GEE WHIZ I GUESS I'M CELIAC.
