    I'm that guy LOL..I have celiac disease.

    It irritates me that people choose to not eat wheat or gluten.

    Why the hell would anyone choose that? It's a PITA.
    What's bad is the restaurant industry seems to have been wrongly 'trained' by the .. uhh .. fluffier clientele to believe that a "no wheat" or "gluten free" request means they think it's magically diet food and will make them skinny. So what you get is something CLAIMED to be gluten/wheat free but probably isn't. My youngest has a few food allergies, and I've gotten used to educating the restaurants about how wheat contains more proteins than just gluten, and gluten isn't the protein my kid is allergic to - so I need to be certain that it is in fact wheat free. Wheat isn't the worst (hives), but it sucks when your 3 year old claws his skin until he looks like crime scene. Some restauranteurs are really oblivious though, my boy's most severe allergy is milk/dairy (anaphylaxis), and he'll often still get cheese on his plate. The confused looks on the servers' faces is a little worrisome, but if you walk them through it slowly the light eventually goes on. Steroid creams and Epinephrine on standby just in case.

    I had a co-worker ask "you must really look forward to your cheat day, when you can eat anything you want".

    He looked puzzled when I explained that it doesn't work that way LOL

    Flour is full of insulin spiking carbs so I try to avoid it, but I don't have violent reactions to it like people with legitimate allergies. Maybe that's what your co-worker was thinking with the cheat day thing :laughing:
