I know it’s not the same, but if you don’t have the sensitivity, then obviously you don’t have to eat the same food.

And yes, I agree, most gluten free replacements are kinda bad. Nowhere near as bad as they were 20 years ago, though. Took me months, but I actually did find a gluten free pasta that’s honestly edible and doesn’t ruin the dish with some weird texture or taste I don’t like.

I only tell you this because I too used to think gluten-free is a fad and people are just “imagining” benefits from going gluten-free free.

I’ve had a stomach pain my entire life. No doctor ever suggested going gluten free and I even had a biopsy taken at 18 to see whether it’s celiacs. Either it was a false negative or I have what is known as NCGS, Non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

And it’s genuinely not a joke.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10593161/

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) has been shown to occur in individuals without serological or biopsied evidence of celiac disease (CD), who manifest psychotic ormood disorders that resolve following elimination of gluten. In this case history, we discuss a similar manifestation in a 31-year-old woman without serological evidence of CD, whose psychiatric symptoms improve with gluten elimination.

A 31-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of severe gluten sensitivity, Hashimoto’s disease, mosaic turner’s syndrome, and presumed schizo-affective disorder, bipolar type with multiple inpatient psychiatric involuntary admissions presented to the ED on petition for aggressive behavior by law enforcement. The patient had a week-long break-down at her parents’ home, where she also resides. She reportedly broke several objects and threatened to slit her mother’s throat. On the physical exam, she was malodorous, disheveled, and had long extremely matted hair. Psychiatric evaluation was notable for rambling speech, dysphoric mood, agitation, and irritability. Thought content was disorganized and consisted of grandiose and paranoid persecutory delusions. She was emergently given Haldol for worsening agitation, as she became physically threatening.

And all that goes a way by not ingesting gluten. So you know, which would you rather, a crazy gf and donuts or a friendly gf with some gluten tree donuts which are like sort of okay?

I’m not saying your gf has NCGS but just saying I understand the resentment (id sell my own mother for some proper gluteny carbonara) but going gluten and dairy free (casein, the milk protein, often also caused symptoms with NCGS patients, might want to maybe let your gf know if she’s improved with gluten free but still experiencing some GI symptoms) may have improved her well being so much that I think you should at least try to get over the resentment.

You can always go eat out alone. But if she’s maintaining a strict diet, she prolly shouldn’t go to a single fast food burger place. Some of them offer gluten free buns but they don’t guarantee the meal to be glutenfree as its made in the same kitchen. Also, worth asking if they’re have a separate deep frier for gluten free things if getting fries.

Sorry for the rant. I truly understand the resentment and the hankering for cheesy gluteny goodness, trust me. But I also know how massively the diet can improve life quality (Google “gluten belly” for instance for some insta girls showing the difference). And I know how frustrating it can feel when other people see it as something that’s not "really necessary", instead treating it somewhat like someone not liking pickles in their cheeseburger. (I’m sure you don’t treat her like that, I’m talking about people I know.)

Oh, another square who equates all drugs as being the same.

Guess you’ve never seen God either.

I forgive you. You know not what you do.

No they won’t be.

You’re genuinely just saying “if we allow disinfo, there will be less of it, but WE HAVE TO ACCEPT DISINFORMATION.”

This just as fucking stupid as Americans thinking creationism should be taught “as an alternative”.

No. You don’t allow fucking loonies posting delusions on science boards. Never. Not a one.

“small amount of disinfo should be accepted”

Sun retoriikka o iha liia ryssää käyttäjänimi nähtynä. Ehkä et vaa tiedä et pelaat niide pussiin.

You can’t seriously be going “waa racism against Russians”, for me calling out Matryoshka bullshit?

You guys need stop using the dumbest people, like @Davel@lemmy.ml. If that’s the highest you got it’s utter shit man. Dude’s convinced he’s a convincing American. ZD

Are you pro-Russian? Do you think Russia was breaking international law by invading Ukraine?

If you want a flat earth community, that’s fine, as long as you allow people to call it out as a joke once in a while.

That would be fine, because Flat Earth is a joke and that’s true. It would also be fine to mod it out if they want to have a community of loonies.

But you’re saying you will forcefully make sure that astronomy communities accept flat Earth, medical communities accept antivaxxing and drinking bleach for covid?

Have a think about this again ffs. And do it after you’ve come down from whatever you’ve been smoking.

A user should be able to (respectfully, infrequently) post/comment about a study showing marijuana is a gateway drug to !marijuana without moderation tools being used to censor that content.

So users should also be able to post about Flat Earth and Antivaxxing on science only channels, by that logic.

No thanks.

What absolutely cowardice. There are no “alternate facts”.

Edit *you actually admit you’re going to forced science communities to post flat Earth? Ok gg Lemmy, it wasn’t that good of run anyway but cya. Russians and flathearhers. Star trek memes aren’t worth enough for me to stay.

Easy diagnosis. Take speed. Calms you down? ADHD. Speeds you up? No ADHD.

Sorry but it is not that simple, lol. It does give a hint to things, but it isn’t the end-all be-all.

There add widely varying reasons that people have different [dose-response relationships.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dose–response_relationship

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormesis

If your methodology worked, you’d have diagnosed me to have ADHD with 100% certainty. I always maintained I don’t. Got tested by clinical psychologist and psychiatrist. No ADHD ADD or any other attention disorder.

The dose-response relationship, hermesis in action, is easiest to see with weed, probably. When you go to have a smoke at friend’s house, you don’t smoke often, they do. You smoke a little, you get tired, they start perking up. However if they also smoked a fuckton more, they’d also get tired. Low doses of THC stimulate high ones sedate. Similar with alcohol, which is why youre energetic early and then suddenly pass out. So because you’ve no tolerances like the weeder, the same amount smoked is a light dose for them and heavy for you, you get sedation, they stimulation.

This is essentially what is happening with you and your friends. You’re taking same size lines and due to your personal differences, have different responses to the same dose.

It MAY be a sign yes, but not “easy diagnosis, ADHD 100%”

Oh you mean that unregulated, capitalism gets out of hand and it needs the government to regulate these means of production to maintain fair markets and a working economy?

Gee whiz, if only such a school of thought had a name.

Welcome to capitalism

What about selective presentation of true facts?

Well that’s just manipulating people to believe what you want. Ie “propaganda” more or less. Basically sophistry of a sort

Having a distorted view of reality won’t change reality itself. It will only change your “reality” (insofar that a person’s reality is the things they think / experience / believe in), not the objective one.

it came from my autofill, oh well let’s do a better one @davel@lemmy.ml

Paging davel@lemmy.ml

Disinformation is technically a type of information. Same a misinformation.

Those have both increased, so all types of information have pretty much increased.

There are no “alternative facts”.

Either something is factual or it isn’t.

Facts may sometimes seem to contradict each other, when we don’t have the full picture, but objective reality doesn’t contradict itself.

“To be clear the NYT has no problem with genocide as a concept. They have a problem with the quakers accusing Israel, who don’t like to be seen as genocidal, as committing the genocide they’re committing.”

I fail to see how this makes it better and not worse

Send them cop tanks in. Surely they’ll make sure the fire stops resisting.
