My former boss has Celiac disease. He lost so much weight I was alarmed, and when I went to his house, it smelled like cat food. The only foods he could eat smelled so bad.... I just felt terrible for him.
Same thing happened with me and my lactose allergy was fine until I turned 13/14 then my body changed and no lactose hates me, and I know what I'm missing.
I was diagnosed at 25 and I love the facts team but I was annoyed with the comment of "just don't eat bread" like we really haven't figured that out already? I honestly feel like no one willingly decides to give up the best treats like pizza and such.
my kid is a celiac. We got the biopsy results when she was 4. Gluten free products are better than they used to be. Bob's Red Mill brownies are better than Duncan Hines. Udi's bread is the best, reminiscent of Porridge Farms. If you have celiac or are gluten intolerant, it does take some getting used to. The products are different. However if you learn to cook, you can make incredible meals. For the rest of us, avoiding gluten is pointless.
I would feel stupid eating gluten free if I didnt have to. Wondering when the lactose free diet will become a trend too. lol. There are actually a lot more lactose intolerant people than those with celiac.
I'm right there with you. My late-mother-in-law has Celiac's, and my husband is borderline, but has another allergic reaction to wheat (and every other grain related to it) that gives him migraines.
Jemma J but there are people who actually are but only 1% of the population of the world are celiacs and the majority are in Ireland, I happend to be one of them 😅 , its a sad life😂😂
People use it as an excuse , I walked into a restaurant before and asked what's gluten free and the waitress said under her voice " are u actually a celiac " I said yes she said " well everything is cooked in the same oil so it would not be suitable for a celiac but is gluten free " , this is just happening from people being on a gluten free diet and not knowing what a celiac can and cannot eat in certain circumstances
I eat this on a daily so I'm sad I have celiac so I eat gluten free everyday and yes it's dry and yes some of its gross but depending on what you buy it tastes amazing
I'm legit curious about what grizzly asked too. Although I guess it must be nice that those guys have helped bring more diversity in the stuff you could eat.
Alex Wiseman I have a gluten intolerance so I feel you. the bread is usually bad unless it's toasted lightly. the spaghetti I get is way better than regular spaghetti though.
Julianna Petraitis yeah the only way I can tolerate any form of the gluten free bread is if it's toasted. my son who has celiac doesn't seem to mind though which blows my mind. And also some pasta is worse than others when it comes to texture.
I don't think I'll ever watch that one again, it was like, that episode of Family Guy where they all have ipecac. Started out entertaining, then just vomit, so much vomit.
For some people it is a medical thing, but lots of people have turned it into a health trend. Which is actually good for the medical sort since that means more gluten free products, even though they're catering to the food faddies.
The problem is people claiming that they are allergic to gluten when they don't have celiac disease. Other than that disease, there's no such thing as gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance. It has been very explicitly shown through multiple scientific RCTs.
I'm allergic to wheat. I don't have celiac thank goodness, but it still sucks being allergic to wheat. If you toast gluten-free bread or use it for a grilled cheese or garlic bread, it's not that bad.
You can be allergic to it without having celiac's disease. Celiac's has to do with how gluten interacts with your digestive system. Being allergic is totally different, more like being lactose intolerant, which is basically a lactose allergy. It's call Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. It definitely exists.
Sometimes they do that because it tells the consumer that there hasn't been any cross contamination with gluten containing products in their facilities.
Unfortunately, the FDA allows the "gluten free" label even if a product has a few parts-per-million of gluten in it, which is enough to make a celiac sick. So they (we, I am one) really need to research what they're buying (or do the ol' self-guinea pig test and possibly regret it) to know if something is truly gluten free or not.
Hey Facts.! After watching and enjoying so many of your videos you guys have convinced me to come visit Dublin, I hope I see myself wandering unaware in one of your videos that happens outside!
My mom is gluten intolerant and so as a result of that I've started eating more gluten free things as well and honestly once you get used to it it all tastes pretty good to you. Especially if you prefer crunchier things, then gluten free is reallyyy nice. But like if you're gonna eat something with wheat in it and then instantly eat something that's gluten-free, yeah you're gonna enjoy the gluten one more because that's what you've always known and always grown up with. But if for years you haven't even touched any type of food with wheat in it, it'll taste just fine. It's all about finding that one holy brand though for each type of food, because obviously most of them are gonna taste like shit, but when you find that good one, you're set for life man
lol it's a bit silly though because no one is eating gluten-free food for the taste. we eat it out of freakin' necessity lol. I mean I understand this is a taste test, and I love a good taste test but I don't avoid gluten by choice lol. It doesn't like me. It's a bit like having items that are peanut free for people who are allergic to peanuts and comparing them to the foods who have peanuts lol. That being said, I miss bread. In my next life, I want to be able digest all and every food and be really fat and happy
That's why I find the whole "let's make a pretend version of things that have gluten" angle kind of weird; Why not just omit the food entirely, or find other, non-chemical laden, tasty alternatives? My roommate once accidentally bought gluten free soy sauce. It tasted like poison, and ruined everything it touched. So, if I ever at some point develop a gluten allergy, soy sauce is straight-up off the menu.
Roger J Doucet because people like bread lol. so if there IS a way to possibly eat bread without getting sick from the gluten, people want to try and dream lol. that's why. I've personally given up on bread but I understand why others still try for it. btw, I have a gluten free tamari sauce and it's delicious
Roger J Doucet it's not just traditional gluten filled stuff you have to watch out for tho so some substitutes you just have to accept. Soy sauce shouldn't have gluten in it but most big brands use wheat to quicken the fermentation process same with vodka. Btw I was diagnosed celiacs last year and switched to a more whole food type diet; I gave up on the gluten free substitutes as much as I could but sometimes you just want a cookie:/
Rebelwheels NYC Oi don't compare being gluten intolerant to having allergies to peanuts. I have anaphylaxis to peanuts and it's actually life threatening if I eat one peanut. I think gluten only has less pain within the body if intolerant than having anaphylaxis. However gluten can have long term negative impacts
While I understand the point of this video was to show that gluten free food tastes awful, it would have been nice if you could have left a disclaimer about celiac disease or something. We get it our food sucks but we don't need people on the internet to make us feel even worse. I know that I will never be able to eat, drink, or touch gluten again because of my disease but I don't need anyone to just go on about how gross the food is.
ThatAussieGirl, thank you! It's not even just our diets, to be honest. I can't use Bath and Body Works hand sanitizers, because they have wheat germ oil in them. I have to check my toothpaste, lip products, and hand soap. I have to make sure my boyfriend brushes his teeth before kissing me if he'a eaten gluten. It's such a hassle.
with a relative who had a medical intolerance to gluten, I had to educate myself on the matter. since many foods are made with gluten grains substitutes have to be added our omitted entirely in an attempt to make these foods hold together. hence the reason for the bread just crumbling away.
I eat gluten-free because I have a serious wheat allergy (not celiac), and I have found that most of the gluten-free products are not as good as their regular counterparts. I have tried blending my own flours and making my own baked goods. Most of them are pretty good and some of them (especially cookies/biscuits) are better than the food with gluten. Strangely, I have been able to reproduce some pretty good potato farls and soda farls. I guess gluten-free does better on the griddle than in the oven.
We sometimes do gluten-free baking as we've a family member who's celiac, I find the things that have no flour of any kind better, like things with ground almonds.
Curious, what are the symptoms? I’m a little allergic to wheat, but the only thing I seem to notice is it makes me cough or sometimes get more congested. Since I‘m vegetarian, I eat it anyway, but I probably shouldn’t.
It's a occupational illness called "Baker's Asthma." It happened one day. I took a bite of bread, and my mouth rashed out and I couldn't breath hardly at all. Before that, congestion and coughing, accompanied by acid reflux and sometimes mouth sores, occurred when I ate anything with wheat (or barley) in it. I didn't realize these were precursor symptoms before the full-blown allergies. Sorry to be so gross, but you need to see more than just congestion to determine if you're developing Baker's Asthma.
Tip for all gluten free people out there gluten free bread is exspensive and tastless most of the time so just use iceberg lettuce leaves instead of bread you get to tatse the fillings of the sandwich better
we have had 5 celiacs in my family in the past three generations, and a lot more who eat gluten free because even though they know 100% they dont have it, it still effects them. So i would like to say if you really want a nice g.f bread try to find an actual g.f bakery that makes it. that pre frozen stuff is crap, but the nice, looks like regular bread with sun flower seeds g.f bread made fresh that day.. well that shit is really good.
I was not a believer until my husband's eczema cleared up after he cut out all gluten. 2 years after that, his father was diagnosed with Celiac's disease. I've found here, in the US, that anything from the Pamela's Gluten Free brand is pretty awesome. I make cookies with that brand of baking mix and they taste better than gluten cookies. Also, when it comes to pizza, my number 1 go to is Against The Grain frozen pizza. I actually prefer it over any type of pizza(gluten free on with gluten). And a pretty close second in pizza favorites is Bob's Red Mill GF Pizza mix. All GF breads(that I've tried and there's not a huge selection) taste like 50 yr old cardboard that's been wet and then dried. Not good at all. But I'm curious about trying GF bread from Jennifer's Way Bakery in NY. Btw, I'm not a celiac but have chosen to go GF for my husband.
annette fournier it's really not worth it half the time. gluten free food is so expensive too (compared to the gluten based option). it's usually gross.
Celiac here, and VERY happy I live in Oregon. We have a bakery with actually good cupcakes and stuff (the baker was on cupcake wars, and won a record 4 times...against gluten bakers). We have another bakery that makes bread that is tasty. Ok, so I still dream of a good sourdough and flaky croissant, but still. Also, there is a pizza I can get at Costco that is good and not insanely expensive. We have a purple completely gluten free restaurants that are fabulous as well. When I was first diagnosed though, I went and bought bread, tried a bite, and lost cried. It was like yeasty sour sand. Oh, a day Barilla makes a erfectly good pasta. It isn't gluten pasta, but we don't feel deprived eating it and gluten eaters have been fine with it too.
My cousin& my sibs have celiac and have difficulty digesting gluten. My cousin eats a gluten free diet & uses the substitutes. My brother would rather eat grass then eat the substitutes, he will eat a good quality bread rarely and would rather just do without. My sister has basically eliminated all gluten from her diet and has replaced it with Pinot Noir and wintergreen LifeSavers.
I have a severe dairy allergy. A lot of dairy free stuff is also gluten free. Sometimes I can tell, sometimes I can't. Bread I can always taste if it is gluten free.
To answer the guy's first question "How d'ya know?" Answer is simple. When you eat 5+ slices of pizza, are you on the porcelain throne for 4 hours praying for sweet death? No? Then probably not, carry on. Celiac fucking sucks, especially for severe cases. It causes so many weird goddamned symptoms.
UGH YES. It's hell. I was glutened earlier today, and I feel like I'm dying. My skin is breaking out in DH, I'm exhausted and nauseous, my stomach is in knots, and it feels like there's a brick in my intestines. Yay Celiac...
Madison Turner A nice warm/hot shower, something you enjoy on TV or a game, and dark chocolate with hot tea. Whenever I go through an episode, the showers get me feeling alive again, and the chocolate (only dark) makes me feel a lot better, to the tune of about a bar a day. Hot tea just calms my gut and head, something about warmth puts me back in place. I always feel cold after I eat stuff I'm not supposed to. Dairy is almost as bad as gluten, making me all stiff, cold, and with a headache. So if I accidentally eat a lot of gluten, the best thing you can do is just lay down, wrap yourself in a blanket, and pig out on the tea and chocolate. Well, after you're done with the shredding of your insides for 4 hours.
Both my aunt and grandmother are gluten intolerant, and it really pisses me off when we go to a restaurant and they ask to make sure what they're making has no gluten and ask if the chef can change gloves and wash their utensils and the waiters just roll their eyes. And then they get home and get massively sick because none of their requests were taken seriously and everyone assumed they were just trying to be trendy. Like many people don't understand that this is a very serious disease and you can't just write these people off as hipsters or some shit. They get REALLY sick. So get off your high horse and start taking it seriously. Ffs this shouldn't even be an issue...
that's my problem with the whole trendy gluten free diet, I love that there is more demand for gluten free items and more choices for us who are actually diagnosed with gluten intolerance/Celiac. But hipsters and other trendy people ruin it for us too, because people think we are idiots.
Having worked with a person who actually has celiacs disease 14 years ago, people who are gluten free for no reason really annoy me. It's literally not helpful to you at all unless you have an actual wheat allergy or a disease, but it's trendy for some reason. The only upside is there's now more, and better tasting, options for people who actually really need to be gluten free.
Fun fact! In Australia, before us whites came and fucked the native people over, Indigenous Australians were making bread from flour they made with a few native roots. Only recently have they rekindled the practice, and it turns out all these flours are naturally gluten-free. So, they're working with professional bakers to create loaves that are light and flavoursome by mixing flours and altering recipes, in the hopes of making them a norm here (and possibly elsewhere). Anyway, it means we may soon have more varieties of bread, and they'll just happen to be gluten free. So that's good news for people who can't eat wheat. Maybe they'll be able to make a nice pasta alternative, too, who knows.
I went and looked for an article to link you to, and realised I said they were using roots, but it's actually native seeds. Apparently some breads they use wattle seeds for, and I've had wattle seed ice cream which is super tasty, so it ought to be interesting. Anyway, there are a bunch of interesting results if you search aboriginal Australian bread.
gluten free alternatives almost always suck but the one upside to their prevalence especially where i live is that my bff who is celiac can eat wherever we go and not have to use an epipen
I remember being 16, and talking to someone with Coeliacs. When they listed all the things they couldn't eat, I said that line and "I wouldn't be able to survive without bread and cake!" Age 21, BAM! I have Coeliacs. I caution anyone from saying those words, as Fate is a sadistic b***h.
Gluten-free shopping is tricky if you haven't been gluten-free long. It takes a lot of trial and error to figure out which items are decent storebought, and which ones you definitely have to make yourself. Some brands are awesome for bread, but atrocious for cookies, and another brand may make awful bread and the best cookies. You basically have to try one of everything to see which brand and product combinations actually work.
It depends on the brand but most of all it depends on how much gluten you consume normally. The more gluten you consume the more cardboardy/bad gluten free stuff tastes.
amaterashu23 Yeah, because youll have no frame of reference to what good food actually tastes like if all you eat is gluten-free. Its a bunch of hipster bullshit.
Lizzy xo Nadia is our resident facts guru, she has inside information, she's friends with some of them online, they even gave her a shout out in some of the videos, but she surprises me sometimes with her knowledge
We actually have gluten free crust at the pizza place I work at and it's not half bad. It's made with rice flour. It's almost like a potato bread. It's a bit chewier than our regular thin crust but I wouldn't say it's awful.
Aldi make some really nice gluten free buns and cakes, for anyone whose coeliac or intolerant. my uncle and cousin are coeliacs so my aunt makes gluten free breads from scratch, the only difference I would say is the texture.
Anyone looking for really good gluten free pizza (safe for celiacs like myself) can try "Against The Grain Gourmet". That brand has, from the many pizzas I've tried, the best gluten free pizza. Also the best frozen pizza I've tried, better than many of the freshly made pizzas I ate before getting celiac.
I once made a perfect grilled cheese sandwich, then I found out the bread was gluten free. I still remember that sandwich, the hope's I had for it's perfectly browned, yet not burned bread, the melted, yet still slightly solid cheese, it looked like the best sandwich I had ever made, then I took one bite, and the bread destroyed my hope in everything. No amount of butter could save that sandwich, nor any amount of tomato soup could mask the flavor of the bread. I may never make a sandwich as good as I made that one, but I can still dream about a day when I finally create the truly perfect grilled cheese sandwich. (I knew it was gluten free from the start, but I didn't think anything of that when I started cooking, because I was naive in thinking gluten free would taste similar to gluten)
Corn is umm corn so it doesn't have gluten in it. It just cost five times the price. Gluten free bread is always awful. But cakes, cookies turn out the same.
Emily Altemus corn is a grain. corn contains "corn gluten" there have been studies that show it can affect celiacs. www.glutenfreesociety.org/hidden-corn-based-ingredients/
I don't have celiac disease (thank goodness) but I recently got tested and diagnosed with hypothyroidism, meaning that it's better for my body if I avoid gluten since it doesn't let my body absorb the thyroid hormones it's making. Though since I'm not intolerant, just sensitive, I do occasionally sneak in a little something something here and there lol
I've got the dumb celiac disease to the point my intestines are bleeding and tearing up. This test meant a lot to me because there really is a difference. To those people who choose to eat that cramp. I ask why. If I didn't have to, I wouldn't touch it with a thirty foot pole. I found that factory made gluten free items other than the basics, (oats, flour, cereal, etc) are great. But things like mac and cheese, or even just the pastas themselves are disgusting. I make most of my foods by hand. All you have to do is take a great recipe and substitute gluten for non gluten. Fried chicken, sugar cookies. Last year I was able to do my entire Thanksgiving gluten free. It just takes three times as long. So believe me when I say this, I don't enjoy any of those things either. Thanks for this taste test 😊
Yeah, gluten tastes better because it holds moisture in whatever it's baked into. But I'll stick to my discipline and stay gluten free, casein free because I want my thyroid to heal and to stop feeling exhausted and foggy no matter how much i've slept. There's really no compromise here, it sucks, and people will tell you they're gluten free because it's a struggle that is always on their minds, NOT because it's a superior diet or fun.
it sounds like your saying gluten is bad for your health''exhausted and foggy no matter how much i've slept''do you know that gluten makes you tired are you gluten intolerant what do you mean gluten is your ''dicisiplin''
Jennifer Bashore I'm sorry to break it to you, but unless you have celiac disease, there is absolutely no reason to avoid gluten. A study from Harvard- and I trust Harvard more than any celebrity endorsement or hipster anecdote- says that unless you are biologically sensitive to gluten, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN WHETHER YOU EAT IT OR NOT. It doesn't impact your thyroid, affect how well you think, nothing. It's just a protein that you're paying extra to avoid for no reason.
Xin Guan Gluten sensitivity and thyroid problems are chemically linked. Feel free to click on any of the links to scientific studies she cites in this article; hypothyroidmom.com/12-shocking-symptoms-of-gluten-sensitivity/
bob tom Hypothyroidism makes me exhausted and foggy. Gluten sensitivity destroyed by thyroid. Things are getting better as long as I give up gluten.... and eating what I used to enjoy.... and eating out in the restaurants I want to experience.... and spending hours a week baking my own substitutes. That's what i mean by discipline.
Doesn't really help your argument when the site you cited does the same thing as every other pseudo-science publication does, misrepresent the data. In the article they cherry pick individual studies, and then conclude that as scientific fact. That's not how science works, there has to be a consensus on the subject before it can be regarded as scientific fact, a single study isn't enough, which they do several times in the linked article. It's like the anti-vaccination people who will link you to a couple of studies that suggest vaccination causes autism, all the while ignoring the mountains of studies that show the exact opposite.
5 secs in and there's a joke. I have Celiac and it always bites when people joke about it. We don't have a choice. We have to eat these things to survive.
Part of the "1%" with Celiac disease. Feel my daily suffering haha XD To be fair though I'm really glad that more and more people eat glutenfree nowadays because a higher demand leads to more and usually better products over time. Which... is good for people like me. Idk why people without celiac give a crap about what other people eat. Don't they have like... y'know... better shit to do? :O
Agreed. I don't think you should eliminate gluten just because you want to be skinner or be part of a fad. When you are doubled over in pain because of stomach issues from gluten and are breaking out in hives...remove gluten from your diet. When you get past the cleansing it out of your system gluten free products aren't that bad. Remembering the pain helps keep the cravings away.
What's sad is that I know people who have horrible digestive issues from gluten and for them there is no choice. I feel very sorry for my friends because I know that food just doesn't taste the same. Some pretenders just say "I'm gluten free" to sound pretentious, which makes it difficult for the ones that really have an issue.
I have Celiac and Dairy Intolerance my food tastes nice... the bread is a bit dry but I like it... and I have eaten 'normal' food for years so I know 'good' food ;)
The reason the corn flakes tasted very similar is that they are both gluten free....... Corn contains a relative of gluten that is perfectly safe to eat even for most people with REAL gluten intolerance. If you are suffering from the self diagnosed version that is fashionable at the moment just buy a stamp that reads gluten free and stamp it on everything. You will not feel any difference. This is what they did the the "gluten free" corn flakes btw, well that and charge you twice the price.
***** It depends on the amount. A few manufacturers of gluten free products has had to remove them due to "confusion" caused by mady-up online "science." It is of course possible that there is a brand that has a lot of gluten but I would not worry too much about what Dr RUclips has to say. If you suffer from Celiac there are real websites with actual medical science
Corn flakes are not generally gluten free. just because corn is the main ingredient means absolutely nothing. barely malt (or barely or malt) are important to look out for as well as many other ingredients. they contain gluten and can make those with celiac very sick (been there, done that). we must read every ingredient on every package. there have been great strides in the last decade with gluten free food and with labeling. also, we must consider the possibility of cross contamination. if the factory or food preparation area are also used for foods containing gluten, there is a high chance of contamination of the gluten free food, meaning we can't eat it. the official amount of gluten allowed in a sample to be considered gluten free is equal to or less than 20 ppm (parts per million), which is basically none at all. anything over this cannot be labeled gluten free. I hope that helps 😊
Totally false. Almost all commercial corn flakes in the Western world contain malt, which is why gluten-free corn flakes are sold separately. Gluten-free varieties contain extra sweeteners to help compensate for the loss of taste. It's similar to oats -- in theory, they should be gluten-free because they contain avenin instead of gluten, but there are only four major producers in the entire world who don't mill their oats with wheat.
So it's not bad ey haha I don't understand people who don't eat gluten when they aren't even intolerant? It's not healthier it's just harder to eat foods, being gluten intolerant sucks haha Edit: Although...thank you hipsters for giving us more food options :D
Kaede There is no such thing as Gluten Intolerant. That's fake. There is however celiac disease. That's real. If someone tells you they are intolerant or have gluten sensitivity they are straight up lying and just using it as a fad. (Been made into one.)
No if you eat gluten and you feel sick afterwards and I mean extremely not discomfort or gas or any of that sort like people get when they are lactose intolerant, then you have celiac disease. There is no such thing as gluten intolerant, that does not exist. You either have celiac disease or you don't, there is no in between.But at the end of the day, people will believe whatever they want to believe.
I owned a GF bakery and retail store for 6 years here in Canada with my dad, before he retired. We won several awards against competitors who had gluten based bakeries. Plus, any event we attended (or still attend) unless we pointed out our food was gf, no one knew the flours or products we used were not wheat, rye or barley flour based. I feel like the selection provided was no where near to what gluten free food should be. You shouldn't be able to smell a product, or even look at it, and know that it is made from different base ingredients. I wonder if some of these products came with other changes to the standard recipe. I.E. if you gave a milk chocolate chip gluten filled cookie and a chocolate chip vegan gluten free cookie it would be vastly different of the hop. As a cookie with butter, milk chocolate chips and egg regardless of flour used will taste different. It isn't the fairest comparison. Gluten free food is still regular food. People eat flours and products made from quinoa, rice, amaranth, oats, arrowroot, buckwheat, millet, sorghum, soy, corn, potato, teff, chia, nuts, beans, flax, and more daily and internationally. Other than that, I enjoy all your videos very much and thanks for making them for us all! -XO
Aidan Walker many cereals are made in an environment where cross contamination can occur. so GF oats and cornflakes and Rice crispies were just made in an environment where they couldn't have been contaminated with gluten. coeliac disease is real sensitive.

Hahaha as someone who has been diagnosed with celiac disease for MANY years, you gave them shit all products. Where the Udi's, Glutino, Amy's, and Pamela's products? Now those are the good name brands!!! Because yeah if you just get the random GF foods off the shelves, a lot of them taste like utter shit.
But some cornflake cereal has barley malt added for flavor or are produced alongside gluten containing cereals. That's why gluten free cornflakes exist.
It's not just Celiacs who react to gluten. The fructose molecules (fructans) that's attached to gluten can cause problems for people with IBS. So it's not the gluten directly but the fructans. Fructans are also in onions, garlic, artichockes, asparagus, leeks, and agave (tequila). If you have stomach problems and any of these food bother you, look up the FODMAP diet. Eating gluten-free can suck but so does having diarrhea for hours.
Really good gluten free food is just as tasty as gluten food. If gluten free bread is dry it's because they didn't use the right type of flour mix. Unlike white or wheat bread which is generally made with one type of flour, gluten free breads, pastas, pastries, ect... are made with a mixture of different flours. So if someone doesn't use a proper mix, gluten free products can come out dry and crumbly. Like all food you got your good and your bad. The important thing is that you should enjoy what you're eating. :)
I mean, if this is how the gluten-free food is in America... the companies that make the food has got to up their game. Where I'm from, the food with gluten and the food without almost always taste just as great as the other. Sometimes, the gluten free food even tastes better. Loved the video :)
Gluten-free bread is one of those things that is PHENOMENALLY difficult to get right. You pretty much need a home baker who does nothing but GF baking and has the perfect flour blend and technique. It can be done, but yeah, there was no way these guys were going to be given good GF bread. The cookie was a very long shot as well. I can make GF breads, cookies, cakes, etc. that are indistinguishable from the genuine gluten-containing article in both flavor and texture, but I've been doing it for years and it's way more expensive and so much more involved. But, now these guys know what a lot of people do actually have to deal with on a daily basis, when they have CD or a grain allergy and can't do all their own baking. Welcome to the world of mass-produced GF foods! Believe it or not, this is better than how it used to be. .___.
My aunt has celiac disease and has to have everything gluten free. I made sure that at my wedding we had a gluten free pizza, cup cake and candy for her. yes it doesn't taste as good and its a bit dry but at least shes not in the hospital.
To be fair I don't think anyone sane eats gluten free unless they HAVE to due to Celiac (I've got Celiac myself). And the food options now are seriously improved from even just 5 years ago.
I mean, if you have the choice, it´s easier to stick to the regular stuff anyways. But (other than the people who just heard it´s bad for you, which is bullshit) theres people who have a serios intolerance. My girlfriend gets really bad stomachaches and her skin and eyes go nuts if she´s even just exposed to flour dust in the air, so I´m pretty happy that this stuff exists and prevents her from practically dying.
I know how gluten free food sucks, my ex was gluten intolerant. But the best solution is to just make your own gluten free bread and pizza dough for example, taste much better then pre fab food.
John knows where it's at with the pizza. Gluten free pizza is pretty good! The bread on the other hand...if you have the money and aren't a poor student (like me), then getting nice bread is a doddle. I hoard bread that I bought on special in my freezer, or go without. It's seriously not worth wafting the crap bread (or gluten).
As with anything, it's best to enjoy your gluten/gluten free food items in moderation. Eat smart, see your doctor regularly and have blood tests done. It could save you some hassle later on.
I have an aunt who can't eat anything with gluten, she kept getting really sick and nobody could figure out why till she finally found out that she has celiacs disease and can't eat gluten. Her kids also have huge food allergies so that sucks as well 😢
I like how John is basically just happy to eat.
The complete antithesis of Ryan. But I appreciate Ryan's curmudgeon ways - in stark contrast to everyone else!
Ashley W Right?! It's like you can tell that he mostly prefers the regular gluten stuff but is still just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
pinkysworn I like how he gave credit to the cookie. Like, "hey it's edible. Point!"
Ashley W , his from the north side of Dublin we eat what's put in front of us
Well, it's hard to do that whenever you're allergic to a lot of foods
I have Celiac Disease. I can guarantee you, I avoid gluten like the plague.
Yes, the bread is crappy. I just toast it. Rice noodles are pretty decent.
Luci Paradise if you put really good jam on toast it tastes heavenly
My former boss has Celiac disease. He lost so much weight I was alarmed, and when I went to his house, it smelled like cat food. The only foods he could eat smelled so bad.... I just felt terrible for him.
rice noodles.....never gets old, rice is probably my favorite dish when mixed with chicken!
Luci Paradise If you live in the US, you can try Udi's bread from Trader Joe's. It is the most palatable gluten-free bread I've come across and Barilla© gets the gluten-free pasta texture and flavour right.
You're right about both of those. The bread is so heavy though. On the bright side, if it dries out, it would make a great sanding stone.
now you know our pain! now imagine having grown up with gluten and bam! celiac disease! it would have been kinder to not know what im missing.
Cindy Whitney I didn't eat bread for a whole year after being diagnosed
Same thing happened with me and my lactose allergy was fine until I turned 13/14 then my body changed and no lactose hates me, and I know what I'm missing.
Im 16 and just found out I have celiac my life now sucks
Same. Gluten intolerance and allergy to potato/sweet potato. I feel ill after eating like all the time ahha
I was diagnosed at 25 and I love the facts team but I was annoyed with the comment of "just don't eat bread" like we really haven't figured that out already? I honestly feel like no one willingly decides to give up the best treats like pizza and such.
my kid is a celiac. We got the biopsy results when she was 4. Gluten free products are better than they used to be. Bob's Red Mill brownies are better than Duncan Hines. Udi's bread is the best, reminiscent of Porridge Farms. If you have celiac or are gluten intolerant, it does take some getting used to. The products are different. However if you learn to cook, you can make incredible meals.
For the rest of us, avoiding gluten is pointless.
Christine Sanderson bobs red mill is great! I totally agree!
I would feel stupid eating gluten free if I didnt have to. Wondering when the lactose free diet will become a trend too. lol. There are actually a lot more lactose intolerant people than those with celiac.
I'm right there with you. My late-mother-in-law has Celiac's, and my husband is borderline, but has another allergic reaction to wheat (and every other grain related to it) that gives him migraines.
Udi's can be iffy. I can't eat it, but maybe some people can..
many ppl arent really gluten intolerant. i remember watching documentary on that... ppl just think they are, without even being tested...
Pretty much every Hollywood celebrity says that they are gluten free. It's trendy these days.
Jemma J but there are people who actually are but only 1% of the population of the world are celiacs and the majority are in Ireland, I happend to be one of them 😅 , its a sad life😂😂
Ben Sheriff There is hope. Tequila is gluten free.
😅 true
People use it as an excuse , I walked into a restaurant before and asked what's gluten free and the waitress said under her voice " are u actually a celiac " I said yes she said " well everything is cooked in the same oil so it would not be suitable for a celiac but is gluten free " , this is just happening from people being on a gluten free diet
and not knowing what a celiac can and cannot eat in certain circumstances
I eat this on a daily so I'm sad I have celiac so I eat gluten free everyday and yes it's dry and yes some of its gross but depending on what you buy it tastes amazing
Having celiac, what do you think every time some hipster says that they are gluten free?
I'm legit curious about what grizzly asked too. Although I guess it must be nice that those guys have helped bring more diversity in the stuff you could eat.
Alex Wiseman I have a gluten intolerance so I feel you. the bread is usually bad unless it's toasted lightly. the spaghetti I get is way better than regular spaghetti though.
NuclearGrizzly with hipsters it's a choice to be gluten free I don't really care but other people might
Julianna Petraitis yeah the only way I can tolerate any form of the gluten free bread is if it's toasted. my son who has celiac doesn't seem to mind though which blows my mind. And also some pasta is worse than others when it comes to texture.
Glad to see Mr. Sharpson is sober, that prairie oyster was not nice! Lol
KazamaFury Exactly what I thought hahaha
I don't think I'll ever watch that one again, it was like, that episode of Family Guy where they all have ipecac. Started out entertaining, then just vomit, so much vomit.
KazamaFury . My video switched while I was commenting, too. I hate that.
It seriously bothers me that people thing being gluten-free is some sort of health trend rather than a medical diet
For some people it is a medical thing, but lots of people have turned it into a health trend. Which is actually good for the medical sort since that means more gluten free products, even though they're catering to the food faddies.
ECL28E THANK YOU!!!
The problem is people claiming that they are allergic to gluten when they don't have celiac disease. Other than that disease, there's no such thing as gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance. It has been very explicitly shown through multiple scientific RCTs.
I'm allergic to wheat. I don't have celiac thank goodness, but it still sucks being allergic to wheat. If you toast gluten-free bread or use it for a grilled cheese or garlic bread, it's not that bad.
You can be allergic to it without having celiac's disease. Celiac's has to do with how gluten interacts with your digestive system. Being allergic is totally different, more like being lactose intolerant, which is basically a lactose allergy. It's call Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. It definitely exists.
Always happy to see hunky Paddy in the videos :)
"Stick to gluten and you'll live a happier life"
NOT if you have celiacs, trust me 😂
Glad to see John and Nicole feeling better after that hangover cure nightmare lol
Nadia Mohamed I know, I'm just saying this one seemed much more pleasant
I love the fact that here in the States companies are just slapping that "Gluten Free" logo on a products that were already Gluten Free to begin with.
Sometimes they do that because it tells the consumer that there hasn't been any cross contamination with gluten containing products in their facilities.
Unfortunately, the FDA allows the "gluten free" label even if a product has a few parts-per-million of gluten in it, which is enough to make a celiac sick. So they (we, I am one) really need to research what they're buying (or do the ol' self-guinea pig test and possibly regret it) to know if something is truly gluten free or not.
Flour is used in things you wouldn't expect, like meat marinades for thickening (like a roux) which is why you see things like gluten-free beef jerky.
"if you are gluten intolerant just don't eat bread" That's like telling Paula Dean she can't have butter.
Hey Facts.! After watching and enjoying so many of your videos you guys have convinced me to come visit Dublin, I hope I see myself wandering unaware in one of your videos that happens outside!
Still waiting for abstract art
Adzze E They've mentioned it so hopefully Sean will get his wish
wtf is everyones obsession with abstract art
Biased Cowboys Fan Sean M has been asking for it forever, so it's basically an inside joke for the regular commenters.
pinkysworn oh okay lol
i despise seeing that comment. i wish i could block that fool so i couldnt see his comment
I'm obsessed with that silver fox
Love how the bread just falls apart at 1:00 😂
I just love how generally agreeable that john guy is.
Now y'all know my pain, celiac disease SUCKS
My mom is gluten intolerant and so as a result of that I've started eating more gluten free things as well and honestly once you get used to it it all tastes pretty good to you. Especially if you prefer crunchier things, then gluten free is reallyyy nice. But like if you're gonna eat something with wheat in it and then instantly eat something that's gluten-free, yeah you're gonna enjoy the gluten one more because that's what you've always known and always grown up with. But if for years you haven't even touched any type of food with wheat in it, it'll taste just fine. It's all about finding that one holy brand though for each type of food, because obviously most of them are gonna taste like shit, but when you find that good one, you're set for life man
lol it's a bit silly though because no one is eating gluten-free food for the taste. we eat it out of freakin' necessity lol. I mean I understand this is a taste test, and I love a good taste test but I don't avoid gluten by choice lol. It doesn't like me. It's a bit like having items that are peanut free for people who are allergic to peanuts and comparing them to the foods who have peanuts lol.
That being said, I miss bread. In my next life, I want to be able digest all and every food and be really fat and happy
That's why I find the whole "let's make a pretend version of things that have gluten" angle kind of weird; Why not just omit the food entirely, or find other, non-chemical laden, tasty alternatives?
My roommate once accidentally bought gluten free soy sauce. It tasted like poison, and ruined everything it touched. So, if I ever at some point develop a gluten allergy, soy sauce is straight-up off the menu.
Roger J Doucet
because people like bread lol. so if there IS a way to possibly eat bread without getting sick from the gluten, people want to try and dream lol. that's why.
I've personally given up on bread but I understand why others still try for it.
btw, I have a gluten free tamari sauce and it's delicious
Roger J Doucet it's not just traditional gluten filled stuff you have to watch out for tho so some substitutes you just have to accept. Soy sauce shouldn't have gluten in it but most big brands use wheat to quicken the fermentation process same with vodka. Btw I was diagnosed celiacs last year and switched to a more whole food type diet; I gave up on the gluten free substitutes as much as I could but sometimes you just want a cookie:/
Rebelwheels NYC Oi don't compare being gluten intolerant to having allergies to peanuts. I have anaphylaxis to peanuts and it's actually life threatening if I eat one peanut. I think gluten only has less pain within the body if intolerant than having anaphylaxis. However gluten can have long term negative impacts
Alana Thomson
That is a fair point.
It's not a Facts. video unless John puts on some kind of American accent.
And how we love when he does! ;-)
The one with red lipstick is beautiful.
Nadia Mohamed now you're just starting to show off ;) jk it helped me out a lot in the beginning
Nadia Mohamed is that her name?
Michiel van der Gaag i just looked her up and she is pretty but the make up is thick.
But for people that really get sick because their body just can't seem to handle it, it's really nice that there are so many products made these days.
While I understand the point of this video was to show that gluten free food tastes awful, it would have been nice if you could have left a disclaimer about celiac disease or something. We get it our food sucks but we don't need people on the internet to make us feel even worse. I know that I will never be able to eat, drink, or touch gluten again because of my disease but I don't need anyone to just go on about how gross the food is.
Paige M people really get offended for nothing nowadays smh
ThatAussieGirl, thank you! It's not even just our diets, to be honest. I can't use Bath and Body Works hand sanitizers, because they have wheat germ oil in them. I have to check my toothpaste, lip products, and hand soap. I have to make sure my boyfriend brushes his teeth before kissing me if he'a eaten gluten. It's such a hassle.
with a relative who had a medical intolerance to gluten, I had to educate myself on the matter. since many foods are made with gluten grains substitutes have to be added our omitted entirely in an attempt to make these foods hold together. hence the reason for the bread just crumbling away.
I eat gluten-free because I have a serious wheat allergy (not celiac), and I have found that most of the gluten-free products are not as good as their regular counterparts. I have tried blending my own flours and making my own baked goods. Most of them are pretty good and some of them (especially cookies/biscuits) are better than the food with gluten. Strangely, I have been able to reproduce some pretty good potato farls and soda farls. I guess gluten-free does better on the griddle than in the oven.
We sometimes do gluten-free baking as we've a family member who's celiac, I find the things that have no flour of any kind better, like things with ground almonds.
I've found King Arthur gluten-free flour is pretty good. You can also google an equivalent King Arthur blend recipe.
Curious, what are the symptoms? I’m a little allergic to wheat, but the only thing I seem to notice is it makes me cough or sometimes get more congested. Since I‘m vegetarian, I eat it anyway, but I probably shouldn’t.
It's a occupational illness called "Baker's Asthma." It happened one day. I took a bite of bread, and my mouth rashed out and I couldn't breath hardly at all. Before that, congestion and coughing, accompanied by acid reflux and sometimes mouth sores, occurred when I ate anything with wheat (or barley) in it. I didn't realize these were precursor symptoms before the full-blown allergies. Sorry to be so gross, but you need to see more than just congestion to determine if you're developing Baker's Asthma.
You have an allergy just to wheat itself, meaning not gluten, but other proteins only found in wheat?
Tip for all gluten free people out there gluten free bread is exspensive and tastless most of the time so just use iceberg lettuce leaves instead of bread you get to tatse the fillings of the sandwich better
we have had 5 celiacs in my family in the past three generations, and a lot more who eat gluten free because even though they know 100% they dont have it, it still effects them. So i would like to say if you really want a nice g.f bread try to find an actual g.f bakery that makes it. that pre frozen stuff is crap, but the nice, looks like regular bread with sun flower seeds g.f bread made fresh that day.. well that shit is really good.
It's still pretty dry and crumbly though unfortunately.
ragana and broo the only GF bread I've ever enjoyed has been one I made with my own flour mix
I was not a believer until my husband's eczema cleared up after he cut out all gluten. 2 years after that, his father was diagnosed with Celiac's disease. I've found here, in the US, that anything from the Pamela's Gluten Free brand is pretty awesome. I make cookies with that brand of baking mix and they taste better than gluten cookies. Also, when it comes to pizza, my number 1 go to is Against The Grain frozen pizza. I actually prefer it over any type of pizza(gluten free on with gluten). And a pretty close second in pizza favorites is Bob's Red Mill GF Pizza mix. All GF breads(that I've tried and there's not a huge selection) taste like 50 yr old cardboard that's been wet and then dried. Not good at all. But I'm curious about trying GF bread from Jennifer's Way Bakery in NY. Btw, I'm not a celiac but have chosen to go GF for my husband.
it's nice that gluten sensitive people now have convenient options.
It's too bad they taste like stale versions of regular food. :/
True. However pain is a powerful motivator to diet changes. And sometimes you just need a chocolate cookie.😎
Seriously, my stomach is the first thing I'm getting replaced when we all start becoming cyborgs.
annette fournier it's really not worth it half the time. gluten free food is so expensive too (compared to the gluten based option). it's usually gross.
Limited options, not too convenient. Higher prices, and mostly taste nothing like their gluten counterparts.
Celiac here, and VERY happy I live in Oregon. We have a bakery with actually good cupcakes and stuff (the baker was on cupcake wars, and won a record 4 times...against gluten bakers). We have another bakery that makes bread that is tasty. Ok, so I still dream of a good sourdough and flaky croissant, but still. Also, there is a pizza I can get at Costco that is good and not insanely expensive. We have a purple completely gluten free restaurants that are fabulous as well. When I was first diagnosed though, I went and bought bread, tried a bite, and lost cried. It was like yeasty sour sand. Oh, a day Barilla makes a erfectly good pasta. It isn't gluten pasta, but we don't feel deprived eating it and gluten eaters have been fine with it too.
"A gluten free world is a world I don't want to live in" ouch 😂😂😂
I couldn't agree more, and I have celiac disease!
My cousin& my sibs have celiac and have difficulty digesting gluten. My cousin eats a gluten free diet & uses the substitutes. My brother would rather eat grass then eat the substitutes, he will eat a good quality bread rarely and would rather just do without. My sister has basically eliminated all gluten from her diet and has replaced it with Pinot Noir and wintergreen LifeSavers.
00:11 Thought she was pouring bleach into her bowl.
that would've been so confusing😂😂
Annmarie Bartholomew i guess its gluten free
So did I, hopefully wherever they sell that milk, they make the bleach bottles different...kids could mess that up
I have a severe dairy allergy. A lot of dairy free stuff is also gluten free. Sometimes I can tell, sometimes I can't. Bread I can always taste if it is gluten free.
To answer the guy's first question "How d'ya know?" Answer is simple. When you eat 5+ slices of pizza, are you on the porcelain throne for 4 hours praying for sweet death? No? Then probably not, carry on. Celiac fucking sucks, especially for severe cases. It causes so many weird goddamned symptoms.
UGH YES. It's hell. I was glutened earlier today, and I feel like I'm dying. My skin is breaking out in DH, I'm exhausted and nauseous, my stomach is in knots, and it feels like there's a brick in my intestines.
Yay Celiac...
Madison Turner A nice warm/hot shower, something you enjoy on TV or a game, and dark chocolate with hot tea. Whenever I go through an episode, the showers get me feeling alive again, and the chocolate (only dark) makes me feel a lot better, to the tune of about a bar a day. Hot tea just calms my gut and head, something about warmth puts me back in place. I always feel cold after I eat stuff I'm not supposed to. Dairy is almost as bad as gluten, making me all stiff, cold, and with a headache. So if I accidentally eat a lot of gluten, the best thing you can do is just lay down, wrap yourself in a blanket, and pig out on the tea and chocolate. Well, after you're done with the shredding of your insides for 4 hours.
I think John just loves any food he's given
Both my aunt and grandmother are gluten intolerant, and it really pisses me off when we go to a restaurant and they ask to make sure what they're making has no gluten and ask if the chef can change gloves and wash their utensils and the waiters just roll their eyes. And then they get home and get massively sick because none of their requests were taken seriously and everyone assumed they were just trying to be trendy. Like many people don't understand that this is a very serious disease and you can't just write these people off as hipsters or some shit. They get REALLY sick. So get off your high horse and start taking it seriously. Ffs this shouldn't even be an issue...
that's my problem with the whole trendy gluten free diet, I love that there is more demand for gluten free items and more choices for us who are actually diagnosed with gluten intolerance/Celiac. But hipsters and other trendy people ruin it for us too, because people think we are idiots.
Having worked with a person who actually has celiacs disease 14 years ago, people who are gluten free for no reason really annoy me. It's literally not helpful to you at all unless you have an actual wheat allergy or a disease, but it's trendy for some reason. The only upside is there's now more, and better tasting, options for people who actually really need to be gluten free.
Fun fact! In Australia, before us whites came and fucked the native people over, Indigenous Australians were making bread from flour they made with a few native roots. Only recently have they rekindled the practice, and it turns out all these flours are naturally gluten-free. So, they're working with professional bakers to create loaves that are light and flavoursome by mixing flours and altering recipes, in the hopes of making them a norm here (and possibly elsewhere). Anyway, it means we may soon have more varieties of bread, and they'll just happen to be gluten free. So that's good news for people who can't eat wheat. Maybe they'll be able to make a nice pasta alternative, too, who knows.
Really? That's actually really fascinating to know.
I went and looked for an article to link you to, and realised I said they were using roots, but it's actually native seeds. Apparently some breads they use wattle seeds for, and I've had wattle seed ice cream which is super tasty, so it ought to be interesting. Anyway, there are a bunch of interesting results if you search aboriginal Australian bread.
Miss Communication Actually, I think I will look it up. Very interesting. Thanks for the info.
"The secret ingredient is dust" :D
I'm celiac and this video kinda mad me sad... I swear there are good gluten free foods out there!
gluten free alternatives almost always suck but the one upside to their prevalence especially where i live is that my bff who is celiac can eat wherever we go and not have to use an epipen
A Gluten free world is a world I don't wanna live in 😂
I remember being 16, and talking to someone with Coeliacs. When they listed all the things they couldn't eat, I said that line and "I wouldn't be able to survive without bread and cake!" Age 21, BAM! I have Coeliacs. I caution anyone from saying those words, as Fate is a sadistic b***h.
Gluten-free shopping is tricky if you haven't been gluten-free long. It takes a lot of trial and error to figure out which items are decent storebought, and which ones you definitely have to make yourself. Some brands are awesome for bread, but atrocious for cookies, and another brand may make awful bread and the best cookies. You basically have to try one of everything to see which brand and product combinations actually work.
GMM had the opposite results, I guess it really depends on the brand
It may be US products versus Europe...
They didn't show us the brands... how do you know they picked the wrong ones?
It depends on the brand but most of all it depends on how much gluten you consume normally. The more gluten you consume the more cardboardy/bad gluten free stuff tastes.
amaterashu23 Yeah, because youll have no frame of reference to what good food actually tastes like if all you eat is gluten-free. Its a bunch of hipster bullshit.
"That's good bread. I love bread." Me too... me too.
A Joyce Carbaholics unite!
Rum, tequila and potato vodka are all gluten free. Live healthy. :-)
Anything that is distilled is gluten free. Whiskey, which is basically wine made from wheat and then distilled is gluten free.
Absolutely love you guys!
For the longest time, I've been trying to tell if Paddy's hair is naturally white, or if he dyes it. He looks really young (and hot) either way.
Nadia Mohamed how the fuck do you know all these things haha
jelmor11 he looks like a targaryen his eyes are almost purple too lol
stephen white I was wondering the same thing
Lizzy xo Nadia is our resident facts guru, she has inside information, she's friends with some of them online, they even gave her a shout out in some of the videos, but she surprises me sometimes with her knowledge
We actually have gluten free crust at the pizza place I work at and it's not half bad. It's made with rice flour. It's almost like a potato bread. It's a bit chewier than our regular thin crust but I wouldn't say it's awful.
as someone from mainland europe: that is not "good bread". thats toast.
Aldi make some really nice gluten free buns and cakes, for anyone whose coeliac or intolerant. my uncle and cousin are coeliacs so my aunt makes gluten free breads from scratch, the only difference I would say is the texture.
my mom has celiac disease, why anyone would willingly eat gluten free is beyond me. most of it tastes like crap unfortunately.
Anyone looking for really good gluten free pizza (safe for celiacs like myself) can try "Against The Grain Gourmet". That brand has, from the many pizzas I've tried, the best gluten free pizza. Also the best frozen pizza I've tried, better than many of the freshly made pizzas I ate before getting celiac.
WHO ELSE HAS CELIAC
klaudia~ me
Holla at me boi ;D Celiac club unite lol
😂👍
meeee
klaudia~ 😭 me....
I once made a perfect grilled cheese sandwich, then I found out the bread was gluten free. I still remember that sandwich, the hope's I had for it's perfectly browned, yet not burned bread, the melted, yet still slightly solid cheese, it looked like the best sandwich I had ever made, then I took one bite, and the bread destroyed my hope in everything. No amount of butter could save that sandwich, nor any amount of tomato soup could mask the flavor of the bread. I may never make a sandwich as good as I made that one, but I can still dream about a day when I finally create the truly perfect grilled cheese sandwich. (I knew it was gluten free from the start, but I didn't think anything of that when I started cooking, because I was naive in thinking gluten free would taste similar to gluten)
Corn is umm corn so it doesn't have gluten in it. It just cost five times the price. Gluten free bread is always awful. But cakes, cookies turn out the same.
SimderZ corn does have gluten in it.
Erik Gonzalez gluten is found in wheat rye and barley. Corn is a vegetable and does not contain that.
Erik Gonzalez corn bread might because of cross contamination but corn has no gluten. maize is gluten free. same as oats
Emily Altemus corn is a grain. corn contains "corn gluten" there have been studies that show it can affect celiacs.
www.glutenfreesociety.org/hidden-corn-based-ingredients/
There are many mannnyyyy things besides "wheat rye and barley" than can destroy a Celiac.
I don't have celiac disease (thank goodness) but I recently got tested and diagnosed with hypothyroidism, meaning that it's better for my body if I avoid gluten since it doesn't let my body absorb the thyroid hormones it's making. Though since I'm not intolerant, just sensitive, I do occasionally sneak in a little something something here and there lol
When it comes to gluten free breads and cookies, freshness counts.
I've got the dumb celiac disease to the point my intestines are bleeding and tearing up. This test meant a lot to me because there really is a difference. To those people who choose to eat that cramp. I ask why. If I didn't have to, I wouldn't touch it with a thirty foot pole. I found that factory made gluten free items other than the basics, (oats, flour, cereal, etc) are great. But things like mac and cheese, or even just the pastas themselves are disgusting. I make most of my foods by hand. All you have to do is take a great recipe and substitute gluten for non gluten. Fried chicken, sugar cookies. Last year I was able to do my entire Thanksgiving gluten free. It just takes three times as long. So believe me when I say this, I don't enjoy any of those things either. Thanks for this taste test 😊
Yeah, gluten tastes better because it holds moisture in whatever it's baked into. But I'll stick to my discipline and stay gluten free, casein free because I want my thyroid to heal and to stop feeling exhausted and foggy no matter how much i've slept. There's really no compromise here, it sucks, and people will tell you they're gluten free because it's a struggle that is always on their minds, NOT because it's a superior diet or fun.
it sounds like your saying gluten is bad for your health''exhausted and foggy no matter how much i've slept''do you know that gluten makes you tired are you gluten intolerant what do you mean gluten is your ''dicisiplin''
Jennifer Bashore I'm sorry to break it to you, but unless you have celiac disease, there is absolutely no reason to avoid gluten. A study from Harvard- and I trust Harvard more than any celebrity endorsement or hipster anecdote- says that unless you are biologically sensitive to gluten, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN WHETHER YOU EAT IT OR NOT. It doesn't impact your thyroid, affect how well you think, nothing. It's just a protein that you're paying extra to avoid for no reason.
Xin Guan Gluten sensitivity and thyroid problems are chemically linked. Feel free to click on any of the links to scientific studies she cites in this article; hypothyroidmom.com/12-shocking-symptoms-of-gluten-sensitivity/
bob tom Hypothyroidism makes me exhausted and foggy. Gluten sensitivity destroyed by thyroid. Things are getting better as long as I give up gluten.... and eating what I used to enjoy.... and eating out in the restaurants I want to experience.... and spending hours a week baking my own substitutes. That's what i mean by discipline.
Doesn't really help your argument when the site you cited does the same thing as every other pseudo-science publication does, misrepresent the data. In the article they cherry pick individual studies, and then conclude that as scientific fact. That's not how science works, there has to be a consensus on the subject before it can be regarded as scientific fact, a single study isn't enough, which they do several times in the linked article. It's like the anti-vaccination people who will link you to a couple of studies that suggest vaccination causes autism, all the while ignoring the mountains of studies that show the exact opposite.
"You can almost feel the gaps where the gluten was taken away." Lol! That one's a winner right there.
5 secs in and there's a joke. I have Celiac and it always bites when people joke about it. We don't have a choice. We have to eat these things to survive.
Part of the "1%" with Celiac disease.
Feel my daily suffering haha XD
To be fair though I'm really glad that more and more people eat glutenfree nowadays because a higher demand leads to more and usually better products over time. Which... is good for people like me.
Idk why people without celiac give a crap about what other people eat. Don't they have like... y'know... better shit to do? :O
paddyyyyyyy
Agreed. I don't think you should eliminate gluten just because you want to be skinner or be part of a fad. When you are doubled over in pain because of stomach issues from gluten and are breaking out in hives...remove gluten from your diet. When you get past the cleansing it out of your system gluten free products aren't that bad. Remembering the pain helps keep the cravings away.
Where are you regulars? Nadia? Stephen? Sean M? I don't see ya!
she just commented right after you lol
lol... I saw, she showed up right after I did!
Nadias asleep sssssshhhh.
FireCracker3240 , I was pretty wasted last night
Nadia Mohamed No worries, you'll get here when you can! :-)
What's sad is that I know people who have horrible digestive issues from gluten and for them there is no choice. I feel very sorry for my friends because I know that food just doesn't taste the same. Some pretenders just say "I'm gluten free" to sound pretentious, which makes it difficult for the ones that really have an issue.
who's the prematurely gray hottie?
Eve Yitu Paddy Murphy.
Eve Yitu Wait for a bit Nadia will know
Yep, the handsome silver fox, as we so lovingly call him, is Paddy Murphy (one of two Facts. contributors with that name).
Nadia Mohamed Ahhh... there you are! I was wondering where you were at. :-)
Two Paddy's or two Paddy Murphy's?? Is it short for Patrick?
I have Celiac and Dairy Intolerance my food tastes nice... the bread is a bit dry but I like it... and I have eaten 'normal' food for years so I know 'good' food ;)
The ginger lass with glasses she is amazing!! Facts do a lad a favour and get me her number!! 😱😍
The lovely lady's name is Nicole O'Connor... and you'll have to get in line to get her number. lol
FireCracker3240 unless facts have shown her full name, the fact you found it at least puts you behind me in that line 😂
Nadia Mohamed I watch loads of the vids just don't check descriptions 😂
Nadia Mohamed TheRealDarkKhaos So, yeah... I know her name because I'm a regular viewer. And don't let my profile pic fool you. I'm a gal. :-)
FireCracker3240 lol, people also assume I'm a dude when they look at my picture.
Paddy: "The secret ingredient is dust." LOL
The reason the corn flakes tasted very similar is that they are both gluten free.......
Corn contains a relative of gluten that is perfectly safe to eat even for most people with REAL gluten intolerance. If you are suffering from the self diagnosed version that is fashionable at the moment just buy a stamp that reads gluten free and stamp it on everything. You will not feel any difference. This is what they did the the "gluten free" corn flakes btw, well that and charge you twice the price.
the non Gluten free ones often have "barley malt" as a flavouring which is not safe for a gluten free diet. At least here in Canada.

It depends on the amount. A few manufacturers of gluten free products has had to remove them due to "confusion" caused by mady-up online "science."
It is of course possible that there is a brand that has a lot of gluten but I would not worry too much about what Dr RUclips has to say. If you suffer from Celiac there are real websites with actual medical science
Corn flakes are not generally gluten free. just because corn is the main ingredient means absolutely nothing. barely malt (or barely or malt) are important to look out for as well as many other ingredients. they contain gluten and can make those with celiac very sick (been there, done that). we must read every ingredient on every package. there have been great strides in the last decade with gluten free food and with labeling. also, we must consider the possibility of cross contamination. if the factory or food preparation area are also used for foods containing gluten, there is a high chance of contamination of the gluten free food, meaning we can't eat it. the official amount of gluten allowed in a sample to be considered gluten free is equal to or less than 20 ppm (parts per million), which is basically none at all. anything over this cannot be labeled gluten free. I hope that helps 😊
Totally false. Almost all commercial corn flakes in the Western world contain malt, which is why gluten-free corn flakes are sold separately. Gluten-free varieties contain extra sweeteners to help compensate for the loss of taste.
It's similar to oats -- in theory, they should be gluten-free because they contain avenin instead of gluten, but there are only four major producers in the entire world who don't mill their oats with wheat.
Where's our grumpy boy? He should have been here.
That would have been difficult to do it with him, because he'd say both suck. XD
So it's not bad ey haha
I don't understand people who don't eat gluten when they aren't even intolerant? It's not healthier it's just harder to eat foods, being gluten intolerant sucks haha
Edit: Although...thank you hipsters for giving us more food options :D
Kaede There is no such thing as Gluten Intolerant. That's fake. There is however celiac disease. That's real. If someone tells you they are intolerant or have gluten sensitivity they are straight up lying and just using it as a fad. (Been made into one.)
RockinRoyaltyx3 Its not fake lmao If you eat gluten and you feel sick you're clearly intolerant to it.
No if you eat gluten and you feel sick afterwards and I mean extremely not discomfort or gas or any of that sort like people get when they are lactose intolerant, then you have celiac disease. There is no such thing as gluten intolerant, that does not exist. You either have celiac disease or you don't, there is no in between.But at the end of the day, people will believe whatever they want to believe.
I owned a GF bakery and retail store for 6 years here in Canada with my dad, before he retired. We won several awards against competitors who had gluten based bakeries. Plus, any event we attended (or still attend) unless we pointed out our food was gf, no one knew the flours or products we used were not wheat, rye or barley flour based.
I feel like the selection provided was no where near to what gluten free food should be. You shouldn't be able to smell a product, or even look at it, and know that it is made from different base ingredients. I wonder if some of these products came with other changes to the standard recipe. I.E. if you gave a milk chocolate chip gluten filled cookie and a chocolate chip vegan gluten free cookie it would be vastly different of the hop. As a cookie with butter, milk chocolate chips and egg regardless of flour used will taste different. It isn't the fairest comparison.
Gluten free food is still regular food. People eat flours and products made from quinoa, rice, amaranth, oats, arrowroot, buckwheat, millet, sorghum, soy, corn, potato, teff, chia, nuts, beans, flax, and more daily and internationally.
Other than that, I enjoy all your videos very much and thanks for making them for us all! -XO
why do they have gluten free cornflakes?? cornflakes are made...of corn
Aidan Walker corn contains gluten.
Aidan Walker many cereals are made in an environment where cross contamination can occur. so GF oats and cornflakes and Rice crispies were just made in an environment where they couldn't have been contaminated with gluten. coeliac disease is real sensitive.

Aidan Walker some brands like to add rye/barley to it as well *coughs* kellogs
Erik Gonzalez Gluten is found in wheat other related species like spelt. Corn does not have gluten.
I’ve got celiac and thoroughly enjoyed this video
Hahaha as someone who has been diagnosed with celiac disease for MANY years, you gave them shit all products. Where the Udi's, Glutino, Amy's, and Pamela's products? Now those are the good name brands!!! Because yeah if you just get the random GF foods off the shelves, a lot of them taste like utter shit.
AriaOfTheElements Trader Joe's also has amazing gluten free products! Especially the brown rice pasta and chocolate chip cookies:)
I would love to go to Trader Joe's but the nearest one to me is 4 hours away :( Oh the woes of living in the middle of fucking nowhere hahaha
Ah yes, the clash of foodly proportions. much like Robert Palmer, we might as well face it, we're addicted to....Gluten stuff. Great video, facts. .
you know corn is naturally gluten-free?
But some cornflake cereal has barley malt added for flavor or are produced alongside gluten containing cereals. That's why gluten free cornflakes exist.
It's not just Celiacs who react to gluten. The fructose molecules (fructans) that's attached to gluten can cause problems for people with IBS. So it's not the gluten directly but the fructans. Fructans are also in onions, garlic, artichockes, asparagus, leeks, and agave (tequila). If you have stomach problems and any of these food bother you, look up the FODMAP diet. Eating gluten-free can suck but so does having diarrhea for hours.
Omg the red head with horizontal stripes has stolen me ❤️
Really good gluten free food is just as tasty as gluten food. If gluten free bread is dry it's because they didn't use the right type of flour mix. Unlike white or wheat bread which is generally made with one type of flour, gluten free breads, pastas, pastries, ect... are made with a mixture of different flours. So if someone doesn't use a proper mix, gluten free products can come out dry and crumbly. Like all food you got your good and your bad. The important thing is that you should enjoy what you're eating. :)
It's a crime to not put John in a food video. He seems like such a food lover.
I mean, if this is how the gluten-free food is in America... the companies that make the food has got to up their game. Where I'm from, the food with gluten and the food without almost always taste just as great as the other. Sometimes, the gluten free food even tastes better. Loved the video :)
A crumbly texture and tasting stale are the biggest things that I dislike about being gluten sensitive
idk his name but i love the guy that just tears through food in every video. xD
Gluten-free bread is one of those things that is PHENOMENALLY difficult to get right. You pretty much need a home baker who does nothing but GF baking and has the perfect flour blend and technique. It can be done, but yeah, there was no way these guys were going to be given good GF bread. The cookie was a very long shot as well. I can make GF breads, cookies, cakes, etc. that are indistinguishable from the genuine gluten-containing article in both flavor and texture, but I've been doing it for years and it's way more expensive and so much more involved.
But, now these guys know what a lot of people do actually have to deal with on a daily basis, when they have CD or a grain allergy and can't do all their own baking. Welcome to the world of mass-produced GF foods! Believe it or not, this is better than how it used to be. .___.
Before Facts I didn't know shite, now I do.
My aunt has celiac disease and has to have everything gluten free. I made sure that at my wedding we had a gluten free pizza, cup cake and candy for her. yes it doesn't taste as good and its a bit dry but at least shes not in the hospital.
To be fair I don't think anyone sane eats gluten free unless they HAVE to due to Celiac (I've got Celiac myself). And the food options now are seriously improved from even just 5 years ago.
I mean, if you have the choice, it´s easier to stick to the regular stuff anyways. But (other than the people who just heard it´s bad for you, which is bullshit) theres people who have a serios intolerance. My girlfriend gets really bad stomachaches and her skin and eyes go nuts if she´s even just exposed to flour dust in the air, so I´m pretty happy that this stuff exists and prevents her from practically dying.
I know how gluten free food sucks, my ex was gluten intolerant.
But the best solution is to just make your own gluten free bread and pizza dough for example, taste much better then pre fab food.
When they say gluten is really weird , it's like when someone says moiste 😁
John knows where it's at with the pizza. Gluten free pizza is pretty good! The bread on the other hand...if you have the money and aren't a poor student (like me), then getting nice bread is a doddle. I hoard bread that I bought on special in my freezer, or go without. It's seriously not worth wafting the crap bread (or gluten).
As with anything, it's best to enjoy your gluten/gluten free food items in moderation. Eat smart, see your doctor regularly and have blood tests done. It could save you some hassle later on.
I have an aunt who can't eat anything with gluten, she kept getting really sick and nobody could figure out why till she finally found out that she has celiacs disease and can't eat gluten. Her kids also have huge food allergies so that sucks as well 😢
