Got glutened by the office communal tea kettle yesterday (those rapid boil kettles) because [someone] decided to steep their I don't know what in it rather than their own mug. Fortunately my boss is very understanding and lets me work from home when I get glutened. But ugh, 2+ more weeks of body hell on top of whatever the hell else my body is overreacting to.

They usually died of malnourishment as children. But there's plenty of cultures who have rice or corn based diets.

Also, gluten in everything as a cheap filler/stabilizer is a fairly recent development.

??? Do you have Celiac or something? You’re out of commission for two weeks because you drank something that contained gluten??
