Side effect of going gluten-free?

I'm reasonably sure I have a virus, but I'm not "ill" . I'm bloody knackered for no reason and had some headaches, but that's it. But that's how I've felt with viruses in the past. And, I've been doing two days of transfers each week to a bus full (or half full!) of tourists that are often coughing and spluttering behind me
But, I'm not ill, so can't stay home. I have stopped "bisous-ing" colleagues but TBF, by the time I feel like this I suspect the contagious time has passed !!

'Despite growing numbers of people reporting such symptoms, gluten intolerance remains hotly debated in terms of its causes and management. Currently, the only recommended approach is to adopt a gluten-free diet.'
Unless you're Matt Damon of course. He's plugging it as a weight-loss diet. (You tend to lose water in the early stages so, yes, your weight can go down but....).

None of the scooter folk wear anything apart from helmets. Often with straps undone.

Just how much harder it is to lose weight than it is to put weight on !!!!
And in some ways, less enjoyable.
I'm working on dropping some lard and fuck me, i nearly died on the indoor bike today... Was a struggle to even get upstairs for a shower afterwards !

At Portimao I'm riding like a loon at 175 every lap without a worry in the world.
Nipping into town in sunny gear, I ride with a lot more care.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
It’s a hotly debated topic because like so many allergies and intolerances , they are self diagnosed. It obviously doesn’t make them not exist. But it is nowhere near the levels that fashion currently dictates.Count Steer wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 9:22 amMaybe:Mr Moofo wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 9:09 amUnless you are a coeliac, why are you going gluten free?Count Steer wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 7:58 am

And yes, if you are coeliac you have to exclude it. It’s an auto immune disease not an allergy

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Yes, well, if even the experts don't agree, what's a person to do apart from giving gluten-free a go? (Or go through the tedious stages of an exclusion diet). If it works for them then, it works for them.Mr Moofo wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 11:01 amIt’s a hotly debated topic because like so many allergies and intolerances , they are self diagnosed.

Inevitably there's a bit of 'band-waggoning' and the food industry is only too happy to satis£y demand. (See also high protein 'diet' - 'high protein' doughnut anyone?

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Hi protein is truly bollocks. It was an American fad about 10 years ago when they produced hi protein Mars bars and Snickers amongst other laughable offerings. In the Western world very few people need more protein- esp when they are fat and American.

Meat substitutes is another great one - looks like meat, tastes like meat, and it is seriously the most processed food you will ever had.
Just like exclusion diets, it you want to be vegetarian or vegan look at it as a lifestyle change - not as a reason to eat Impossible Burgers.
Then there is low carb - when folks forget alcohol is a carbs …

Coeliac. Bloody love Gluten. Gregggs sausage rolls. Cakes. custard slices, proper bread. Lots of nice beer rather than IPA's and shit Lagers.

Hey ho
I do need to restart my vitamins etc that I'd stopped (which includes B12) but I stopped them before December, so I don't think the last week is that either - but I do need to get restarted then get checked !!!
I think high protein is silly unless you are full on strength training and managing it properly.Mr Moofo wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 11:28 am

But, a lot of people do not get the 'right' amount of protein per day. It's interesting to see how much an adult 'should' have and then see exactly what you eat and how much actual protein you do get
You're lucky - a few of the coeliacs I know have it come back up rather than go through fast!!Felix wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 11:43 am

These sort of rules aren't there for your benefit. They are there for the benefit of people who don't consider their attire when riding !
