Gluten free or bust

What the heck is gluten?


Poem Artwork

I don't eat gluten
And what is that you say
It is the protein
In most grains
Like wheat, and oats
Rye, barley, and hay
That last one was
Added for rhyming
I don't know if it
Has gluten too
When I ingest this
I get weird stuff
Happening to me
But maybe not to you
I get headaches, and
Facial rashes
And can't sit still, it's true
It's like I have ants
In my pants
Would you like that
Really, would you
So I pass up all gluten
And proudly wear this tee
Gluten-free, yup deal with it
Says it all for me


*thanks Karina for designing this tee

Nicely done! ...itch it,scratch it, you raise a serious topic in your ever whimsical tone. A friend of mine is 'gluten free'...she always raises the point very brightly when we dine...'does your menu cope with hives?' she says will go on her headstone. Lovely work Lynn, Panda :)

Oh my, Lynn, I'm so sorry to hear about this allergy you have! I guess it's like any allergy, and like you said, you just learn to deal with it. Thank you for making me aware of this! Excellent work.
Love,
CJ

Honey does the same thing to me,
Bee honey, not you honey...

My mum has coelic disease so she can't have a trace of it, or she does bust for the loo...
