Still doing it...
I have coeliac disease, and have been told many times by the doctors that I have to stop eating food with gluten in.
I haven't, so apparently I am going to get bowel cancer, and at least one other form of cancer.
I keep hoping that one day they will ring me up and tell me that they were exaggerating. It hasn't happened yet. I don't expect it to, but until I either die or get very ill I am going to keep eating wheat because I like the freedom. And bread that doesn't taste like soggy cardboard beer-mats.

Coeliac
Just so you know, my father (and I) both have Coeliacs disease. I know, because he was diagnosed with it and I got tested. He knows because he has 9 months to live (at the outside) due to bowel cancer.

Enjoy the bread.

I have to ask
whether bread is really worth the risk. Except it's not actually a risk at all, is it? It's a certainty, from the sounds of it. Good choice there, dumbass.

Have you tasted Coeliac bread?
Kroney - eat gluten free bread vs die of bowel cancer.... it's a tougher decision than you might think.

Every morning the Mrs toasts her GF bread, and we leave the room gagging. And that's just the smell - we don't have to eat the stuff.

I'd rather eat shitty bread
than die of cancer. Or not eat bread full stop. In fact, there's not many things I'd deny myself the freedom of eating in order to not die.
