if a vegan eats gluten free than how do you get any protein at all. Gluten is a plant protein. I dont know why gluten is suddenly something to fear. There is animal protein and there is plant protein. Gluten=plant protein.

Anavidfan,
Many people, inlcuding myself, eat gluten free. I have been under the care of a rheumatologist specialist, and getting off gluten has done wonders. Also, many people are gluten intolerant, and there are atually people who have Celiac's which is a very serious illness, and can eventually cause stomach cancer, etc. It wasn't noticed years ago, like in babies with colic, or young people with reflux disease.

I had to go vegan for a year, and I was working with a licensed nutritionist at our hospital.......I had no problem getting my protein or amino acids. My cholesterol did go down by almost 100 points . :)

At any rate, unless you know a lot about veganism, and also eating gluten free, there is no need to bash it. I do find the OP to be obnoxious, but I think making fun of gluten free lifestyles and vegan lifestyles is not really necessary here, is it?

There is quite a lot of good research on gluten, and other proteins that turn on inflammation in the body, this was actually shown to me by licensed nutritionist and my rhematologist.....we can now actually SEE genes for inflammation turning on, and off, with the intake of certain foods, CERTAIN proteins, esp. the ones that wreak havoc on those with rhuematoid arthritis, etc.

I dont think the OP would be getting such a severe reaction if every other word she posted wasnt so pro-vegan.

Just imagine how irritating it would be if every time someone posted they threw their political opinion into the thread or preached about the coming of Christ. Thats what so many people are railing against and the sad part is that so far the OP has been clueless to the fact thats she's turning more people off to her cause than she is educating them by these very actions.

This is a forum about vaping, not football, not collecting stamps, and certainly not about shoving your lifestyle choices down others throats. Whats next? A poster telling everyone how we should all love members of the same sex or join a cult?

I have to make an apology with those that have legitimate gluten allergies, it is in no way funny nor silly. What is funny and silly is people like the OP. The OP is the kind of person that belittles and true vegan lifestyles and people with food allergies. Digestive problems are very serious and painful and can ruin ones lifestyle. Its a very depressing and sometimes horrifying condition.

So to Racehorse , who Ive seen on the forums for a while and shared comments and good information I apologize. Im glad an actual serious "vegan" is on here to bring some sanity to this madness.

To the original OP, no apologies. Like Zapped said, this is a forum for vaping, to help each other , to share a common interest in keeping ourselves healthy thru going cigarette free. Most of your replies are just reworded statements that others say, or babble that is most of the time incoherent.
