Share Article
“Since being diagnosed with celiac disease in 2005, I have been vaguely aware of the societal pressures that put me at odds with friends and family in virtually every social setting where I disclosed my intention to maintain a gluten-free diet. I wonder, why do I feel this way? Why was this happening so consistently in my life? And, was I alone in this experience? These questions prompted me to conduct this study.” – Dr. Duane If someone had told me before how difficult it is to adhere to a gluten-free diet, I would have thrown up my hands … I wouldn’t have believed it! – Dustin (Participant #46)
What s True
Celiac disease experts theorize that some plastic straw alternatives, particularly those made of wheat straw or pasta, may contain gluten or gluten byproducts. What s Undetermined
Origin
Embracing plastic straw alternatives may require second thoughts for some individuals diagnosed with celiac disease. A claim that appeared in a meme in early 2021 warned that traces of gluten may be found in some plastic straw alternatives and could prove damaging to those with gluten intolerance and sensitivities.
The graphic in question urged social media users to bring their own straws or opt for those made out of bamboo or hay or none at all.
