If you're curious what this means, check out /celiac and /glutenfree for more basic information.

This sub is meant to be an open forum for discussing science related to gluten. This can be broad since gluten is a single material subject and one can study the body's reaction, the gluten molecule, the cooking side of it, the sociology of gluten related diseases, and the psychology of suffering relating to gluten. Not to mention the chemistry, biology and medical fields regarding gluten.

Rules:

1. Be respectful of people. Specifically people who are not yet educated on gluten intolerance and sensitivity matters, people who are not yet educated on scientific matters, and people who are not yet educated on the gluten associated disease subculture and gluten-free diet subculture.

2. Cite sources when applicable. The community should also self-enforce correct quoting, author's intent and the nature of the sources themselves.

3. If you have something, post it. If you're afraid of whiplash from posting something here, feel free to make a throwaway account. However, it is the nature of this subreddit to allow people to ask the awkward questions and consider the taboos of the gluten free subculture.

4. Anecdotes are okay, as long as it is understood as an anecdote. Homeopathy should be redirected towards other subreddits unless there is a specific scientific question or concern regarding it. (e.g. touting the miracle cure of such and such is not allowed, while asking how much of a certain supplement is safe or talking about why a homeopathic remedy would work if it did or why it seems to work for someone specific. It's best to get down to the chemistry of a remedy and the biology of its effects on the body.)

5. Above all, this is not a subreddit to downvote, or ridicule individuals because they seem ignorant of what others suffer from on a daily basis. It is not a subreddit to downvote people who honestly question the pros and cons of supposed miracle cures. It is the reddit to educate others and to explain the science behind gluten and discuss research being done in the world.

Enjoy, explore and educate in the multiple dimensions of all that is the gluten related sciences.
