Lots of people will say they are lactose intolerant and refuse to eat any dairy products. But lactose is only present in sufficient quantities to cause problems in milk and cream. Practically all cheese, yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, and so on all have had the lactose removed or broken down by enzymes during fermentation and won’t cause problems. I know a lot of people fake gluten allergies too. What is the problem/mental illness happening here?

Lactose intolerance: because of mistaking an a1 milk protein intolerance (which is not racially specific like lactase persistence) with lactose intolerance. The symptoms are almost identical. Even though nowadays there's more scholarly research on a1 protein intolerance than there used to be, the average person doesn't know what that is and assumes they are lactose intolerant. Unlike lactose, it also doesn't go away in dairy *products* either, so cheese still causes symptoms, which makes people think that those things are causing lactose intolerance symptoms even though they have little to no lactose.

Gluten allergy: people think that they are allergic to gluten because American bread (this is an American myth, nobody anywhere else does this) has a cocktail of weird ingredients in it that probably cause their inflammation. Real gluten allergies can cause anaphylaxis and kill you (it is an *actual* food allergy).

Building off the gluten intolerance, there are some folks with Celiac but that leads to debilitating pain and other issues if they consume gluten. That is different from “when I eat wonder bread my tum-tum hurts”

A lot of the stomach ache issue is simply the ridiculous amout of processed sugar in everything, including bread. Bacteria love sugar, reproduce like crazy, and produce gas which causes bloating.

Further, a lot of "bread" has basically zero fiber, which bonds with sugars and carries them straight through the digestive system without being absorbed (which is why whole fruit is healthy but fruit juice isn't).

And that's not even getting into the glycophosphate problem.

Excellent post. This really hits the heart of the issue.
