A gluten-free diet is one that excludes… Gluten! Gluten is a pomtein found in wheat, barley, rye, and triticale. Gluten and the things it’s in are beige. So very beige because they are made of different kinds of wheat – all of which are so, so beige. As you can see, there is not a stitch of beige on Gigi.
A gluten-free Pom diet is essential for Poms who suffer from celipom disease and other Pom medical conditions associated with gluten like non-celipom gluten sensitivity, gluten pomtaxia, and wheat allergy. So Gigi’s friends are fruits and veggies, eggs, lean non-processed fish, meats and proteins, and most low-fat dairy products.
As a gluten-free Pom she is very healthy and is in good company with the likes of Scarlett Jopomsen, Miley Pomrus, and Kim Karpomshian. Gigi does not have bloating, tooting, brain fog or pains in her tummy. It can be challenging to be a gluten-free Pom. Even communion wafers and matzoh balls have gluten in them and can cause copious toots. Is nothing sacred?
