Secret Diary of a Call Girl bashed the gluten intolerant

OK, maybe this is just me being a little sensitive, but I love watching the Showtime series Secret Diary of a Call Girl and in the past week's opening, she kind of bashes girls with Gluten Intolerance, which I did not think was cool. 

I know, it was supposed to be a snarkily innocent opening.  The whole series is about a high-class prostitute named Belle. Anyway, so in the opening, Belle talks about why husbands/boyfriends would prefer spending time with her rather than their "real" girlfriends/wives.  

Belle says something to the effect of "Why would they want to live real lives with real problems like a girlfriend with a gluten intolerance."  That's not verbatim.  I don't remember all of it, just the last part!

Seriously people, thanks for kicking a girl who can't eat donuts  - or something.

Ack, I got glutened

To be sociable, I went out to a cajun restaurant called Shuck N Jive in Dallas.  I did my normal interrogation of the waitress and we negotiated down to grilled chicken on iceberg lettuce with italian dressing that they swore contained no modified food starch.

In no way do I blame the restaurant for accidentally poisoning me.  I made the choice to eat at a place that specializes in fried foods and cuisine that is routinely dredged in flour.

Still, 20 minutes later, my stomach was making ominous gurgling noises that I couldn't cover up.  Luckily, I'd only eaten half of my food so it wasn't severe.  I don't know if the gluten was in seasoning on the chicken - no one ever really believes you want plain chicken because that's gross - or there was cross-contamination, but there was definitely something glutinous involved.  

I'm not sure what the answer is - never eat out? Never try new places?  What do you guys think? Clearly, getting poisoned is not a good way to make new friends so being sociable is not a good reason to take gluten risks.
