Not being a neurotic woman--that vilest, most annoying and least of things--

I'm not obsessively preoccupied with my bowels, and I don't have, or imagine that I have, celiac disease, and I'm not at all afraid to eat gluten, even seitan. But I suppose that I'd be as  obsessively, even neurotically, obsessed with my bowels too, if my auto-immune system were attacking my small intestine. Le povere.
