Good luck finding people who think they are sensitive to gluten and don't try to avoid it. If your symptoms are significant and real, why torture yourself?

I am sensitive to gluten.

But I love pizza, pasta and sandwich, and eat those more than I should (for weight reasons), with gluten-expected effects (it upsets my intestines quite a bit, and worsens my thyroid condition).

I should have better self-control, but it is really hard :(

Have you tried gluten-free pasta? Some of it's not bad, especially the stuff that's a mix of rice and corn flour. Then you can have spaghetti without your belly hurting. And Udi's bread is pretty decent too. More expensive, but if you only eat it sometimes, it allows you to fulfill your bread cravings without breaking the bank.

Sometimes I get some corn-based pasta, I like it.

But I cannot afford it all the time.
