Figure out what you can eat and drink and ask for it directly if you can't handle Mr. Burnsian liquor store employees owning the hell out of you. Celiac disease is a real thing, it's like being holier-than-thou over a peanut allergy.

Stan Taylor posted:Also, man, people complain about vegans, but gluten weirdos are a million times more annoying. Well the principles behind being a vegan are actually real (cruelty to animals) even if you don't agree with veganism. There is no scientific proof of gluten sensitivity being a thing at all, beyond legit Celiac's sufferers - and do not count the self-diagnosed. It's literally something most people read in a magazine and took at face value: gluten=bad. I don't know why this woman decided to make a food allergy a major part of who she is, but this article is mostly just sad and pathetic; a central facet of most STDH.

When I was 13 I was wrongly diagnosed with Celiac disease by my doctor, I went gluten free for 4 months before the error was corrected. It was such a huge pain in the rear end, I really don't understand these stupid fad-diet weirdos, why would you intentionally go through something like that?

Yeah, I think vegan is pretty rad, but I'm too much a gross slob to spend that much time editing from my current diet. There's loads of STDH about uppity vegans online (particularly places like imgur/reddit) getting passed around in the same way that there a load of anti-feminist STDHs.

It's literally something most people read in a magazine and took at face value: gluten=bad. Pretty much this. I've got a friend who decided she was "gluten intolerant" and stopped eating gluten about 6 years ago. And of course, she can't really be tested to verify this because that would mean having to eat foods with gluten for a week to see how she reacts (so she says). The thing is, "gluten insensitivity" or "gluten intolerance" is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Guess what you have to avoid when you can't eat gluten? Foods made with refined white flours and simple carbs (think white breads, pastas, pretty much ALL junk foods). Guess what foods make you feel bloated and sick when you eat them in abundance? Foods made with refined white flours and simple carbs (think white breads, pastas, junk food). So of course you're going to feel better if you cut them out of your diet.

Funny thing is that non-celiac gluten sensitivity probably doesn't exist... but there IS a thing called FODMAPS sensitivity that, coincidentally, has almost the exact same do-not-eat list as the no-gluten diet. (It's actually even more annoyingly restrictive. No garlic or onion.) So some people with stomach issues self diagnose as that bullshit non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and COMPLETELY BY ACCIDENT switch to a diet that helps with the actual problem.

Maybe it's just because I'm from the midwest, but I've met far more obnoxious anti-vegans than obnoxious vegans. "Hey try this burger, it's so good" "Nah sorry dude I'm vegan" "OH MY GOD WHY DO VEGANS NEVER SHUT UP. HEY HOW DO YOU KNOW IF SOMEONE IS VEGAN? DON'T WORRY THEY'LL TELL YOU!!"

He ordered something benign. Except it wasn't. There was enough gluten to fill this: 00. Not very much, right? He was out for over a week while his intestines shed their liner and grew a new one.

Both of my step brothers are celiac and they get really sick if they have anything with even a little bit of gluten in it. It's a shame that the gluten weirdos make people with celiac disease look like hippies or suckers that got caught up in a new fad diet.

Reminds me of that thread someone posted asking for advice because for some reason he'd been faking an Australian accent around his girlfriend and was wondering how to come clean about it because she was about to meet his parents. I think they'd been dating for something like 6 months at that point.

Elysiume posted:On the other hand, gluten weirdos are the reason why stores are carrying way more gluten free products. Celiac disease afflicts ~1 in 133 people, and there's a way stronger financial incentive to stock gluten free products if you can bolster that number with people who want to eat gluten free for the hell of it. My friend's mom has Celiac disease and says gluten free people are the best thing that's happened to her. I think people encountering more obnoxious anti-vegans than obnoxious vegans has to do with idiots hearing about preachy vegans on the Internet and getting angry about something they've never encountered. The same thing happens in the UK with angsty teenage atheists complaining about Christians oppressing them. I met about 50 guys like that in university but the UK doesn't really have the American Bible Belt style of obnoxious Christians they whine about.

Just as the scene ends, the camera starts to focus on the girl as she approaches the employees, says, "sorry....... My mom is crazy". Cue 22 minute laugh track as she high fives the employees.
