Amen to the “bodies are crazy things” comment. I’m diagnosed Celiac (both with the blood test and the biopsy (So yeah, I’ll bring it for you Dr. Emilio, and then you shove it up your ass)) but for better or worse I have zero immediate symptoms. I could eat pasta all the live long day with nary a bit of trouble, other…

That is sometimes how it works. My dad was told by an NHS dietician that while he was not coeliac he should strictly avoid gluten as he is very intolerant to it, among a long list of foods including dairy and most fruits and vegetables. It is not a nice diet, and if he ever goes out to eat (which he very rarely does…

I don’t have celiac’s disease, but if I eat bread (especially pizza dough for some reason) my guts bloat like they’re going to explode. People would say ‘Yeeeah, suuuure’ until they see it in action... my gut will literally expand about 6-10 INCHES inside of 15 minutes. Very dramatic and VERY uncomfortable!

I feel like every single person in the world who gets real symptoms from their gluten intolerance would probably disagree with you. Heartburn, reflux, shitting like a waterfall. All things that happen when you have a real gluten intolerance, as opposed to the whining that happens when you’re just intolerant about…

Eh if you don’t have gluten intolerance I would just keep your opinions to yourself on this one. Some people who think they have it don’t but they also aren’t always lying. The only test is to see if eating gluten gives you a reaction and to do that properly (i.e. slowly introducing ingredients until you have a…

Sigh. I never wanted to be in this position...but as someone with IBS, I can tell you you don’t have to have celiac disease to have to cut out gluten. Long story short, eating gluten can make me have a flare up of bloody diarrhea.

I’ve been tested for celiac and I don’t have it. If I drink a beer or eat fries that have some flour on it (for crispiness), I get diarrhea that lasts 3 days along with extremely painful abdominal spasms while I have the bowel movements. Not to mention ridiculous amounts of gas, and anal leakage. Bread, donuts, baked…

A good friend is HIGHLY gluten intolerant. She can’t even have grilled meat at restaurants, because most of the time they flour the grill and she’ll react to that. I feel so bad for her when she’s trying to talk to the wait staff, and it’s because of idiots that say they “can’t have gluten” but then order a grilled…

Really? The only people who have any adverse reaction to gluten are people with Celiac? Wow, you should get your paper published ASAP since that’s news to me. Plenty of people have bullshit reasons for not eating gluten, but it is absolutely a substance that can cause adverse reactions in more than literally zero…

My wife gets very bad heartburn from eating gluten. She does not have celiacs disease, just an intolerance to gluten.

Whilst she may well have been full of shit, like most people obsessed with gluten, it actually can work the way she says it does:

I love that the author of the pancakes story totally implies that the only way to impress a date is to order the expensive stuff on the menu.

So other cars can see it.

1 Entemanns 31:66-7. “For this yellow cake is my body, and this strawberry filling is my blood, which confirm the covenant between God and his people. Except for people like Peter’s bachelor uncle, and that woman who lives next to Paul and teaches boxing; I think we all know the sort of people I mean.”

I think it’s strange that Clueless is seen as the antithesis of this movie, when it, too featured a group of partying kids obsessed with sex. Obviously it was VERY different, but I don’t think it was “cookie-cutter” or completely opposite from Kids.

it’s holding someone accountable to do their job. if customer service is my job, and i don’t do it, it’s my boss’s job to get me to do it, and that goes all the way up the ladder.

Literally what

in their defense, who couldn’t.

GOOD THING I’M A WOMAN OF COLOR.
