How common knowledge is it that most soy sauce isn’t gluten free is this a thing everyone knows or am I just biased

i knowwww i’m supposed to be really strict with my gluten free diet but i haven’t been officially been diagnosed with celiac yet and at some point i don’t waaant dry cereal and granola all day so i take a risk and scarf down the french fries that may have been cross contaminated with veggie burger. fuck my small intestine i want a little bit of joy

Celiac is weird because it’s technically a disability but also it doesn’t *really* impact my life so I feel weird calling it a disability but also that’s only because it has influenced my life so drastically from such a young age that I literally cannot remember what life is like not having celiac but I have it easier than other people so really it’s not a big deal but have I experienced discrimination or unfair treatment for it?? Yeah like. Regularly. But maybe it’s not harming my life and that’s not ableism that’s just people not being able to accommodate my *checks notes* autoimmune disorder that severely restricts what I can eat at risk of severe illness ergo impairing my ability to interact and live in the world

"this character is like me because they're gay" "this character is trans like me" well characters are the most like me fr when they have celiac disease. can we get more bitches with celiac disease

I don’t want to say any one dietary restriction is the worst because we all have it bad in different ways but MAN sometimes I think about the monetary cost of having celiac disease and I die a little bit

Accidentally deleted my celiac post but the sentiment is still there. Celiac TLDR is that you eat gluten -> body freaks the fuck out -> immune system attacks small intestine and damages villi in your small intestine (villi increase nutrient absorption theyre very important you can see cool pictures of them on histology dot com) -> stomach pain and nausea and vomiting and skin problems and fatigue and malnourishment and bloating and many other issues -> some dipshit tells you you’re too woke or whatever and that you’re entitled for not wanting this to happen. Everyone listen to the this podcast will kill you episode on celiac or wait an unspecified amount of time for me to make this comic. Celiac people I love you forever.
