    This is me with my celiac. I ask people specifically not to make things for me, and I feel like an asshole, but there are so many considerations to be made. I don’t expect everyone to know how to prepare food in a safe celiac-friendly way, but it’s not worth the gamble.

    And at restaurants too. Just because something is labeled “gluten free” on the menu doesn’t mean that I can eat it. There are sites that can help with that, but even some of them are outdated or wrong.

    And I also have lactose intolerance, which isn’t as bad, but I’m not sure how people just ignore that like in the meme. I’d have to literally wear diapers, and that’s not something I’m willing to revisit.
