I refuse to make fun of dietary restrictions after spending five years as a waiter rolling my eyes at gluten free people and then developing a gluten intolerance.
The universe is a tricky bitch. It gave me a literal pain in the ass.
You can be annoyed by gluten bad gluten free while recognizing the real pain of celiacs.
Just because it isn’t a visible disease does not mean everyone is in the right.
I dislike the disregard for vegans in the post, still.
I once had a buddy with Celiac’s, it was interesting trying to find a restaurant that worked for us both. The tide of hipsters wanting everything gluten free was a godsend!
FYI it’s just Celiac disease, or they are a celiac, no 's
FYI you should use punctuation, such as a period, at the end of a sentence to let your readers know the thought is complete.

No you don’t, not for celiac. It’s symptoms are debilitating.
I know a case like that. He was unfortunate enough to have doctors that were unable to diagnose him properly. When he started the diet in his thirties and his absolutely debilitating health condition got a lot better in so many ways, it was such a relief!
But also, there are people who are not celiacs but do have an intolerance, and the diet is worth trying if someone thinks it may be their case.
Yeah, but that’s not the gluten allergy.
The guy I was talking about in the first paragraph was a celiac.
I was talking about the second.
It’s possible to be delibitated and not know why. Until you stop eating gluten and get better. You should watch House MD, House is always using the treatment as the test. He tries something and sees if the patient gets better. Many of those patients are dying and he still doesn’t know what they have until he tries a treatment.
House is in no way a realistic medical show
I remember a medical friend rolling his eyes at the show when it was airing, because usually he could guess what the end diagnosis could be from the symptoms. House was just really good at making the drama about the doctor interject and extend the eyeball time into the hour long episode
Are you saying doctors don’t give patients treatments for unknown diseases to see if they’ll work?
It’s obvious you’ve never had to go through this because generally no, that does not happen often.
Not the way House does!

No you don’t. They can do a blood test for it now.
Blood test has poor reliability, and you have to eat gluten to get it which makes many people too sick to even get tested
The gold standard is a biopsy of the duodenum but again you need to be eating like 20g of gluten a day for a few weeks and many people get too sick after even a few milligrams
Neither diagnoses NCGS, non Celiac gluten sensitivity. The only test is to stop eating gluten.
Eh, you haven’t worked in food service.
What always sent me was the people who ordered gravy after telling me they were gluten sensitive…
Vegans can eat just about anywhere. Feel bad for the carnivore friend who just has to stay hungry until you see a roadkill animal.
This one time roadtripping, my vegan buddy stopped 4 separate times for a snack, while I didn’t see so much as a squirrel pancake for 14 hours. Unfair!
I got lucky and found a dead skunk I could chew on.
My loser vegan friend missed out!!!
Do you live in the Beastars universe?
I immediately sent this to my boomer parents on WhatsApp after I found this and they think it is hilarious
Quick, simple, needs nobody to be Online to get it. A classic!

Gotta keep those lemon stealing whores away

My planted lemon trees haven’t sprouted any goods yet. I’m still waiting to have to, erm, chase off one of them thieves.
Has anyone stopped to consider how the grass might feel about this? I didn’t think so.
That’s why I only eat prokaryotes.
Have you ever stopped to think about how prokaryotes feel about that arrangement? That’s why I only eat silicates
Ain’t no good prokaryote 'cept one that’s enslaved or dead. Those freaky little bastards don’t even have organelles or a nucleus. MRSA, Botulism, Anthrax…we’ve been at war for billions of years. Long will I have been in the cold, cold ground before I recognize prokaryote rights.
Single cell cyanonacteria ftw though! They bow to no one, they’re self sufficient, they don’t enslave or eat others.
This summer? Who the fuck is going to be able to afford gas for roadtripping?
Uhhhhhh, fuck, can’t you read???
Clearly we who can split it between roadkill and roadsalads!
At first I thought this was telling me to fuck my friend in the mouth…
