Me: Aroace, tourettes, ankylosing spondylitis, gastroparesis, POTS, Celiac disease

[aroaceflop]

As someone with gastroparesis and celiac disease i thought id share some items that have gluten or gluten byproducts to end celiac awareness month.

1. Chicken broth contains yeast extract. This is gluten free but not celiac safe.

2. Most beauty products have a wheat binding agent. If its on your face its in your mouth

3. Deodorant. Toothpaste. Perfume. Lotion. Found this out the hard way when my dermatitis flared because of gluten in my lotion and my mouth broke out in sores due to my dental products.

4. Most seasonings are gluten free but not celiac safe due to binding agents. Do research please or make your own seasoning.

5. My sadest loss was bath and body works hand sanitizer. Uses a wheat agent in most sanitizers. Especially the moisturizer.

6. If you date someone who just ate a sandwich or other gluten item. A peck is fine without brushing teeth but if they have facial hair or crumbs on their lips they must rinse their face.

Please stay safe loves and if you know someone with celiac please be aware that this is a very isolating condition and many people will brush off the cross contamination but even a crumb can cause immense pain and discomfort. Worse cases can even lead to cancer and death. You wouldn't poison a stranger because they said they couldnt eat bread, but in ignoring the request or warning thats what your doing.

If someone with celiac says no thank you to food please dont take offense we appreciate the sentiment and support but this is a very strict condition that even the smallest grain could fracture. We love you all and appreciate support and comfort.

Fun fact about the kissing part! New studies have shown that if the person who ate gluten drinks at least 4 ounces of water immediately after eating, that the gluten levels in their salvia are under 20 parts per million (ppm), which is the safe threshold per the FDA.

Of course, your mileage may vary. Honestly, I still make my partner (non-celiac) brush their teeth and clean their face before kissing me (celiac) because I am overly cautious so do what you would like! But I thought this new info was neat so I thought I would share :)

(Here’s the link to the study if you would like to read it!)

Awareness Month!

Here is some info graphics made by @ chefmollyarnett on Instagram!

This is page two typed out for screen readers. "TYPES OF CELIAC DISEASE.

aroace culture is when you also don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't want to drive a car, don't drink coffee and don't wear make-up (and obviously don't seek out relationships or sex), so you basically saw all the stuff you are allowed to do as a grown-up and just said "no" to all of it

Worlds biggest fuck you to the person I just saw posting a petition to CHANGE YELENAS CANON IDENTITY FROM AROACE TO A LESBIAN AS ITS “more realistic” AND “aroaces don’t do anything”

Hey, that’s more than just shipping her. That’s erasure all the way down. That’s aphobic. No excuses for you or anyone who signs that petition, get off my blog.

The absolute gnawing guilt of being chronically ill even though you know there's nothing you can do about it

[aro-ace-culture-is]

You know the swing metaphor for sexuality?

Aroace culture is laying on the ground underneath the swing getting kicked in the head by allonormativity.

Every so often education about Tourettes gets set back a million years and I see people posting "you can choose your tics" again

unfortunately for me my “hot girl tummy issues” is just a chronic digestive disorder :(

I think im finally understanding why people enjoy relationships. Wait-I should preface this by saying I dont want any of that. What im saying is that the giddy knot I get in my stomach over a good song or most music I can only correlate to how people describe love in a relationship.

The absolute knot and goosebumps i get from a next level melody is the only intimacy and love I need.

Yeah I think i get it now-the most aroace thing to ever come across my brain.

[aroaceflop]

I've been reading a bit about people's journeys to discovering their sexuality and romantic orientation and I thought id share a bit of mine.

Im currently 25 but ever since I was 14 I realized I was different from most of my friends and classmates.

I got over relationships fast and always dated people that others pushed me towards. When it came to intimacy or affection I was highly dependent on vibes to determine the correct times and actions.

I remember one time someone asked me why I wasn't so excited for the act of fornication. And I told them that I could honestly go my whole life without it. Apparently that was not normal.

This got me thinking and I tried to honestly force convert my mindset by exposure. I spent years miserable in every relationship I entered. Putting on a show to make my partners happy.

One day i thought well maybe I just need to wait and see if time makes me love a person. This was not the case. I felt no draw and honestly it repulsed me. At the age of 19 I realized I was ace.

It was odd for me i had finally found a place for myself but I still felt so empty. I tried to pursue relationships with the knowledge that I was indifferent or repulsed to affection. But it still didnt feel right.

I then spent 2 years focusing on myself and my journey of self.

After 2 years I tried dating one last time and came to the conclusion that I was in fact aromantic.

I thought once again that maybe I was just indifferent and could still pursue relationships as long as I made them aware that I dont feel those things. Some people were ok with it but everytime they were romantic with me I got the chills.

So now as of 2026 im situated in my knowledge that im asexual aromantic repulsed and I have lovley people in my life so I dont feel so lonely or unaccepted.

I know this may not be the case for everyone so if someone ever needs someone on their side my message box is open.
