i would never wish celiac on anyone but sometimes i wish i could give people the experience temporarily so they stop judging me for being so cautious around food. someone once gave me a hard time for only ever ordering the same thing at one of the few local restaurants i can eat at, and it's like.... well, i have confirmed that this one thing will not poison me. i have not yet confirmed that anything else on the menu will not poison me. i don't feel like violently throwing up today if i take a risk that pans out badly.
I have Crohn's not celiac, but the vibe is honestly exactly the same. I think people who do not experience chronic GI disorders truly do not understand the unmitigated horror that is unleashed by eating the Wrong™ food. Like.
I do not want to spend the next several days or weeks bent over in agony as my intestines try to physically yeet themselves out of my body.
So no. I'm not going to risk eating something that may contain a trigger food. Yes, it is that serious. And no, I'm not being "difficult" about it.
You are for insisting that your food preferences outweigh my desire to not get fucking poisoned.
