Today is National Banana Day! Did you know bananas and celiac disease have a very interesting history? Before celiac was well understood and gluten was identified as the problem, a banana-based diet was used to treat the disease in children (and at the time, presumed to have "cured" them).

So excited by this. I made gluten free cauliflower & cheese pies. I’m really not much of a cook & a lot of things I make, turn out rubbish. But these worked really well 👏🏻. Before coeliac, there would be no reason for me to learn to make something like this. There is a bakery 5 minutes from my places that does delicious ones. But the closest place that does gluten free cauliflower & cheese pies to me, is an hour away. Let me know if you want the recipe, I’ll add it as a reblog if there’s any interest.

If you have celiac and buy the brand Van’s for their waffles, please know that 9 days ago there was a recall because some of the packages of the gluten free waffles may contain “undeclared” wheat. And if you have celiac, you know “may” might as well mean “does”.
This recall only applies to boxes with the matching lot codes and numbers, and do not pertain to other products that Van’s has to offer. These boxes were distributed in AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, NC, & WA. Please check your boxes immediately to ensure your own safety and save yourself the painful reactions to gluten. It’s advised the purchased packages be either thrown out (or given to someone who can eat wheat so as not to waste it) or return the product to where you’ve purchased it from.
Tumblr media
“The U.S. Food & Drug Administration website published the recall July 3. It applies to certain packs of Van's Gluten Free Original Waffles with lot code UW40193L, expiration date Jan. 19, 2024, and UPC 0 89947 30206 4. According to the Van's recall, some of the packs of waffles may contain undeclared wheat.”

it’s disability pride month so i want to talk about one of my least favorite stigmas around celiac disease
in lots of media, being gluten free is played as a joke or something someone is to be annoying/pretentious. the amount of times i’ve heard jokes like that is honestly disheartening.
it also doesn’t help with the general population’s belief that celiac disease/gluten sensitivities are not serious. i’ve been diagnosed with celiac disease for 3 years now, i’ve been gluten free for about 4, and it has substantially improved my quality of life. i can’t afford risking cross-contamination because it leaves me sick for days. nearly every time i have a reaction to gluten, it’s hard for me to even drink water the next day because my body is an absolute mess. i’m miserable and fatigued for days until my body heals. not to mention the long term effects that have left me unable to stand/walk around for extended periods of time because my joints are pretty weak.
being gluten free NEEDS to be taken seriously. it’s not a choice i’ve made because i’m hoping on the latest fad, its not a preference, it’s an autoimmune disorder.

I'm chronically ill. I'm disabled physically and mentally. I live a rough life from day to day. People always tell me how strong I am.
This may be with the best of intentions but in all honesty I'm not strong, I'm very weak from being broken down every single second of my life from my chronic illnesses.
I don't get to live my life, I'm surviving not thriving.

I love you people with autoimmune conditions. I love you people with visible bodily symptoms. I love you people with invisible symptoms. I love you people explaining their interesting diets at every dinner party. I love you people struggling to explain what’s happening to them. I love you people with brain fog and fatigue and sleeplessness and pain. I love you people who have a bag full of medications and I love you people who don’t have any. I love you people with Hashimoto’s disease and psoriasis and celiac disease and crohn’s disease and everything else. I love you people battling for their mental health. I love you people making peace with their bodies. I love you people at war with themselves. I love you people discovering how to love a body that is trying desperately to love you back. I love you.

still trying to sort through the layers of this ableism & antifatness but it’s particularly painful that society treats eating gluten-free as something rooted in a desire for weight loss when
i gained more weight in the year after figuring out i have celiac than any other year of my life
including going up two shirt sizes
& going from being read as (small)fat but not having any access issues around size separate from mobility aids to being outside the bounds of straight sizing
because my body can absorb nutrients now
& for most people who ‘need’ to be eating gluten-free, you will gain weight!! & we, including those of us who were already fat, should be given space to celebrate that!! hallelujah that my body is still here to grow!!

Having celiac/coeliac disease is so bizzare, like it's all casual that eating gluten will give me cancer or dissolve the inside of my intestine so it can't do anything and I'll starve to death even while feasting like a king like I'm in some kind of Lovecraftian horror... and then everywhere I turn people are making "hehe this person is sooooo annoying for being gluten free" jokes

wait ok so technically this is for my fellows with dietary restrictions (specifically celiac disease in my case), but i guess it could also branch out to people with physical disabilities as well, and i'm curious.
reblog for bigger sample sizes pls :)

This is not BG3 related at all disclaimer, just blowing off steam about my life:
My girlfriend just got diagnosed with Celiac disease, and with her circumstances and diagnosis, that means no gluten and no dairy forever (as far as we know currently)
She's devastated and goddamn it's hard to see someone you love so sad, but I'm taking the fuck it we ball approach
If she's no gluten and no dairy, guess what so am I - bread can kiss my ass!!!!!!!!!!
It's going to be a huge change but FUCK IT WE BALL!! I've already made a Pinterest, I'm following a bunch of new celiac Youtubers, I am going to learn to make the tastiest damn gf and df meals and baked goods ever conceived or I will die trying AND I will be that girl calling the restaurant beforehand if we go out to make sure everything is legit and safe
This is my whole life now this is my new personality, BG3 is now my second personality, I'm Celiac chick now

“you can’t let x control your life” if it didn’t i would die. if i slack off a bit or become careless (even by accident!) it would hurt or kill me. true, i can’t do everything you and others can. and it sucks. but if i want to stay safe, then x has to control my life. i’m not sorry.

So little thing that I learned recently; under the FDA, drug manufacturers are not required to disclose presence of major allergens in their products. While most medications do not contain gluten-containing ingredients, if you have any food allergy you need to make sure it's on file with your pharmacy, and speak with your pharmacist to find out how they flag for allergens in their system. Sometimes you may need to contact the manufacturer--if so, have the drug NDC (National Drug Code)# on hand, as they often need that to look it up. You can get this information (as well as manufactuer name) from your pharmacy.

Fellow celiacs, be wary of So Delicious ice cream. They took the warning label that says it's cross contaminated with gluten off, and even claimed to now make the gluten free ice cream on separate lines from their ice cream with gluten.
I'm calling bullshit. My sister and I ate it (rather excitedly) and got pretty sick. It sucked.
There's still cross contamination of some sort happening in their facilities and they're just not warning about it anymore. If you're sensitive to cross contamination, don't eat this ice cream. It's not safe.

Tried a new restaurant yesterday and got burned. 🫠 But at least I can show y'all what I do for flareups. Part of why I like having tinctures on hand is because it makes it easier to grab something when I feel bad.
I hope this helps y'all next time you have tummy troubles!

so I saw that post about asexuals with gluten allergies, and as someone with celiac disease who’s on the ace spectrum, I need to know:
