#if you're trying to make something gluten free for someone with an allergy you gotta be careful and fully read the labels

the amount of people I've encountered who think that "organic" and "gluten free" are the same thing would almost be funny, if i didn't have celiac and therefore have to worry that someone's good intentions were going to make me violently ill bc they made something with organic but not gluten free ingredients

#text post #if you're trying to make something gluten free for someone with an allergy you gotta be careful and fully read the labels #on all of the meal's components #and if that's too stressful then I'd personally rather just be told 'hey you should probably bring your own food' #also yes im aware celiac isn't the same as a gluten allergy but it's easier for me to just call it an allergy #than explain to everyone that it's actually an autoimmune disease and gluten will cause real damage to my body #especially bc people ALWAYS ask 'well like.... what does eating gluten actually DO to you?' #which is imo deeply personal and also rude to ask
