#but yeah definitely don't just switch to eating foods labelled as gluten free without checking they're also kosher for Passover

on a more serious note I don’t think people realise how socially alienating being unable to eat gluten is. Imagine spending almost every single house party standing in a corner while everyone else gets to enjoy pizza and cake. If your host is thoughtful maybe they'll makes sure there's a vegetable platter for you. But there have been times that stale corn chip crumbs out of the bottom of the bag were the only food provided that I could eat.
Pesach is such a relief in comparison. I don’t even really have to worry about gluten contamination! Barring the singular exception of matzah (something that is clearly marked and has an easily accessible gluten free alternative that most people report tastes the exact same as the regular thing), I get to eat exactly the same things as everyone else at the same time with complete peace of mind. For every course. It's so lovely
So.. yeah. If you're keeping kosher for Passover this week, as you try to navigate restaurants and social gatherings while avoiding wheat, keep your gluten free friends in mind. They have to live like this year round.
ahhh pesach is soon I’m so so so excited!! A highly ritualistic scripted meal where wheat and wheat byproducts are so strictly banned you’re not even allowed to have them in the house??? Holiday made in a lab for my autistic gluten intolerant ass.
