#god damn celiac

[this-bastard]

Having an argument about your forced diet with your parents isn't fun. 0/10 would not recommend

He says it's a choice, I say it's for my health. She just complains about having to accommodate my requirements. I can't say what I want to say because I don't want to be taken out of school. It's not my fucking choice to be gluten intolerant, it's a must.

Sorry for the vent, just had to get this out somewhere.

[squilfmybeloved]

curious about Star Lord

😳🤢🦸

😳: Depends on the situation, so definitely a five out of ten on the embarrassment scale. He’s definitely most comfortable with Rocket and Gamora. He’s definitely more uncomfortable around anyone who presents themselves as a dignitary and anyone who could pose a serious threat and hasn’t revealed what allegiances they have. If they’re a villain who’s trying to gauge what his weaknesses are, Quill definitely doesn’t want them to note down “gassy”, which in turn makes him wary of people offering him food. Probably with significantly better reason than being embarrassed, to be fair.

(Edit)

His most embarrassing moment was definitely trying to demonstrate a flying kick he taught himself (or saw in Deathsport) to the others. He raised his leg, and readied himself to let out a wicked awesome battle cry as he leapt. Except instead of shouting “Death is on tonight’s menu!”, he let out a long *Pppppllllllllllrrrrtthhhhhhhhhh*, which resulted in the others dying laughing, Quill slinking off, and then sulking to Gamora about no one taking him seriously for an hour while she tried not to picture what just happened and crack up again. She ended up breaking, and laughing so hard she farted herself, and while it was unintentional, it definitely cheered Quill up.

🤢: As Star Lord, Quill encounters a ton of different species of sentient beings. Unlike Rick and Morty, he hasn’t encountered sentient farts. But dear God, Howard the Duck and every other Duck alien he’s met is the absolute worst after gluten free bread. They have a fucked up reverse gluten intolerance, and the majority of them think suddenly quacking is a good enough solution to cover things up. It’s not. The smell of rotting meat, pond scum and a little bit of mold is a smell Peter has actually vomited from, and he still has a tendency to gag when it happens, diplomacy be damned. (Then, he’s usually the one who forgot about their reverse celiac’s to begin with, so in a way, it’s karma.) (Star Lord Sez: ‘Stream the Brit Smith version from 2012.’)

🦸‍♂️: On the one hand, the Celestial Spark within him doesn’t help or hurt him with gas. On the other hand, once in a blue moon, in certain quadrants of the galaxy, his farts are visible to the naked eye. The rest of the Guardians decided to amuse themselves by waiting to see how long it would take for him to notice. It took four Earth hours and a Kree burrito for Quill to catch on. He was pretty embarrassed, but did make a bigger deal of this being Drax’s all-time record for keeping a secret. There was a pretty epic party once they got back to Knowhere.

My first oc writing (on here)

"Flowers." The man said quietly as he stared out the window. "Is the other awake?" He added. "No, I made sure they weren't." Flowers could see the man's smile in the reflection of the glass. "Wonderful, you did me well. I can't have him intruding on our plans."

"I understand.. Where is Celica, Sir?" Flowers asked quietly. "She'll be here soon, she's supposed to be making sure that Cattie doesn't start to ask questions."

"..." Silence shared between the two, someone's approaching, it's not surprising. Being high ranking beings, of course they would have people visiting. They know it's someone working with them, the heels clicking on the ground indicate the very woman who put the plan in his head.

The door opened slowly and quietly, the woman closed it behind her, flowers shunned her eyes, looking towards the ground. Trying to shield her eyes from the woman's reflection on the floor.

"Rio." The woman says as she approaches the window. "Mrs Aria, nice to see you." She snapped her fingers, her nails clicking together as she did. "Stop the small talk with me Rio.. Where's Celiac? I expected everyone to be here by the time I arrived."

The blinds closed, leaving the room completely darkened. A creature stepped out of the shadows gracefully. "Apologies Mrs Aria, I had business to attend with Cattie. The people and her are growing suspicious, I can no longer randomly disappear at night, they all expect me to rule."

"No no, don't apologize. I just need to check in with all of you. Flowers? What's the problem with Snakes?" Flowers looked up, she messed with her fingers a bit. "Mrs Aria, Snakes is growing suspicious, he knows the body is awake when we both are supposed to be in our slumbers."

Aria turned around and slowly made her away around the table, clicking her fingers on the mirrored table. "Oh? Well, you are The God." "Correction, we are The Gods." Aria started at The God. "Then make it to where you're the only one controlling the body."

She stared dead at the flowered woman, her eyes cold and empty. "You want me to kill my brother?" "Did I stutter Flowers?" "No.. You didn't." A hm sparked from Aria. "I didn't think so, I'll see you all next week."

Aria flipped her long black hair and walked towards the door, her crispy red heels clicking on the floor. The door opened and closed. Celica left as well, letting the shadows consume her.

Flowers went for the door before she heard a laugh, she turned towards Rio. "Sir?" She asked with a worried tone in her voice. "Is there a problem?"

"Flowers, did you know. I was once nothing? A weak nobody. Now, I'm a ruler. I am God. No one can stop me." Flowers stared. "What? Mrs Aria is the complete ruler, she rules over all the dimensions. I don't understand."

Rio turned around, the wrapped bandage around his head slowly fell, revealing another two eyes that were darker than blood. "I am God." He started. "Once I get that blasted woman out of my way, I'll be unstoppable."

...

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Join me Flowers, be unstoppable with me. Take over with me. Become.. The God."

Flowers looked down on the table, staring at her own reflection, seeing her brother. "What about Snakes? Won't he know? I-I.. He's more powerful than me, he knows how to-" "Shut it. Just, say yes."

...

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Count me in.. Rio."

"Please," Rio stepped towards the table. He stared at her for a second before walking towards her, once he reached her he slid his hand up her neck and raised her head. "call me Agares." Flowers stared at him. "Okay.. Agares.."

"Good, now leave; and figure out how to get rid of that damn Snake. I won't be stopped."

Rio/Agares

Me before learning I was celiac: I can eat so many god damned natures path pop tarts, you don’t even know how much money I spend on these damned pop tarts I can eat so god damned many

Me after learning I was celiac: I can eat so many god damned bobos pop tarts, you DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH FUCKING MONEY I SPEND ON THESE GOD DAMNED GLUTEN FREE POP TARTS

[arctic-hands]

I hate that I actually did change my mind about having kids because I feel like I'm just encouraging that kind of condescension against child free folk.

I have no idea why but three years ago my biological clock kicked into overdrive. Maybe it's all the death going on that my brain decided it's up to me to repopulate the Earth or something. It's weird.

I don't even know if it'll ever happen, given my health (especially since celiac increases the chances of infertility) and I'll have to go off most of my various meds, and my economic situation is abysmal. Oh also, because of my health I can never get pregnant if abortion becomes outlawed on the federal level, because I'd be a high risk and might need need an abortion to save my life.

I'd love to adopt too, but having spoken to people who wanted to adopt, the domestic foster system right now is more geared towards biological family reunion (for better or worse. Personally I think there shouldn't be a blanket policy going one way or another because there is a shitton of nuance to reasons why someone would have been taken from their parents. But what do I know I was just an abused kid that CPS refused to do anything about), and international adoption is damn near child trafficking with its lack of oversight and lying to the biological mothers or even flat out kidnapping the children to put up for adoption in America (looking at you American Baptists in the twenty ten Haitian earthquake).

I'd like to foster if I can't adopt, but either way I'm not sure I'd ever be approved given my life situations. And I'd want/need a house or at least a large apartment.

Anyway I said three years ago I'd wait until my thirties. And I turn thirty next month, god help me.

[otgwbgyu]

so basically tomorrow or sometime soon i’m going to the doctor to get examined for celiac bc it runs in the family slayyy

lowkey thinking it MIGHT be IBS but idk tbh

i compiled a list of symptoms from abt ~4 weeks ago in notes app:

god it’s just been so bad i’m gonna fuckinggg kill myself i’ve been so sick all the damn time nearly passing out and fully passing out nausea that won’t go away and like fighting for my life to not throw up. and now i’m scared to eat and even drink water bro. like im already scared to gain weight so ig this is a blessing in disguise? idk tbhhh 😭😭 it’s good for my ed but for everything else it’s TERRIFYING bc it’s like an actual symptom of something else

[jeanjauthor]

Got help with the last-minute prep, AND help with the dishwashing. My BFF helped with a lot of the cooking prep as everything had to come together, and my BFF's SO always ALWAYS helps with the dishwashing (also made fantastic collard greens this year, perfected the amount of vinegar for pep but not excessive sourness, really formed a great palate cleanser for everything else!), so that was huge help. Especially with my heart going, "Nope, iz CHA-CHA TIME!!" at random intervals...

Also helps that everyone brings assigned dishes, and we ALL double-check for allergen no-nos every damn time. (No new ones added, but it's all gluten-free because of 2 folks with celiac disease, no beans, pulses, legumes, nuts of any kind because of epi-pen levels of allergy, no onions garlic chives etc because of an unavoidable revulsion to onions--think of how some people cannot stand cilantro, how it tastes like eating soap, but ramp it up 100x to stomach-churning levels, no mushrooms because it's a migraine trigger, no flesh-of-olives mixed into anything because it creates genuinely terrifying levels of acid reflux...)

And yet, with all of those restrictions, we always end up cooking an absolutely delicious feast. This time around, the newcomers (mother and 2 young daughters, going through a separation/divorce), they brought deep-fried brussels sprout halves, and it was soooo good...

Also, for some magical reason I cannot fathom, a purely turkey-only bone broth, overnighted in my slow cooker, was so GOOD, I didn't add ANY seasoning to it. (Okay, rice flour and unsalted butter for a roux, but that was literally it.) And yes, I was able to pre-make the stock (bone broth) in advance, because I followed Adam Ragusea's video instructions for deboning a turkey in advance. Done it 3 times in a row, and though it's a lot of work, I really prefer doing it that way, because I do it 2 days in advance, I get fantastic broth, I can pick out all the meat that went into the slow cooker for extras / leftovers (tedious but tasty), and all that work is done 1 day in advance, so I can cook the turkey in less than 1 hour on the day of, and not have to worry about "did it get cooked AAAALLLL the way through...?" because of bones, etc, being in the way.

(Also, you can get the flavor of the turkey by using some of the broth on the stuffing in a baking casserole, and not have to worry nearly so much food handling safety from having to thoroughly overcook a stuffed turkey.)

...but dear god yes, having to do the dishes at the end is only bearable if lots of people help...

Oh god, easy. Cinnabons with the cheesecream glaze. Fucking brutal how dare they make such an organismic food. I also love NY fries. Ugh, their cheese and bacon with aoli(idkhowtospellit) dip is just damn.

I'd also have to say nachos, like the fully loaded, God given nachos.

I don't really go to chocolate that much just because alot of them I can't eat since I'm celiac but I would fuck up an entire container of Nutella if that shit had no calories.

[stefanispeaks]

im so god damn sick of having celiac and being sick all the time even when i am SO careful not to eat gluten

I watched the Brain on Fire movie on netflix and I am crying just like that episode of Grey's Anatomy with Demi Lovato and fuck man. It sucks being told you're just crazy when you have neurological problems. Psychiatric illnesses are neurological problems and those illnesses can very well be symptoms too. Like I know my migraines and chiari malformation are the true answer because the meds are working and I am less anxious and less depressed now but I'm still going to have neurological damage because, guess what, migraines can cause brain damage. But now they're not getting worse. They are steady. They happen less often. They have meds to keep me comfortable and continue on living alongside my migraines because that's just how my brain works.

Now, to a not neurological related thing is my digestive problems and when she said her doctor found her, I resonated with that because, to me, I interpreted that as her doctor finding the her that is her brain and how she can finally figure out how to accommodate herself. And sometimes those accommodations are just meds. Sometimes they do require things outside of meds. And maybe the real Susannah Cahalan does not perceive that quote the same way but that's how that quote resonated with me. The doctor (and also the neuro physical therapist) who diagnosed me with chiari and migraines found me. The autism community found me by telling me that my behavior is me and my brain not me just being a weird outcast. Now I hope this gastroenterologist I'm seeing now finds me again whether that be celiac disease and the possibly permanent damage with that or something else wrong with my digestive tract or maybe my digestive tract is just a factor in something larger than I can understand.

I hope everyone out there without answers can be found too.

And I do want to clarify that sometimes some people are just mentally ill and that's still a neurological problem. They still need to be taken seriously. They still deserve to be treated with kindness and compassion. They still deserve doctors giving them the required care and attention. It justs sucks how mentally ill people are used as scapegoats to dismiss someone else. That doesn't help mentally ill people. That doesn't help anyone at all. And you know what? Maybe they are anxious. Maybe they are depressed. Maybe that anxiety and depression is being amplified by being in pain all the god damn time.

Update! I love oversharing!

My appendix likes to stay hidden from the scans, apparently, so nothing came up and everything was normal on all of them. Which is good! But it also means that now I move onto the next round of testing…which is a CT scan. And it means there’s a chance I’ve still got appendicitis. Fun.

I’m literally terrified to get that done (loud tube with radiation for THIS autist with claustrophobia and sensory issues? No thank you) but I have to do it to rule out appendicitis. Also! Sometimes CT scans can detect early cancer or tumours that wouldn’t be found otherwise (stuff that hasn’t caused any symptoms yet), which is especially scary. On top of all this, I’m going to a GI Dr. for all of the scopy procedures, which probably won’t happen until the new year but yeahhh. Not thrilled about any of it, but unfortunately IBDs and celiac run in the family, so it’s best to get it checked.

Why couldn’t my “hot girl with stomach issues” shtick have just stayed a fun little quirk instead of needing half a dozen procedures in the span of a god damn month?! I hate it here.

Yesterday I went to my doctor to see wtf is going on that’s giving me abdominal pain, and it’s highly likely my appendix is the problem, which is scary because I don’t want surgery. Going to get a bunch of tests done in an hour to see what’s going on in there. Let’s hope it goes alright!
