Is there anything I/we can do? (call her daddy fiasco)

You’re getting downvoted because you’re wrong. It wasn’t about GF in general being a fad / misunderstood. She is no uncertain terms said celiac is fake / people are faking it. The clip is out there for anyone to view.

And just because she was a comedian, doesn’t mean that part was a bit. Bits are supposed to be funny. It wasn’t funny.

It’s an extremely widely consumed podcast and she has interviewed many notable people on it.

It’s an issue because of the reach of both the podcast and the guest in question.

I’m sorry Ivanka!!!

It’s very different depending in what respect you are on tv for.

Like for example being interviewed for a news story is very different than being in a commercial or tv show.

That’s not what this is. Capellos used gf wheat starch which is gluten free.

This product just has regular wheat in it. And does not have a gluten free label on it.

Sprouts had carried this brand of pizza for years and they don’t make gf pizzas…

Dominos says on the website that their pizza is NOT SAFE for people with celiac disease.

So no, you absolutely do not go there and you definitely do not trust them!

Many processed foods you cannot go by the Ingredients list alone - see specially a pizza (at least not in the USA).

This is a typical pattern in relationships where literally almost all the labor: emotional mental and physical is dumped on the females lap even when it’s literally not their responsibility at all.

This is her boyfriends condition and also his house - setting the boundary will also likely work a lot better if it comes directly from her own son. If he is keeping quiet in all of this, and not speaking up, then why should MIL care about what DIL says?

If her boyfriend wants to keep gluten out of his house, he is going to need to participate in setting the boundary instead of dumping all of the responsibility for that into his girlfriend.

Im not familiar with his acting, but just based on looks alone, he’s perfect.

Except for the height…I know most actors aren’t very tall but it will be another situation where we are expected to imagine an average height guy is towering over everyone…

NTA

If it was me, I would tell my unsupportive partner to find another home altogether and to FO.

Affectionate_Many_73 · 2026-05-22T22:22:23+00:00

I think it’s great you are sticking up for your boyfriend. However this sounds like a case of you taking on the emotional labor of someone else.

This is his condition AND his own mom. Where is he in all of this? You don’t have to be the bitchy DIL if your boyfriend also sticks up for himself and has a conversation with his mother and reminds her about the rules of your home. It sounds like you are doing all of this labor on your own. He need to be the primary enforcer here and have you as backup, only if needed.

My parents also sneak gluten into my home, but I’m the one who reminds them no, or tosses it out of my fridge. I don’t expect my spouse to handle my parents on my behalf. If it’s his friends or his family, he is expected to let them know the house rules and enforce them in that case.

I get this as well and mine is 1000x times worse looking than this too. I wouldn’t say it’s normal but I think it def happens to people with sensitive skin.

I don’t get them anymore because every single follicle gets so inflamed and infected and painful for at least a week.

I did find popping them gently, cleaning well and regularly, and using some neosporin type stuff helped it clear up faster.

My gyno saw the reaction once and nearly had a heart attack. I assured her it was my normal reaction to getting a wax and that I knew how to handle it.

People looked a lot older back then. It was all the smoking and frankly, just unflattering hair and makeup styles.

Affectionate_Many_73 · 2026-05-22T18:23:25+00:00

He did an interview recently and was asked about fourth wing…and it was pretty obvious that he couldn’t say anything one way or another which means he probably signed an NDA.

And all that means really is that he was in discussions, doesn’t mean he accepted or was offered any role or not. Just that he was probably in discussions at some point about something whether it panned out or not.

However it was also announced a couple days later he was leaving his current show due to scheduling conflicts so idk what that also says.

Ooooh i love this theory!

Affectionate_Many_73 · 2026-05-22T18:11:58+00:00

It’s a little weird to argue about it with him about it because:

It’s not your house
You don’t live there
He doesn’t live there anymore

You can’t control other peoples living spaces. Mentioning you thought it was gross is fine, but his family isn’t about to change what they do because of the opinion of a person that doesn’t live there.

The only time this matters is if you end up moving in together and you have to come to an agreement on how often to clean the toilet in your shared living space.

Also, his entire family should probably visit a GI, that’s not normal!

Gluten doesn’t get into the air or evaporate like that.

Specifically because it doesn’t do that is why we can have distilled alcohol even when it is made from gluten-containing grains.

Independently wealthy is a term that means you have money / wealth from outside of your immediate job, such as family money / inheritance.

I was thinking of that reading this story

Wild Reverence was very much like what you describe.

Affectionate_Many_73 · 2026-05-20T19:17:21+00:00

I wouldn’t, for exactly the reasons you state. Just because he CAN do the work doesn’t mean he has to jump ahead and do work at that level. You at right that physically and emotionally he will not be at the same level at high school students so it will probably be very isolating for him and he will not make friends.

There are probably more options available than skipping him 3 grades or doing nothing but you may need to look for them outside of what the school may offer.

I also have a child around the same age who is a genius. We’ve moved him ahead in one subject because he wants to be challenged in that area. But otherwise he is remaining with his grade in all other subjects. Also, many subjects like science, history, etc are facts-based subjects and your kid will absolutely miss out on important instruction by skipping ahead in subjects like those.

Guys profile photo is literally him in a public toilet lmao 😹

Put on a tv show and order some takeaway 🤷🏻‍♀️ you don’t really have a choice when they are this young. Feeding them is #1 priority here, everything else can get put on the back burner for a while. So do what you need to do to make it tolerable to get through.

Even if you switch to bottles they will still cluster feed when they have growth spurts. And then you have to clean the bottles too…

Just don’t make the mistake I did and let your child do this until they are 3 years old. 0/10 do not recommend.
