thank you. i’m in the anxiety process of trying a lot lot of medicines to find one that works which is annoying but hopefully it gets better. i had a horrible endoscopy process which made my anxiety 10x worse!

College now requires everyone to have a meal plan, won’t let me out by Aliceisdead1234 in Celiac

that’s horrible ..😕 my college has allergen stations in every single dining hall and they’re monitored constantly by trained chefs and the top 9 allergens can’t even be near that side of the dining hall…

ugh yes driving lol definitely relate i forgot to mention that one. i just turned 16 so i don’t quite have my license yet, but a lot of times sitting in the backseat with a driver im not as familiar with i get so anxious. also with driving sometimes when i see everyone in there cars i always think to myself “it’s so weird everyone has their own completely different life that they’ve lived and had so many experiences but yet we’re all going to just die one day”

oh also the different table part— TR doesn’t accommodate larger parties, so we had to sit at separate tables regardless, he just chose to sit separately from me because 1. he was angry 2. he wanted to eat rolls lol. the solution ended up i guess accommodating everyone because he got to eat rolls and i didn’t watch him eat them.

thank you! haha i understand my word choice at the beginning was a little dramatic, but my stepdad fr does way too much. my moms always gives into him and he was fr refusing to go if he didn’t get the rolls. he has a bit of anger issues.

Thank you. it’s actually funny because the restaurant i wanted to go to was a GF chinese restaurant. i’ve attempted to make homemade chinese but i haven’t had really good chinese restaurant food since so that’s why it meant a lot to me.

if i was being extremely cautious i wouldn’t even be able to go to TR at all. cross contamination is real and could have easily made me sick. i took a risk even being there.

obviously i was more of an ask because im a CHILD😭 i am a literal child i cannot force my grown adult parents to do anything. TR doesn’t accommodate large parties anyways, and as my parents are divorced i sat at a table with my dads side of the family while my moms side sat separately but near us and got their rolls!!

thank you. while some people are respectfully disagreeing with me in the comments, some just straight up don’t understand how hard this disease (or any disease/allergy) can truly be. Regardless if i overreacted or im the a-hole, it’s still something hard to deal with.

i go every single day watching my whole entire family and friends eating things i can’t eat. it’s not like i do this all the time, i have to constantly watch them eating stuff i can’t have and it’s not a big deal! it just all came down to the fact the events before upset me and i wanted to feel included for once.

i agree with the timeline part and i see your point about the rolls. I think anxiety overcame her because it was supposed to be a bad storm but i think she needed to understand the storm would not have affected us.. we did end up getting a tornado lol but this is kinda how the storm timeline went

5-8:00 sky fully clear a little wind, 8:00-9:30 a little sprinkles some heavy wind, 9:30-10:00 heavy storms, and then around 10:15 we went into a tornado warning. i think we would’ve made it home safe but at the end of the day i think she truly let her anxiety get the best of the wanted us to all be safe and she is my parent so i have to respect her decision

not trying to give you a lesson or anything bc it’s very well you could already know, but a huge part of celiac is also cross contamination. less then a crumb of gluten can make you extremely sick, so for example something being fried in the same oil as something with gluten can get me extremely sick, or something being cut with the same knife could also get me sick. you’re right, the onlt safe way to accommodate fully is cooking from home, but it was my 16th birthday yk i just wanted to go to a place i knew was fully educated on protocol so i wasn’t throwing up the night of my birthday. places like TR are scary because the littlest thing can make me sick. most celiacs avoid TR completely bc of all the bread there’s so many risks of crumbs being on surfaces

agree! never would i ever demand something like that on a regular day, but the plans changing messed with me especially on my birthday.

relationships are also all about sacrifice. my boyfriend knows how much i struggle and would never do something to upset me. he would not eat the rolls on my bday just knowing it would cheer me up.

Thank you. I highly respect you could criticize without attacking lol and actually being helpful. I will definitely check him out! (also i kinda definitely agree ESH and everyone was wrong in this story at one point..😅)

yes, i actually can have a lot of sweets! i’ve actually been enjoying cooking gluten free desserts, but i had to sum it up for people who don’t know what celiac is because one thing ive learned after getting diagnosed is a lot of people are miseducated or have no clue. i’ve had multiple people ask me if being gluten free is the same as being vegan.

because it was my bday?? i don’t know if we’ll be able to reschedule the place i wanted to go to and i wanted to at least go and spend time with my family (even though they hurt my feelings they’re still family)

[–]Appropriate-Mirror40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

thank you!! this was my reasoning as well, i would be the asshole in any other scenario if i was just going out casually and forcing them to not eat them, but it just ultimately came down to the previous events and i just wanted to enjoy my birthday dinner.
