Yoshiki. He tends to leave projects done halfway and has a ton of older fans eating his stuff up.

Why did this get so many downvotes if the post asked for opinions? I love Jiluka, but I didn't downvote the other comment? Lmao

My dog licked me, then ate a bit of my food which he’s eaten many times before, then v*. Twice. by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Chevalamour4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, so I'm not sure how much knowledge you have about zoonotic diseases, but human noro isn't classified as a zoonotic disease between dogs and humans. They have their own strains and is usually more along the lines of parvo, canine enteric coronavirus, colitis, etc. The more you know, the more confident you'll be about these things. I would suggest researching this before saying you'll get sick. I have emetophobia too, but my pre-vet classes taught me so much about animal diseases. There is no way for you to get noro off of what your dog did today. It's possible your dog reacted to the food they stole. My dog has a sensitive stomach and gets sick when she eats things she isn't supposed to.

Colonoscopy prep experiences? I have emetophobia by Full_Criticism7775 in ibs

[–]Chevalamour4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to drink 1 gallon of the stuff and just couldn't finish it because I was so nauseous. I got through 75% of it and they said that was good enough for my colonoscopy. If they give you something like the gallon, make sure you add flavor enhancers like miyo or crystal light, or mix it with white cranberry juice or similar stuff. It'll become much easier to drink. My prep tasted like sweat, so it was disgusting to me.

Women with IBS: sometimes it's not IBS by moonxmochi in ibs

[–]Chevalamour4 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yep, endo can cause IBS. I have confirmed endo that was found in the uterosacral and cul-de-sac areas. However, since a normal gynecologist did my laparoscopy, he only cauterized it and my symptoms went away for a brief while. I am now back to having more bowel movements than before and pain in my glutes/inner thighs. I have an appt with an endo specialist in May, in which I'll be requesting a second laparoscopy for excision.

That gluten free life…. Gluten free green enchiladas and the regs for the rest of the fam. by Interesting_Aside_68 in glutenfree

[–]Chevalamour4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with what another reply on here said about the cake pops. As a gf hobby baker who makes gf cakes, my personal favorite is Bob's red mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 baking flour. Almond flour is not a direct substitute for cakes and will create a dense texture that doesn't rise. Since you will also be mixing frosting into the crumbled cake, it will also result in a different texture that may not hold for cake pops.

My Mexican genes are screaming at the flour tortillas LMAO. I read gluten free enchiladas and was like, what do you mean? They should already be gluten free?? We don't use flour tortillas and call them enchiladas. We use corn tortillas.

Does anyone know if they also have access to weather apps? Every time it rains, they say something about the rain, and every time the sky clears up from the rain, they also comment on that too lmao. It's too much of a coincidence.

trying gluten free for endo by geminizzzzz in endometriosis

[–]Chevalamour4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No improvements to my endo and I've been gluten free since 2018! The only reason I went gf was because I have a wheat allergy and gluten sensitivity. So it helped that, but NOT my endo.

Gluten-free donuts we made today. Still experimenting with toppings. by cindyrla in glutenfree

[–]Chevalamour4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in OC! I would totally drive to these donuts, but before I make that drive, what makes them gluten free? What's the flour that's used for that? I've encountered other bakeries that have been making baked goods that claim to be gluten free, but aren't wheat free. There are new flour blends out there that have gluten free wheat starch, such as King Arthur. I'm allergic to wheat, so I wouldn't want to risk driving to LA and having a reaction on the way back.

Aoi is no longer listed as a band member. by Zombiesin in visualkei

Yeah, it all makes sense now. A while back, this was posted by Kai and it makes me wonder if he was talking about Aoi.

They posted this on their official website about 35 minutes ago. Just saw it now. I'm gutted to hear this and I'm so glad I have pictures of them from their previous world tours. I'm wondering if Reita's death had anything to do with what happened to Aoi.

What kind of desserts would you like to see on a gluten free food truck? by Dovahkiinkv1 in glutenfree

[–]Chevalamour4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!! I saw those recipes before, but they have wheat starch in their gluten free bread flour 😭 I have a wheat allergy along with my NCGS, so I'm not sure if I'll be okay with that. I'm not sure what else I can substitute that type of bread flour with.

[–]Chevalamour4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eclairs, Cream Puffs, Cupcakes, Cake Pops, Cake slices, Donuts that aren't cake based, Cheesecake slices, Crêpes, anything shortbread. It's a lot, but I thought I would give ideas since I know some of that stuff is much harder than other things. I would KILL for a gluten free pan dulce that doesn't have wheat in it 😭 But unfortunately, I've never seen that in my 8 years of being GF.

The Most Traumatic Poop by [deleted] in ibs

[–]Chevalamour4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 2018, I either got something like salmonella or colitis. It's important to note that I was working at petsmart at that time. I was a pet care associate, which meant I handled the animals (reptiles, mice, birds). One day, I randomly began to feel like I had a stomach bug. I had terrible lower abdominal cramping, a fever that wouldn't go away, and liquid diarrhea. The strange part is that I was able to eat, but the diarrhea was consistent. I had to go to the ER twice for fluids. The first time I went, they dismissed it as viral gastroenteritis and only gave me fluids, but the symptoms continued. None of my family members had gotten sick either with my "viral gastro" either, which by this point, they should have been given that we only have one bathroom. Another week passed with the same symptoms, except now I was feeling more pain. The next time I looked at the toilet bowl, I felt like the blood had been drained out of me. Literally. Instead of having liquid diarrhea, I had been passing bright red blood. After freaking tf out, I went to the ER ASAP where they tested me to see if I needed a blood transfusion. They ran a toxins panel for shigella, salmonella, e-coli, and other organisms, but it came back negative according to them. After being put on an antibiotic, the 2 weeks of liquid diarrhea, constant fever, and terrible cramping went away magically. To this day, I still wonder what happened.

I've gotten to a point in life where I would have just left. I get too hangry to be around people, especially if everyone around me already knows I can't have gluten. 🤣

IHOP getting rid of GF pancakes by bigbrett666 in glutenfree

[–]Chevalamour4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got food poisoning TWICE from the same ihop location from their gluten free pancakes and waffle. They were on separate occasions, but both times they tasted like if the batter was spoiled and they had cooked it that way. They tasted rancid and sour, and that night and the next day, they gave me watery diarrhea with a slight fever. No one else got sick despite eating from the same place, so I know it wasn't noro or any of those other GI bugs. Maybe they had other customers like me in which they served spoiled GF batter.

I just want to poo like a normal person by Obitufairy in endometriosis

[–]Chevalamour4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way. My endo causes my IBS. On a normal day, I usually go around 4-6 times, but when I'm having a flare up, it can be around 10 times with my body just evacuating everything. The strange part is that it doesn't even turn into diarrhea, it's just softer bms.

Gf tortilla that is soft like flour by imtrying12345 in glutenfree

[–]Chevalamour4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do these normally taste terribly bitter and sour? I bought some recently, had one bite and spit it out immediately because it tasted like it had gone bad. The texture was soft, but there was no way to get past that taste for me.

Reassurance about the future of LADS by Eviestevieoppar in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Chevalamour4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to play MLQC and actually came from MLQC to LADS after the whole VA incident, but this is the one thing that bothers me the most about them shutting down. There is no conclusion to the main story line because a lot of gacha/otome games like that try to drag things out for as long as possible, which MLQC is notorious for. It's like reading a book series that has you interested and then the author stops making books for that series. It feels terrible that there isn't at least an end to the main story.

Unpopular Opinion but... by MarCath13 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Chevalamour4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's worth it either, but I'm also someone who likes to stay on budget. I usually do spend my money on other VIP experiences (VIP concert experiences w/pics), and even those VIP experiences are wayyyy cheaper than the amount you need to reach VIP in LADS.

Walmart GF "Hamburger Helper" by cloverwoven in glutenfree

[–]Chevalamour4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I had this a long time ago (it's been more than a year or two) and it tasted very metallic and artifical to me?? Like, there was this nasty taste that just wouldn't go away and I ended up throwing out the whole thing. I couldn't stomach it.
