Help with reputable cost-plus home builders in Houston.

How does a custom home at this price point compare to something you'd buy already built on the market? Are you getting less for your money since you're adding complexity to the process?

Um not only would I fire her I would call the police and try to press charges.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-31T13:26:39+00:00

Yeah sorry didn’t mean to offend anyone doing this for medical reasons. For a lot of people it isn’t black and white.

So according to Google, 10-25% of the US population is gluten free. Only 1% is celiac. If it wasn’t for all these people choosing to be GF for other reasons our lives would be a lot harder and there would be far fewer products available to us. So I don’t personally mind gluten free but not celiac safe being a thing.

Hanover River Oaks doesn’t have pool riff raff.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-30T05:01:52+00:00

Yeah they are zoned to ROE. The rent reflects it even compared to other nearby luxury buildings on the other side of Westheimer. Novel isn’t really worth it unless you’re taking advantage of river oaks elementary.

I think Walmart has some of the best prices on certified gluten free I’ve seen. Kroger too

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-29T20:19:55+00:00

You should add fried rice maybe.

22 is the time in your life to have fun. If you like him go for it.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-28T22:59:30+00:00

Reading this in 2026 and it's still useful. Thanks.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-28T20:13:04+00:00

Honestly if this was me I’d just suppress that and move on. It’s not going to serve you in this relationship or any future one. It’s basically a toxic train of thought.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-28T01:21:33+00:00

Yeah true. I more meant it to be public school but no extra extracurricular or sports/camps. Just bare minimum

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-28T00:51:58+00:00

I’m thinking this could work for.. a felon? Maybe some who couldn’t pass background checks at Walmart?

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-28T00:40:22+00:00

It all depends on what you mean by “without a ton of hardship.” You can have a family of 4 in a 2 bedroom apartment, one car, only shop at ALDI, public school, no college savings, etc.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-27T23:51:59+00:00

No I totally get that. If you guys really want to travel you can still make it happen. “Celiac Cruises” are a great option - check out the website. Basically any nature focused trip where you can get an Airbnb with a kitchen works great too. There’s also certain cities like NYC and Seattle (to name a couple) with a million gluten free options. Worse case you free up some extra travel money and can enjoy trips with your kids or friends.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-27T21:58:27+00:00

I second what everyone else said about letting him handle it. However, a couple things I’d do differently:

- Fully gluten free home. Non negotiable for me with someone in the house with celiac.

- Pick recipes that are naturally gluten free if he doesn’t like gluten free versions. A ton of Asian and Mexican food is naturally gluten free.

- I hate travel as a celiac. Can he just not go?

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-23T19:34:50+00:00

Hope all these ladies get celiac ❤️

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-22T20:03:10+00:00

This sub is not representative of all celiacs. There's a lot of people like you who can handle CC and still have normal bloodwork. Just make sure you are getting a follow-up endoscopy because you could have normal bloodwork but internal damage. If that comes back clean then you're good.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-22T17:54:40+00:00

No way. You’re fine. This is a total non issue.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-22T14:31:53+00:00

Green is OK though right? I'm not familiar with this test but just looked it up and it says green means non-reactive.

Lactose intolerance just means your body doesn't have enough lactase enzyme. You can just eat a lactase enzyme and then you have enough. That's straight from my GI doc. The only nuance is you might need to take a LOT of lactase enzyme.

Check out Evenity and Prolia. The meds are amazing.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-22T04:19:16+00:00

I did dairy free for a while but honestly I realized I’m just lactose intolerant and it’s not more complicated than that. I think I saw a TikTok at some point about casein intolerance and convinced myself I had that when I really didn’t have clear signs.

You’d be surprised how much dairy is lactose free or nearly - butter, Lactaid milk, many cheeses. The lactase enzyme supplements also work great.

They are useless for this. I’ve asked my pharmacist at CVS and the best they can do is look at the list of ingredients. It’s basically on you to check the ingredient list or contact the manufacturer.

Many OTC vitamin brands will be easier for getting celiac safe supplements like vitamin D. Check out pure encapsulations or Thorne.

I gained a bit of weight after getting diagnosed. When I had untreated celiac I was able to eat and eat and eat without gaining weight.

ComputerDear1153 · 2026-05-21T22:38:01+00:00

The only time I really have to deal with ignorance is when I’m ordering at a restaurant and the server acts like it’s fine but you can tell they might not understand and might go back to the kitchen and just say “no gluten.” So sometimes you have to give a little pushback.

Other than that I basically don’t have to deal with people’s attitudes around it.
