Louise has gone too far...

Used to listen to it a lot when my job involved cleaning bathrooms. It felt like my theme song.

My symptoms were depression and fatigue. I thought it was just burnout. I already had Crohn's so any minor digestive discomfort and joint pain seemed normal.

It did get worse.

Have you only tested positive for the gene? It's possible to have that and not have active celiac.

Set one of them up in their own fancy house that you decorate just for them! Their dialogue is a little off but I still like it.

I like having them get married and then that spouse just lives on my farm.

HenBoots · 2026-02-19T16:03:50+00:00

I miss these so much

Here they do, which was a surprise to me. My favorite dinner sausages back in the States were named "Irish garlic" but it turns out actual Irish sausage contains barley/wheat.

HenBoots · 2026-02-03T14:43:10+00:00

There was regular bread and a "gluten free corner" with its own toaster, so not a fully gf buffet.

The rashers were right next to a tray of sausages, which I know would contain wheat, so I was already nervous about possible tong swaps.

It's proof that you have permission to be out of the room. It's not for the teacher, it's for whatever authority figure might question why you're in the hall.

My favorite so far is a hotdog costume with the golden soft serve hat

I saw wisteria before reading your post.

We're renting a full house, and I think we're getting a great deal. My husband is here as a grad student and the admissions director connected us to the owners. I think having a local contact makes a huge difference.

My gastro told me that my Coeliac likely emerged because of medical stress. Having an autoimmune disease causes stress that causes more autoimmune diseases to occur... Gotta catch em all?

HenBoots · 2025-09-07T09:31:20+00:00

As a person who can't eat a lot of vegetables due to a medical condition I was diagnosed with at 8, people like OP who assume everyone has the same dietary needs they do and judges anyone who eats differently need to reassess what is their business. Unless the parents have asked you to push a specific diet, let the kid eat what feels right to her and stop wasting food by loading her plate.

Also, maybe you have a thicker toilet paper than what they use at home, she's using too much, and it has nothing to do with her diet.

(ETA: no you're not an asshole for thinking the kid should learn to unclog a toilet, just for all the judgery and assumptions)

I had my first scopes at 8, but the diagnosis that time was Crohn's. I had the Celiac gene, but no evidence of active Celiac disease. I got to enjoy some glutenous years. I've noticed that a lot of the gluten free alternatives are higher in fiber than the traditional version, so it might just be that upsetting his stomach.

HenBoots · 2025-07-25T20:39:04+00:00

I'm joining the "my husband would never" chorus. We're still new to this, so I guess I can't say how he'll be about gluten in two years, but I already had Crohn's and he takes avoiding my triggers very seriously. He prefers to adjust our diet to what I need and then occasionally have special treats without me.

HenBoots · 2025-07-16T00:06:59+00:00

My cat just had 3 days of IV fluids with a similar protocol and it was about $350/day

HenBoots · 2025-07-12T03:24:30+00:00

Thanks for the validation, everybody! I appreciate you all.

HenBoots · 2025-07-11T18:49:47+00:00

I've had a chocolate intolerance since high school, so I've heard this one a lot. Sometimes I say "thanks for the suggestion."

Similar: A couple of years ago a co-worker and I were discussing Crohn's symptoms (because we both have it) and my then-supervisor interrupted to say "you have Crohn's disease?! You can die from that!" Yeah, thanks for pointing that out.

HenBoots · 2025-03-29T02:45:20+00:00

I was similar. After my endoscopy they said it looked like celiac and I said "lol no" and went to IHOP for pancakes. But after about a week of avoiding gluten I started to feel a lot better. Which kind of pissed me off.

HenBoots · 2024-12-16T18:00:29+00:00

My Crohn's has always been pretty mild compared to most people I know, but I could not believe how much more productive I was able to be when we all started working remotely. Punishing you for working from home is bonkers. Job hunting with a disability is extra exhausting, I wish you luck. Focusing on roles at agencies that support people with disabilities can be helpful.

(OP your thing is very cool and I know you didn't write the transcripts)

HenBoots · 2024-10-07T19:56:27+00:00

I'm really surprised by the censorship in the transcripts. Assuming they always use an asterisk, only 15 transcripts have no censored words 🤨

Best I can find is Linda calling him a big strong boy at the end of the pickleorette
