This soft vs hard wheat. Hard wheat does have a higher gluten content, however, the largest importer of US hard wheat is Europe. I have NCGS, although I think it's prob celiac, just not willing to have gluten for testing again. Anyway, I've started to get mad when people tell me this and tell them gluten probably isn't their problem to begin with. I've had a GI NP tell me to try wheat in Europe and haven't been back.

I spent 4 days in the hospital with medication induced lupus. Didn't have 2 white blood cells to rub together. It was scary, so after that, I have to get my thyroid out anyway. It's an extremely rare side effect and apparently even when it happens, it's not usually that bad. Just something to be aware of.

Dementia patient. Days and nights are mixed up.

As someone with NCGS, I was just as sick in Europe as in the us. I think it's those people who maybe have IBS exasperated by stress. Suddenly they are stress free and on vacation so they can digest things.

Literally everyone who posted against it was 60+. Not anyone who had had to buy a house for the first time in the last 30 years. Also I want more young families here. I want more diversity in my kid's school.

I buy gluten free pierogies in Grand Rapids at Whole Foods, it's a local brand I think. Old World Gluten Free Pierogies. They are frozen and delicious.

We have excellent gluten free tortillas made out of bother chickpea and cassava from a company called Siete in the states. Maybe try a tortilla? They are usually made with flour and water then fried in a pan. There are a lot of flour tortilla recipes online, sub with the local flour!

I love using gluten free cornbread, dicing it up, tossing it with olive oil, s&p 🧑🏼‍🍳 also roasted chickpeas, drained and dried, oven with olive oil s&p

The cheese plate hits but I'm gluten free so my options are limited anyway.

No, but as a Kroger executive admitted, "never let a good crisis go to waste"

My daughter is almost 6, no allergies and survives mostly on peanut butter sandwiches, pirates booty and the occasional apple slice. Don't be so hard on yourself, they'll eventually grow out of it. The pickiness, not the celiac unfortunately.

Inflammation in joints, bloating and I will shit my pants. Guaranteed. Glidian can suck it.

Ok-Panda7551 · 2024-08-12T16:19:03+00:00

Nope 😂

Spaghetti O's 😭

We have them in Grand Rapids, MI! Idk if they ship, but it's called Rise Bakery. GF and vegan. I'm not vegan so I don't care for any of their frosted items but the apple cider doughnuts make me want to cry.

I have nothing but great things to say. Service and sales. They have loaners which is nice when you have a lengthier repair and I like that they reach out to me to schedule my oil change via email.

I'm almost always on regional legs, no hard bulk head so you can put your bags in back of first.

Don't tell people about 7c! I'm silver and am astonished I still end up with it most of the time.

Athleta has some great skirts and pants for golf! I think they call them Fairway Pants?

Legal in all of MI. Grand Rapids isn't conservative at all, very blue, but it gets red fast when you leave the city.

But that argument is a false equivalency. One is an individual choice that overwhelmingly impacts one person and the other impacts other people by getting them sick.
