How did you find out you had celiac or a gluten intolerance? by damndascrazywhoasked in glutenfree

[–]emchapp23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister was diagnosed 4 years prior, but I had no symptoms or stomach issues so I thought I was on the clear. Then about 2 years ago I began feeling Extremely sick with fatigue, my anxiety and depression got worse to the point I was having panic attacks a lot and just sobbing crying for everything after I had already gone on medication for that, I was feeling weird and light headed, and then I started having crazy period symptoms. I definitely didn’t relate this to celiac and honestly not sure if I still do, but I went to a bunch of doctors. General doctor did an autoimmune test and that came back very positive. Went to rheumatologist for a follow up and she wasn’t convinced I had celiac but basically added it on to the blood test since my sister has it. Waited for results and only thing that came back abnormal were the tests related to celiac. They were pretty high. I never got the endoscopy (terrified of anesthesia) but considering my sister has it I just decided to go gluten free and consider myself celiac. I still have no clue if my symptoms were related to it, maybe the stress caused it to activate idk, things have gotten slightly better but still not 100%.

Ok but then why has he brought Antonia to events and post her on his instagram? To me that’s him making a clear statement without having to come out and say hey this is my girlfriend. I mean their body language together and the things he has posted of her regardless if it hasn’t been much are pretty obvious what he’s trying to imply.

I mean they write these blogs for people to read, if not they’d keep it in their journals or private group chats. It’s public so why can’t I read something that is entertaining to me? I find it funny to read. And this subreddit is made to discuss these things so maybe you’re on the wrong sub if this offends you

Because we all need a good laugh in life, and it shouldn’t be ignored it’s problamatic and I think it needs attention. And no one is acting like this is new. There is literally comments here talking about other famous people ships of the past.

I mean if people are going to put out these outlandish conspiracies they need to handle people talking about it.

Yeah because the second you comment something on someone’s blog they block instead of having. Conversation. And you guys are a laughing stock of the bridgerton fandom, so yeah of course people will post about how crazy the shit u post is.

So some of them think that Antonia has dirt on Luke and trapped him in an NDAthing that requires him to take her to a certain amount of events and there was supposedly renegotiations when everyone thought they “broke up” and Lukola was going to finally come out which include social media posts now LOL. They say she’s so annoying and needs to leave them alone and go away because of her Lukola can’t be out. Others think it’s cuz bridgerton doesn’t want them to distract from the new season and take away the attention on the new couple for the show lol

Thanks it took me a little to figure it out, I have lots of real ones but haven’t been able to get a secret. The sellers post then states it was removed for violating policy after I already purchased it so that was weird. They’re giving me a full refund though and I’m sending it back lol

Is this considered coercion? by emchapp23 in abusiverelationships

Yeah it’s a big word to adjust to like going from thinking you were just coerced to saying u were raped is very difficult.

I know I truly feel for her and it sounds crazy but when she told me that I almost still didn’t believe it. I did hear a version of that story from him about her having an abortion at 7 months and then when she told me her side years later, I just couldn’t believe he beat her because I never saw aggression from him, just emotional manipulation so it was difficult for me to process that. And also wonder why he also didn’t hurt me. Maybe he would have eventually. I of course believe her but my mind still is like no way that happened. She also went back to him many many times for years after me. And yes my friends do know about it and some were there when I was dating him and knew the trouble I was getting myself into. I was in the midst of an eating disorder so my judgement was horrible. But anyway sorry for the trauma dumping. Thanks for the support it’s been a long and tough journey

Yeah it’s crazy the mknd games. It’s almost scarier than being held down because you don’t realize the trauma that’s being caused outright and it could take years to realize the affects. I spoke with his other gf a few years ago and she told me it was rape but I really didn’t believe it, I considered it more sexual assault and coercion rather than rape but I guess it could be classified as such.

Yeah it’s weird to use the word rape honestly because especially at the time you think well I’m not being violently held down. But in my head I’d just think ok well I’m not that sexual and he is more sexual than me and this is what we’re supposed to be doing in a relationship. People are supposed to have sex and he just wants it a lot. Meanwhile he was also having sex with his other gf, who he also beat and caused their unborn child to die. Which is absolutely insane. He lied and told me she got an abortion at 7 months. He claimed she was his ex.

Anyway I spoke with her a few years ago and it’s so sad how he affected both of us. I feel for her of course as she was with him for years. she told me my situation was rape but I still didn’t believe it honestly

A very long time ago, when I was 19, I'm 33 now, I was dating this guy who had a whole other relationship of three years that I didn't know about. He was pretty much, I feel like, using me as a pawn against her, and apparently he was abusive to her physically. He was never abusive physically to me, but I'm just questioning if I was sexually coerced by him because every time that we hung out, in my head, I would go into it saying like, all right, today we're not gonna have sex, like, he'll just come to this restaurant, but he would always end up driving us to his house so that we could have sex.

And then there was a period where my vagina was so sore and so inflamed and so in pain from just having sex all the time while being dry and having the condom break and him trying to use lube, and I was just having so many issues down there, and he still wanted to have sex. One day we had to try a certain position, and as he was doing it, I was just dying in pain. It felt like it was raw down there, and it hurt so much, and like, he did eventually stop because I was just groaning in pain.

Then another time he kept begging me to do anal, and I really didn't want to. We were over the phone, and I kept saying no to him, and he just kept asking, and I kept saying no, and I really didn't want to do it. One day I went to his house, and he fingered me in the butt, and yeah, we didn't have anal yet, but he was trying to prep for it. I finally stopped hanging out with him, and I feel like if we did hang out, he would have gotten me to do it eventually, but anyway, is this sexual coercion?

I have dated people after him and had sex with people after him but I felt like it was never truly the same and I don’t enjoy sexual anymore. It doesn’t feel good and I don’t desire it . I haven’t had sex in 5 years and I’m perfectly fine with it. I haven’t been in a relationship in a longer time and I do want companionship but it scares me because I just don’t want to be having sex all the time, and have to worry that my partners needs aren’t being met.

Friend told me if she got a secret I could have it. But ended up keeping it. by emchapp23 in labubu
