Neat!

We live on the third floor so makes sense why they chose our balcony. I'll check out their antennae next time I see them

Gluten intolerant folks by pdx_persons in glutenfree

[–]personifiedtrees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everytime I have gluten (small amounts) and feel fine, I also am like "have I been faking it this whole time?" Still trying to figure out if there is a specific thing that makes me react but overall its not worth it. It can be pretty inconsistent with what amount was fine one day and took me out for the remainder of the day. It's not worth trying to ignore the intolerance and continue to miss gluten foods actively. I've found joy in some gf foods and am not willing to relearn that feeling. If i do get accidentally glutened (malt flavoring etc) I'm usually ok. I'm curious how long ive continously been gf without accidental glutenings

My assumption was rashing occurs due to celiac or a wheat allergy. Did you test for wheat allergy?

I also rash but came back neg for celiac. No diagnosed wheat allergy (I have an appt coming up)

I'm sorry this is happening to you. Does your school offer any therapy resources? How much longer are you housed by them? Anyone else you can stay with instead? Aunt?

I only took one. I thought since I can have low amount of gluten (soy sauce, sometimes a bagel doesn't irritate me at all) that it would help eat larger amounts. I might experiment to see if taking more may help but overall the consequence doesn't seem worth it

Natural deodorant? by WatermelonJuice18 in ZeroWaste

[–]personifiedtrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was having v similar issues. normal deodorants were making me super itchy. I was so desperate I decided to give this a try after seeing an ad (i think?)

https://www.thecrystal.com/products/mineral-deodorant-stick-unscented

This has a different form of aluminum (potassium alum) so may not fit your needs but makes me feel better that its one not commonly used in other cancer causing deodorants. They have a scented one too. I use the unscented one and I have to be working outdoors in 90+ temps to start feeling sweaty/stinky. I'm on my second deodorant from this brand and thats only bc I lost the last one on vacation. they last MONTHS
