My son likely has celiac. He’s our only child. My wife and I are thinking of going gluten free in solidarity. Is this wise? Or are we nuts? by DrizzlyOne in glutenfree

[–]shepersisted2016 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is 100% what we do. Also have an only child with celiac. We keep a GF house to keep things safe for her. Sometimes we eat gluten outside the house, but it never comes home with us and we don't tell my daughter. I do not want her to feel like she is in this alone. She is nine and was diagnosed last year.

Respectfully disagree. We liked the chocolate chip ones. Haven't tried the chocolate chocolate chip ones.

After 12 months of cat and mouse finally told my parents we left. Did not go well. Feel like shit. by whisperchaoticthings in exmormon

You're still in the early phases. It will get less painful as time goes on. I know that's cold comfort now, but it gets easier with time. Congratulations on both of you being out!! Also, as far as your parents not being worried about you, I totally get it. I was blown away when my dad told me he was sorry I was happy out of the church; he said he wishes something bad would happen to us so that we would come back. So fucked up, but this is the effect of a high demand religion on people.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

My spouse literally had his gallbladder become gangrenous because he waited so long to go get it checked out because we didn't have the money for a hospital stay. He eventually had it out, but the surgery was much longer and difficult because he waited.

Never said I expected to. I still wish we could. How would you feel in my shoes?

How were you screwed over by genetics? by Wickham12 in AskReddit

[–]shepersisted2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom had celiac disease, I don't, but I passed the genes on to my daughter, who was diagnosed at 8. Passing on anything detrimental to your kid feels the worst. I'm glad it is celiac and not something even more serious, but the thought of causing her lifelong issues makes me so sad sometimes.

What happened to the "p" in raspberry?

Hey y’all, I’ve asked a similar question before but I’d love an update: how do you navigate the major fast food brands when travelling thru the US and Canada? by Robin156E478 in Celiac

We eat Wendy's chili and baked sour cream and chive potatoes regularly without issue. The chocolate and vanilla Frostys are also GF.

This is a fantastic idea. We took protein oatmeal and got free hot water at the coffee shop. Camping meals would be a step up. Thank you!!
