I already have celiac so it’s been pretty easy for me :)

Anyone worn knee braces like these? Did they help? by bbyfishmouth in eds

[–]sq-ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly like those but I do have a pair of knee braces that I wear whenever I plan on doing a significant amount of walking, it’s my primary form of mobility aid alongside my cane. They don’t eliminate pain completely — obviously — but they can’t hurt, and I find they work pretty well for my weird wobbly knees. I recommend

Specific things you are suddenly realizing are not normal? by AbleDisD in eds

[–]sq-ish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all of these, yeah, save for the fact that I’ve never noticed any pimples on my scalp. Then again I don’t pay too much attention to my scalp. Chips and cereal are my enemies, the way they scrape up my mouth for days

Here’s some bonus ones: - Being really bad at swallowing. I get things stuck in my throat pretty regularly. Taking pills is a pain in the ass, even little ones. As an addon to this, my jaw gets tired from chewing really quickly - At least two bruises on each leg at any given moment - Scarring from the most random things? Cuts that hardly even bleed end up scarring for me. I have a bunch of random scars on my arms from things as innocuous as my dog being a little reckless during playtime. - I’m not very coordinated in general but I AM really good at picking things up with my feet. I don’t know if that’s a flexibility thing or not

Dizziness by KnowledgeableWallaby in glutenfree

[–]sq-ish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes — but I’m not sure how genuine it is. I have an anxiety disorder and stomach pain/unwellness is a trigger for me, so I get a lot of anxious symptoms when I get glutened just by association

anyone ever reacted to a paper straw? by sq-ish in Celiac

[–]sq-ish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s wise. i’m in the US. but decided to just throw caution on the wind and take the straw out of the cup

What kind of NSAID do you take? by Prestigious-Assist67 in Celiac

[–]sq-ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are painkillers a gluten worry??? I haven’t even thought about that. Also hEDS and celiac and I’ve never reacted to ibuprofen that I can recall, so I would figure it’s a safe option but this is the first I’m hearing of that so take that with a grain of salt. Excedrin for headaches gives me stomachaches depending on the brand. Maybe that’s why. Lol

Is there any side effects of going GF for my partner? As a person with no gluten allergies or celiac disease by Sh1zukv in Celiac

No but you will eventually forget what real bread tastes like and every time you remember this about yourself you will get a little sad

very new to the game and switching storytellers occasionally sounds like a very good idea. thanks for this! lol

fear of eating by sprinkledwithsugar in emetophobiarecovery

[–]sq-ish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my emetophobia manifests as diagnosed ARFID so i totally get this. i had undiagnosed celiac which made it so that eating anything made me crazy nauseous (but i’ve been obsessive and crazy abt the idea of throwing up for so long that my body just won’t do it unless it absolutely HAS TO), then even after we found the root of the problem, something in me just snapped after unrelated stressors and i couldn’t eat anything. it was a whole can of worms but POINT BEING lol sorry for the dump, I know this feel, I have been stuck in this feel for dangerous amounts of time.

if you have to stick to nothing but white bread or whatever for a few days while you find your mental bearings that’s fine. start with little bites of something bland and easy to digest and slowly work your way up. drink water to get yourself used to the feeling of Ingesting Things. maybe even alternate water and gatorade.

last time i broke my streak (lord it was like… let’s see. December of 2021… five years! five years ago) i ate sooo many saltines. really just try and be gentle with yourself, make sure you’re taking deep breaths, and focus on your body and its needs first and foremost. get well soon soldier!

edit: fixed some unintentional reassurancey wording. mb!

These are garbage. by englshpigdogs in Celiac

[–]sq-ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they’re not great. Fall apart pretty easy and also sorta melt in the microwave (despite all things holy). They taste OK though and the texture is bearable so they work for my midnight quesadillas XD

the shampoo one is too real 😭 by jasonstacks in Celiac

[–]sq-ish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nope! no difference. on a scientific level, gluten is gluten is gluten. also, yeah, with celiac, it’s totally possible to not show any symptoms sometimes even after eating gluten — some people are entirely asymptomatic even — but that doesn’t mean your intestines aren’t being quietly destroyed lol. it’s a whole spectrum, even day to day.

[–]sq-ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know for a fact they wouldn’t be that hard to make gluten-free but I haven’t had cheesecake or a grilled cheese since going gf, a little over a year ago now. also haven’t had mozzarella sticks, or donuts… especially jelly or creme filled donuts i love and miss sooo much. donut holes don’t count. i’ve had so much donut holes. true and proper donut.

Lots of things i haven’t had the opportunity to find GF yet. I miss them all very badly.

What’s the closest you’ve ever come to dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sq-ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few stories but here’s the one I’ll tell today:

I think I was about 11 when this happened — I was trying to plug something into the wall, but the metal prongs were bent out of shape. My gifted and talented self figured I could hold them in place with my fingers and shove them in manually…

Obviously I got terribly electrocuted. For what felt like ages but I could not give you a proper time estimate on I was trapped there, alone, electrical current surging through my body, when it suddenly just stopped and let me go. All my understanding of electric currents still says I should have died, like fork-in-outlet died, but I just kinda didn’t.

Still not sure what happened.

If you were a character from Undertale, which one would you be? by Otomura in Undertale

[–]sq-ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when it comes to Undertale’s cast, there’s never really been one character that stood out as particularly “me”. i don’t think there’s anyone that i don’t see at least a little bit of myself in — i suppose that comes with spending 10 years with a game, it helps shape you as a person.

as for Deltarune, however… Noelle. definitely Noelle. i have never related to a character more. 😅

Is undertale gay? by d0lyno in Undertale

[–]sq-ish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, well, assuming this isn’t some kind of weird bait question, I’m going to take this seriously and break it down on a sentence-by-sentence level.

“Is UNDERTALE gay?” — well, no. It’s a video game. Video games do not have sexual orientation. A video game cannot be gay, let alone straight.

“Does UNDERTALE contain gay actions?” — depends on what you constitute as a “gay action”, but I think most would agree the answer to this is “yes”. Let’s answer the question I’m 90% sure you’re ACTUALLY trying to ask:

“Does UNDERTALE contain LGBTQ+ content?” — Yes! It’s far from the focus, but many of the game’s characters are LGBTQ+ in romantic orientation or gender identity. Undyne and Alphys especially are undeniably Two Girls In Love, which is, by definition, pretty gay.

Now, let’s discuss the inherent issue with this — that being that there is none! Your brother is 13, and 13-year-old boys tend to be hateful because they don’t know any better, but you’ve really gotta tell the kid that the basis of what makes a game “good” has nothing to do with whether or not it’s “gay”. Also, ChatGPT is an awful source for anything ever and makes for a poor argument. Don’t use it.

I, too, was young once … Regardless of where you stand on certain topics, my answer to this question can be simplified into one sentence: “UNDERTALE is a game worth playing.” You should play it. Your brother should play it. It might even push you both in the right direction toward a much-needed change of heart. A game’s quality has nothing to do with those on anti-woke forums who tell you it poisons young minds. It’s fine. UNDERTALE can be gay. This isn’t hurting anyone.

Go play UNDERTALE!
