    Is this what people think when I tell them I can’t eat gluten? Cuz it definitely feels like it.

      I think there is a certain group of people that ruin it. EG: “yeah, I’ll have the burger, but no bun because if you put the bun near my burger, like within 6ft of my burger, I will die slowly and painfully.” Ok, so we should take off the sauce that is thickened with flour, right? “No, the sauce is fine. Also can I get the hef with that?”

        I witnessed something like this once at a deli - lady is griping that the soups aren’t gluten free, but then goes right into deciding what rolls she wants… Meanwhile my stepmom has Celiac’s disease, and occasionally catches attitude from servers when she tries to figure out how serious they are about their gluten free options…

      Celiac is a real auto immune disease, not being a picky eater.

      I only think it about the people who claim to be gluten free when people are looking, or don’t know that sourdough has gluten.

      The amount of people who are actually unable to have gluten seriously dwarfs the amount of people who claim it, unfortunately for those who really have it.
