Currently nauseous and bloated, trying to figure out why God hates me.

Then I realized the last thing I ate was a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat and it just clicked. I'm bad about actually eating my wheat based foods, but one of my favorites used to be blackened chicken alfredo even though it always made my stomach upset. Up until now I thought it was the chicken, but I just realized that it was probably the pasta. Besides those revelations, I match most of the symptoms. Celiac is hereditary as well, and I have family (on both sides) that have been diagnosed with it.

The exam for it sounds really uncomfortable though, makes me not want to really get tested. What do?

So what you're telling me is that you can't drink beer anymore?

Never tended toward beer anyways, whiskey is my jam. And the distillation process inherently makes it gluten-free, so regardless of the reality I can keep drinking it.

Become gluten-free and tell everyone about it.

It's a blast, because no one believes you (or cares) so they get visibly irritated whenever you bring it up. It's like vegan-lite.

No encounters with Celiac in my personal life. Dunno what it is other than basic guesswork based off your descriptions. Dunno if it poses any serious danger or just mild issues.

Asking what to do about it? You know more than I do. If you know the extent of what it poses, but you don't want to see a doc, then just cut out the stuff that's giving you issues for a small time span and see where it goes from there. If it persists then you know you've gotta go visit the doc.

Figured it was an allergy at the minimum.

Basically, gluten causes inflammation along the walls of the digestion system and hampers the body's ability to take in nutrients. Inflammation causes issues on its own, such as bloating, nausea, and problems with bowel movement. The nutritional issue can cause stagnation in growth and malnutrition.

Can also cause rashes, irritability, etc. The normal allergy things.

Well fuck gluten then.

This only happens if you have Celiac. Otherwise, gluten is just another wonderful nutrient.

Food intolerance is shit. I'm extremely sensitive to sugar and carbs but somehow was spared of celiac. Makes no difference in the end, I still can't eat bread or pasta.

I shalln't retract my previous statement.

You're really not missing out on anything from bread unless you just like the flavor.

You don't know how much I wish I could eat a sandwich again.
