I was just diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that is important to tell people about... The only problem? I CANT FREAKING SAY IT. C-ccc-ccccceliac disease 😖 This is something I must tell people about whenever I try to eat at restaurants or anywhere but home. I have to worry about cross-contamination and stuff. I went to In n Out yesterday and the only thing I could say was “I cannot have any wheat at all,” which isn’t explaining the issue properly at all. If I didn’t have a stutter, this is what I would have said: “Hi! Do you have good options for people with celiac disease? I cannot be exposed to gluten in any way, so I cannot have a bun and gloves will need to be changed before preparing my food.” I am so sick of this. I’m 31 years old, and my speech not only affects my life and self-esteem, but now potentially my health, too.
