Do you ever think that maybe a diagnosis you received may have come back to bite you?

I'm just so tired of checking every single ingredient list.

Also tired of terms at restaurants like "Gluten Aware", "Gluten Conscious", etc. Then you find out everything is still going in the same fryer 🫤

I really appreciate places like Subway and Taco Bell that just tell you up front they probably have cross-contamination on everything. Most places the workers don't even know what gluten is. When I explain, they think I should just say I don't want bread.

Subway is way off my list. They cut the bread over the meat. You can watch the crumbs fly right in.

At least they're aware of it.

Gluten appears to be pixie dust just thrown about in kitchens and mass food production facilities. It is shocking how much contains it or is near it.

I haven't heard of a gluten aware restaurant. But the term sounds irritating.
