Pondering on life without gluten: I've been a Coeliac disease sufferer for 13 years and am mostly as used to it as anything, but sometimes I stop to think how much trouble and how much sadness my mom had when it activated in her. My mother's mother had it, her sister has it, my brother has it and his kid has it... (And mine and my brother's "woke up" after the same seasonal flu! Autoimmune disorders are fascinating and viral illnesses fucking suck!)
For me, I'd already been used to no longer being able to just casually eat anything and everything everybody else was, because I'd been vegan for years and vegetarian even longer at that point, AND I used to be allergic to nuts, especially almond and pistachio. (Stopped being allergic around the time I started the gluten free diet. Autoimmune disorders, fascinating!)
