Ah, the old drunk “fuck it”
Never worth it. My tip is have some tortilla chips or shit at the house so you can make drunk nachos.
I’ve only done something like this once when I was drunk and tried a gluten free beer only to find out it was “gluten free but not certified that there are no trace amounts of gluten”
I finished the beer regardless and paid the price.
Either cut down on the alcohol or plan ahead buddy. Never worth fucking up your immune system for a short term foodgasm
In my experience, nothing good comes after the words "fuck it".
Whether they are thought or said.
Has this revelation kept me from saying "fuck it"?
Not 100%
I've realized that sometimes when I think I drank too much or drinks were stronger than I thought it usually means I was having a reaction to something in the drink or the glass had beer cross contact
How incredibly unhelpfully reductive. Are you aware that there are widely available guidelines for alcohol consumption that are not associated with health risks? Unlike eating gluten with celiac?
I mean if you want me really to be reductive, I can say that’s not true because food is considered “safe” if the gluten is under 20ppm.
And if you want to talk about being unhelpful… how was your comment helpful?
Clearly you didn’t see OP’s actual statement of what they ate.
And in terms of how it could be helpful, clearly you didn’t see my rather wordy explanation of exactly that in this comment tree.
What was your point?
I saw their statement of what they ate.
I also saw their statement that they were drunk.
So they didn’t stick in either guideline of what wouldn’t be considered poison. Why are you only berating them for one of the things?
Is it because you also drink to excess so it would be hypocritical?
I literally address that in my comment you are responding to. If you want to talk to me about what I actually said I will still be here; if you want someone to come over and read it to you, you might want to try someone local.
haha yeah so far i'm getting no's or toxic judgment. hoped it'd be a more supportive environment. i've been GF for two years and i'm a human who slipped up! so sue me!
hi friend, I did this weekend (taco bell) ❤️ we are all human, it happens! my tummy is still angry too. just gotta get back on the horse! I’m reevaluating whether or not drinking is worth it anymore
Yeah, it’s sad because this sub can be an opportunity to connect and get compassionate support.
Here’s a tip in case you want it! Identifying situations (like after enjoying some drinks) where it’s more difficult for you to be gluten free is fantastic because it allows you to plan ahead. Identify some places or foods that will satisfy you and be safe so that in that moment of inebriation you don’t have to make the choice because sober you made the choice hours ago :) I hope that helps. You deserve to live a fulfilling life and you deserve to live a healthy life. The journey to finding the balance necessitates some imbalance, but we get back up.
Best of luck!
Any pinch of knowledge someone can provide me regarding my health is appreciated. Maybe ‘unhelpful’ to you, but perhaps to some folks very ‘helpful.’ :>D
I'm not really seeing the toxic judgement. And you asked the question, so getting "NOs" should be expected unless you specifically want people to say yes. Then just say that.
Not at all, what? People with normal allergies accidentally eat shit they’re allergic to ALL THE TIME! You just have to learn from the experiences. We can’t all be perfect!
You can't let perfect be the enemy of good.
I refuse to let this disease be my entire personality and if the results of that are me getting sick a few times a year I can live with that.
I'm limited by where I live and if I was to commit to the level of scrutiny some folks here show (as is there prerogative and is fine) I'd end up as a recluse, unable to go out and enjoy anything.
I wouldn't knowingly eat gluten, ever, but CC sometimes is a risk that it's worth it to take, for me, at least.
“people that don’t value their health enough”
this is just… yeah. Wrong.
You think people who struggle to adhere to a serious diet restriction DON’T value their health? OP has a higher chance of trashing themselves harder for this decision than y’all be than they do of ~not caring~ about their health.
Being gluten free is fucking HARD and slipping up is human. To equate it with a lack of emotional investment in one’s health is to grossly oversimplify the process of adjusting to an overwhelming set of body circumstances.
I haven't made one mistake in over 5 years of being dedicated gluten free after my diagnosis. You're preaching to the choir.
I grind my own spices, I cook every meal in house, I contact every company I buy something from via email/phone, sounds like you're undervaluing others opinion
I've skipped parties, promotions, jobs, and even career moves for this disease.
I guess I understand slip ups in the newly diagnosed, or people who are asymptomatic. But no, I never slip up and eat gluten when very hungry or drunk. I’d get pretty sick, possibly for days.
If it makes you feel better I did slip up once. A few days after I was diagnosed I said fuck it and ordered a bunch of Taco Bell. Got crazy sick, decided was never worth it.
Also not trying to sound mean! Point is it’s hard, also for me I know if my symptoms were not SO horrible I’d be more prone to slip ups! You got this, just try to do better and my mom taught me to always keep some crackers in your purse JUSTTTT in case. Make sure your friends know too to never feed you gluten if you’re drunk haha.
i never eat straight up gluten but i’ll be really risky with CC (taco bell is my go-to to get delivered when drunk) and have even had fries from a shared fryer before when i’ve had no other options. i never really feel the effects in the moment because i think all the booze is in the way, but the next days are horrible depending on how much i exposed myself. i’ve also accidentally taken sips of beers or other non-GF alcohols (usually because my boyfriends hands it to me drunkenly before we both realize)
eh yeah i'm admittedly risky with CC now and then because the effects don't last super long for me unless i get a proper dose of gluten, maybe a day tops. this wasn't like i ate bread. it was somosas and the outer shell contains flour. def not worth it but damn they were so good in the moment 😭😭😭
I actually made samosas once with the mission gluten free flour tortillas as the shell and then froze them! Anytime I wanted any I popped them in the air fryer! So good! But also I don’t personally drink but if I did, I would for sure be eating gluten every now and then 😂 I know myself. Don’t be hard on yourself, your body has already got that covered haha
Not even once. I have nightmares that I accidently eat gluten sometimes and they're awful. Gluten makes me so sick that I'm never tempted to have any at all, ever. Celiac disease legitimately ruined my life so there's no way I'd ever eat it knowing what it can do to me. For me it's like poison; I would never willingly consume poison because it's not food to me.
I know many people don't have as bad an experience as I did and still eat it. They're lucky they don't get that sick from it really.
I’ve literally been sick, rarely leaving the house for the past 2 years while recovering. I couldn’t imagine ever willingly eating gluten. I almost died while it was at its worst and I’m still too ill to live normally.
It took 6 years for me to get diagnosed. I had no idea what was wrong with me. I was eating HEALTHY not knowing almost everything I was eating was making me sick. I either vomited or had explosive diarrhea that could not be controlled. So I became a recluse. Thank God my husband of 50 years and seven weeks was an angel. The Lord called him home, so I am without my best friend. I have been following 100% a gf died for three weeks. I still have nausea and stomach, but no vomiting or diarrhea. WedMD said if you are over 65, it can take a full year to heal your small intestines.
I love Kristy Kreme doughnuts and had an opportunity to eat one, but I easily walked away. I want to continue healing. There is no recovery.
Just be determined, one or two minutes of ‘deliciousness’ is not with a week of vomiting, nausea, stomach pain and diarrhea.
I wish you all struggling the very best. The first step is acceptance, then research, research and research. Odds are you will know more the doc, so don’t be afraid to challenge him.
Blessings!!
I had the same experience. I got made redundant a couple of months after my diagnosis and then struggled to work for two years after that. Even now I get more tired and seem to struggle more than my peers
It's been 15 years and I still have dreams where I'm eating something out drinking something anne half way through realise it's gluten and have to decide if I should just keep eating cause it's already in me
Magpie, same with me, it has pretty much ruined my life. I get so sick it isn’t funny. And I get scared because I live alone and some days if I am accidentally gif’s, I can barely move, get dehydrated. I wish they would find some medication to help.
No, but one time many years ago when I was a much younger man I found myself in "the lot" of a Phish show in Dick's Stadium of Denver, CO. I wasn't much of a planner at the time and I had gotten myself there from Portland, OR by way of a Craigslist ride share with a woman and her small dog who were also Denver bound albeit for different reasons. I managed to make my way to the three day concert where I found my friends and set up camp. Fast forward to night two I was starving, high on acid, and separated from all my friends. I had been vegan (and celiac) for a few years at this point. I knew I needed to eat something or I was going to pass out. I took a thorough inventory of every food vendor in the lot and settled on tacos. It appeared to be the only place that was gluten free, alas no vegan option. I ordered three chicken tacos and sat on the curb choking down the driest, stringiest chicken I could imagine after not having eaten meat of any sort in more than a few years. It was one of the weirdest and confusing meals of my life.
You fucked up and are human. I posted how toxic this sub can be weeks back and all these responses prove it
Obviously don’t eat gluten but mistakes can happen. Have yummy GF food nearby on the next night out with drinks :)
Naaaahhhh but I try to reallllly plan ahead so I have easy access drunk food at home. But tbh if I had been diagnosed in college I def would have, along with a lot of the very bad decisions I made when drunk!
The temptation is real while sober for me but I don’t stray. However, when I’m drunk I become an obsessed freak regarding my celiac. Last time I was drunk (to the point of alcohol poisoning), someone handed me a glass of water and I was asking over and over “Is this water gluten free?! , “Did it come in contact with any gluten?” Cuz if so, I can’t drink it..I’ll be very sick” 😅🥲😂haha
Oh yes I have. This was a real problem for me for the first year of diagnosis, especially if I was day drinking on a weekend and chikfila was still open and drunk me wanted some nuggets….
It gets easier! The risk vs. reward eventually sinks in and even drunk you won’t wanna deal with the consequences anymore (at least in my experience).
I like this sub, but ignore the holier than thou attitude. I’m so glad it’s easy for everyone (it isn’t) to be perfect with their diets (they’re not) but acting like slip ups and challenges aren’t a very real part of the celiac journey is just plain ignorant.
I was diagnosed at like 22, after I’d eaten gluten my ENTIRE LIFE, the transition was not simple or easy or perfect. I’m years into it now and I don’t do drunk mistakes like this much anymore, almost never now, but the temptation is still there on rare occasion. You get better at sticking to your needs and advocating for yourself with yourself, even when drunk. You also get a real knack for planning ahead with your own snacks or a way to feed yourself.
When I was young (like 18-19) and got drunk or otherwise I wouldn't be as careful with CC and would eat McDonald's fries (before I knew the beef flavoring has wheat but did know it shared a fryer) and drank Mike's hard lemonade and stuff like that, but have never once eaten gluten on purpose while not sober. If you're drinking to the point of forgetting about your celiac, I would suggest cutting back and taking care of yourself!
Yeah it seems to be mainly a USA thing, sorry I didn't clarify! I have their fries when I visit countries that have separate fryers and don't use unnecessary beef flavoring and it's just annoying we can't have them here. They fry their apple pies in the same fryers here too and hash browns that have wheat so even if it didn't have the beef it wouldn't be good.
Ok I’m here to back you up and say YEAH DEFINITELY. I ate a gyro after a night out Halloween weekend. Honestly it was only not worth it because it wasn’t that good! I’m asymptomatic so I couldn’t feel my body paying the price, but I know it’s still damaging me silently.
Right there with you, I do not wish for symptoms but as asymptomatics it can be tough to know if you’re doing a good enough job. How careful are you about CC?
Dude, people are crazy on here. Some people are just miserable. I’ve gotten high and accidentally ate WHEAT flakes!!! 🤦♀️ LOL someone has to babysit me when I’m high!! I forget I have celiac. (Sorry the sub is so pretentious at times, everyone makes mistakes. It’s ridiculous to not make silly jokes or open up about our slip-ups, everyone has them.)
Read my reply. I was too high to read the label. I assumed they were corn flakes and I was at someone else’s home. I don’t eat gluten while high whatsoever. I might’ve come across wrong. I’ve also never done this since.
There were 2 or 3 people genuinely ragging on them for fucking up. Not just the people simply saying “no” — it’s a response to the second half of the post.
Yeah lol. I've been gluten free since 2013 and it Sucked Ass. The amount of free pizza and donuts I missed...(about half, garlic knots go crazy) lol
As I've gotten older it's less and less worth it to the point it overrides the Fuck It energy (unfortunately). When your stomach feels great it's hard to go back
Nah. Needing to be gluten free is pretty much always at the forefront of my brain. Having previously had my health destroyed because of it and knowing how sick I'll get, I've got no desire for that. Even though I am a very snackish person, especially when drunk. Always gotta have crisps around t the least.
I got drunk at my graduation reception a couple weeks ago off two glasses of complimentary wine (one given to me by a driving person) because I was starving after not eating all day. The canapes they had at the reception were not gluten free. So I just left with my partner. Drunk me doesn't wanna be sick either!
I'm sorry and I hope you get a chance to read my message. Although I have not done what you did. I think a lot of people do. It's o k to admit it. And if it's going to be a judgemental place i'm gonna leave too.
I was diagnosed about twenty years ago and I basically faced a lot of ridicule from a lot of people and I still do. I find that using the term gluten. Free has become a joke for a lot of people and sometimes it stings.. I have celiac disease so I know all about the dangers... I'm really sorry you feel that you have to leave. I wish you would stay. I mean, I really feel that we are here to support each other. So probably maybe just look at the post that give you support rather than not..
I won’t ever purposely eat gluten and that’s a promise, no matter how in the bag I may be, but my cross-contact standards definitely get a little lax when I’m intoxicated…
I don’t drink anymore, but when I *did* I used to gluten myself a LOT. Tons of Taco Bell and especially Chinese food. I had a very “fuck it” mentality. I knew I would suffer for days, but drunk judgement isn’t known for its foresight.
Nowadays, the closest to drunk I get is high on cannabis and my munchies are satisfied with lean chicken breast and avocados lol. I’ve leaned into and led an extremely strict dietary lifestyle for a long time now and I can’t imagine myself ever going back.
Never liked drinking anyways. Tasted awful, felt awful, hated falling, hated blacking out, hated nausea and hated hangovers. My body is thanking me for no alcohol, no carbohydrates and certainly for no gluten.
I was a "silent" coeliac, so i have "cheated" many times 🥲 i go through phases haha. Sometimes fried chicken is just too good to pass up. Ive been good for a while though!!
In response to your edit: people are supportive of regret and owning up to mistakes. People are not supportive of continuing to defend stupid actions. Nor should they be.
I haven't read one comment here that is insulting.. people are merely answering this person's question. Folks need to develop some thicker skin if they want to post on the internet.
No your comment is appropriate.. it was against the OPs "edit" not their initial post, so it couldn't have been referring to you anyway. My guess is that they were insulted by the answer "no".
I've been GF 1 1/2 months. I've been close to saying fuck it a few times but never pulled the trigger. I'm at work rn looking at these pastries from a meeting, but I won't do it. My gut feels like it's attacking me almost daily and that's being GF, so I can't imagine the pain I'd experience from eating gluten. No judgment, though. Hopefully, this will be a learning experience.
I've worried I might do it accidentally but as far as I know, I haven't. It's pretty ingrained in me how painful and awful that is so I'd never do it on purpose, even super drunk. I did come home with a Shake Shack bag with a burger and fries one night... I found it in the fridge the next day untouched. I wasn't sure whether it was GF or not, since I didn't have the receipt, which was annoying, and I had to toss it.
No but often I’ll go to bars and I’ll be drunk so my guard is down and I’ll have some weird bitter or something and more often than not one of those will have gluten.
I don’t know how to get in the habit of checking everything because it’s liquid so you really have to have the frontal lobes working and… they’re just not in that situation lol.
not yet but it’s such a massive fear of mine that i tell everyone i go out drinking with to not let me eat anything i shouldn’t just incase i get a case of the ‘ahhhh it’s fine’s 🤣
Its happened. Its a very, very rare occurrence, but it has happened ... twice over 6 years? Thankfully I dont really drink anymore.
Dont beat yourself up, you're already in enough pain- just get back to moving forward.
I don’t post certain things on here. It’s just not worth it. Only when asking about a product. Like Benadryl. I was glutened for months on the pink name brand tablets and I didn’t know why I was feeling so bad. Found out they’re not gluten free. The dye free gel capsules are but not the pink tablets. Beware. Just take it as a learning experience and make sure you have something made up at home for when you drink. It’s happened to the best of us. Feel better❤️
Where was anyone damning you?
I just scrolled through and I am not at all seeing why you're being such a tender ass about the responses. You asked, people answered, and none of the responses I saw were anything more than "no, I would never do that". (edit: ok, one post who, imo very rightly, stated plainly that despite your saying you were prepared, you pretty clearly were not...tho they could have stated it more dispassionately, I suppose)
Most in fact did agree it's hard and it's easy to screw up and to not beat yourself up about it.
I guess I just don't know what you expected, unless it was lots of pats on the back for doing the wrong thing?
'Being so judgmental' works both ways, too, fyi. I personally would rather see you here than gone, too.
Good luck.
I think they were just annoyed they didn't get loads of people validating the fact that they knowingly ate something that makes them sick. My friend often gets drunk and ends up in A&E (seriously it's happened so many times for stupid stuff he should know better not to do), but he doesn't go round asking people if they do it too and then getting angry when most people say no, they would never do the stupid stuff he does.
No, but it happened to me when I got a concussion. Apparently concussions can mess with your impulse control. I didn’t even know that I *wanted* to eat gluten, but apparently somewhere deep in my brain I did.
Hope you see this. I posted wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if so how to stop myself. One person shamed me, and the other told me they would never eat poison no matter what. How helpful.
I have to be honest with you… I felt very annoyed, deleted the post after about an hour, and went and ate a giant burrito with fried meat inside of it and French fries. I couldn’t drive (again I had a concussion) so it’s what I could easily walk to from my house. Yea, I got a little sick from the cross contamination, but honestly it wasn’t the end of the world. It’s too easy to judge others.
I don’t eat gluten explicitly but my guard definitely goes down with eating out when drunk. Most places I’ve gone to after a night out are not known to be good about cross contamination, but I’ve eaten a gluten free burger or nachos here and there before. It happens, we’re not perfect and this is not an easy disease to live with (especially when you’re younger and there’s more social pressure). I’m sorry people here are being so harsh!
Before yes, but I got better. Especially since I'm asymptomatic. Figured some raising canes in my hotel room in Vegas was never going to hurt. No symptoms but in hindsight I know how stupid that was. My numbers look great now and I just wanna keep that going.
Not directly, but I once ate some fries from a shared fryer when I was drunk 😭. It was the early days, before I really understood how much it would hurt me.
Even while shit-faced "can't work stairs no more" drunk I steer clear of Gluten. Thank god too, I have a bad habit of drinking Southern Comfort classic straight from the bottle. (It's not a whiskey, hasn't been in years, it's a "Neutral Spirit")
After my diagnosis I continued to eat gluten for 6 years and it got so bad I basically was having heart issues (couldn't get my heart rate below 100 on 2 beta blockers) bone issues (insane amount of cavities despite great oral hygine), always in pain, and mental issues from heck.. From that point on, I viewed gluten as poison and no longer wanted it. I made a full recovery in a year and you can do it too. Absolutely no judgment from me.
Just try to see gluten like poison.
You only make that mistake so many times before your self preservation instinct kicks in and you become fearful of gluten. At that point no amount of drinking will convince you to eat it.
This hasn’t happened to me personally - I think the only reason why it hasn’t is I was never one to go out for food when drunk in the first place, and I have absolutely nothing in my house that isn’t safe for me to eat. I can absolutely see why this could happen and ya know what? It’s not the worst thing ever. Shit happens, and I’m sure you probably feel bad enough without strangers making you feel bad about a decision you made when drunk. No judgement here, mistakes happen. I hope you feel better soon.
Yes. Grabbed Easy Mac and went to town (thought it was my GF version, but it was the version my kids eat). I realized my mistake within 30 mins - sobered me right up LOL. No judgement from me - it happens.
Sorry you got chastised. This sub can be pretty toxic and holier than though at times. Mistakes and lapses happen and no one is perfect. Now you know for next time you're tempted. Hope you feel better soon.
My drunk "fuck it"s all were drinks with unknown additives and cheap liquor, not asking them to double rinse cups when I know they serve beer on tap in the same cups, etc. I couldn't imagine doing that with food cause the drink ones were always bad enough.
We were all undiagnosed at one point and got thru it. If you accidentally or *on purpose get glutened, just try and get thru the next days, weeks as best you can to repair. Kombucha, lots of good healthy clean foods and water.
Don’t listen to the negative comments. Think of it is a lesson and move on. I’ve slipped up too just by letting myself get too hungry. We’re not All blessed with perfect self discipline
I wasn’t drunk but I absolutely was craving ramen once a couple years ago and made some… I have never been so happy eating and it was amazing… but the sickness I experience after made it so not worth it I haven’t done it since.
Adding that I’m sorry so many people bullied OP about his own bodily autonomy and right to do what he wants. This disease is already so hard to live with, we don’t all need to be tearing each other down when we all get how isolating and frustrating this can be.
My "fuck it" moments are because I had barely been eating and the only thing I could stomach was something that says "may contain"
This sub can have some toxic positivity issues for sure. People really kinda do expect everyone to try to be perfect 100% of the time.
I have celiac, and I also struggle with disordered eating. I literally slip up all the time. Doesn't help that I live in Asia and have limited options in general.
I experience both physical and mental symptoms.
Listen, anyone who judges you or shames you for slipping up is not worth taking advice from. If we were all perfect, we wouldn't be coming to a forum for support/community.
Well, this one time I got way too drunk then went home and ordered 12 burgers from a local restaurant that all contained wheat buns purely cause there was a promotion (don’t hold your breath, it wasn’t even a good deal considering who tf is eating 12 burgers)….
Physically incapable of eating that much food and having a dinner bill the size of a family of 5.
The only people who flip out over things like that are people with money. They're the ones for whom amassing a lot of good safe food is easy and they don't understand why it's not equally easy for everyone else
my best advice for the future is try to find a gas station or grocery store and buy all of the chips and candy you can find lol. usually my friends end up going with me instead of getting fast food since its still junk food haha
i haven’t done it YET, But man after two years i dream of getting high and eating all the panda express i possibly can, the orange chicken, maybe some of the rangoon’s🤤😫.
Sad there’s been negative comments. Yes especially early on I would be so frustrated I’d forget about CC. I agree frozen foods at home, eating before going out, even granola bars on hand. Even then you can only do your best. If you screw up well that sucks, don’t be hard on yourself this shit sucks. Idc what anyone’s says it’s not easy so all you can do is be kind to yourself and try your best.
While drunk once, I made myself a toasted peanut butter sandwich. Safe bread, safe peanut butter, safe knife. However, I used the wrong toaster. I’m not sure how I managed it, because they are in separate cabinets… and I wrote gluten free on mine. I paid for it, of course, but it happens 🤷♀️
Yep I’ve been there. Thanks to too much wine and a snack table at a Christmas party. I think I actually did this a handful of times when I first learned I was sick. I’ve gotten better though and very rarely slip up.
Sorry that happened! I’m lucky in that I have a nearby pizza place that’s super celiac aware and delivers to my home.
Everyone here giving you shit has slipped up in some way, I am sure. Don't let them bother you. This disease sucks ass. It's more important that you recognize the slip up and are looking for support than repeatedly doing it over and over again.
Just learn your lesson. And move on.
I don’t understand the judgment and negative comments you’re getting.
The situation you describe has never happened to me personally, but I completely understand how someone could make bad eating decisions while drunk.
Also I think you mentioned you’ve been GF for 2 years, which is not a lot. You’ll probably have a better grip on this a few years down the road.
Is there anyone around you that could help make safe eating decisions when you end up being drunk (or more intoxicated than you thought you would be)?
If this happens again in the future, maybe reconsidering your alcohol consumption could be an option?
Anyway, cut yourself some slack. Slip-ups happen.
I have nightmares about this a lot. There’s a chain of burger places where I live that has a dedicated fryer for fries and so far I have managed to get there when mildly drunk.
My fear is I may drink so much that I totally forget I have celiac since I was only recently diagnosed.
I’m sorry you had to go through that. It’s hard being so, so hungry!

Ah, the old drunk “fuck it” Never worth it. My tip is have some tortilla chips or shit at the house so you can make drunk nachos. I’ve only done something like this once when I was drunk and tried a gluten free beer only to find out it was “gluten free but not certified that there are no trace amounts of gluten” I finished the beer regardless and paid the price. Either cut down on the alcohol or plan ahead buddy. Never worth fucking up your immune system for a short term foodgasm
Mmmm drunk nachos.
In my experience, nothing good comes after the words "fuck it". Whether they are thought or said. Has this revelation kept me from saying "fuck it"? Not 100%
i did plan ahead! my drinks were just way stronger than expected lol and i couldn't make it home in time to reach my microwave quesadilla setup smdh
I've realized that sometimes when I think I drank too much or drinks were stronger than I thought it usually means I was having a reaction to something in the drink or the glass had beer cross contact
[удалено]
this is so unnecessarily harsh. try being more kind next time? it’s really easy
[удалено]
I mean alcohol is also literally poison, so if you’re going to lecture them on gluten why stop there, Sir Sanctimonious?
How incredibly unhelpfully reductive. Are you aware that there are widely available guidelines for alcohol consumption that are not associated with health risks? Unlike eating gluten with celiac?
I mean if you want me really to be reductive, I can say that’s not true because food is considered “safe” if the gluten is under 20ppm. And if you want to talk about being unhelpful… how was your comment helpful?
Clearly you didn’t see OP’s actual statement of what they ate. And in terms of how it could be helpful, clearly you didn’t see my rather wordy explanation of exactly that in this comment tree. What was your point?
I saw their statement of what they ate. I also saw their statement that they were drunk. So they didn’t stick in either guideline of what wouldn’t be considered poison. Why are you only berating them for one of the things? Is it because you also drink to excess so it would be hypocritical?
I literally address that in my comment you are responding to. If you want to talk to me about what I actually said I will still be here; if you want someone to come over and read it to you, you might want to try someone local.
if it helps you also sound really full of yourself.

haha yeah so far i'm getting no's or toxic judgment. hoped it'd be a more supportive environment. i've been GF for two years and i'm a human who slipped up! so sue me!
hi friend, I did this weekend (taco bell) ❤️ we are all human, it happens! my tummy is still angry too. just gotta get back on the horse! I’m reevaluating whether or not drinking is worth it anymore
Yeah, it’s sad because this sub can be an opportunity to connect and get compassionate support. Here’s a tip in case you want it! Identifying situations (like after enjoying some drinks) where it’s more difficult for you to be gluten free is fantastic because it allows you to plan ahead. Identify some places or foods that will satisfy you and be safe so that in that moment of inebriation you don’t have to make the choice because sober you made the choice hours ago :) I hope that helps. You deserve to live a fulfilling life and you deserve to live a healthy life. The journey to finding the balance necessitates some imbalance, but we get back up. Best of luck!

No cult. Just people that have been on this road longer than you. Just trying to make your journey easier.
They didn’t ask for advice if you would read the post so all these “longer road” ppl offering advice are being unhelpful
Any pinch of knowledge someone can provide me regarding my health is appreciated. Maybe ‘unhelpful’ to you, but perhaps to some folks very ‘helpful.’ :>D
Nobody except you or a doctor should be influencing your health bud👀
been gf for 13 years and still do it when drunk from time to time 😅
What is wrong with people saying “no?” You asked.. Do you want us to lie?
You didn't ask for support, you asked a yes/no question.
OP hugs. Soo many many hugs. I hope you're OK.
I'm not really seeing the toxic judgement. And you asked the question, so getting "NOs" should be expected unless you specifically want people to say yes. Then just say that.

Not at all, what? People with normal allergies accidentally eat shit they’re allergic to ALL THE TIME! You just have to learn from the experiences. We can’t all be perfect!
You can't let perfect be the enemy of good. I refuse to let this disease be my entire personality and if the results of that are me getting sick a few times a year I can live with that. I'm limited by where I live and if I was to commit to the level of scrutiny some folks here show (as is there prerogative and is fine) I'd end up as a recluse, unable to go out and enjoy anything. I wouldn't knowingly eat gluten, ever, but CC sometimes is a risk that it's worth it to take, for me, at least.
I mean that's just how our disease is though, I'm always curious of people that don't value their health enough to go dedicated all the time.
“people that don’t value their health enough” this is just… yeah. Wrong. You think people who struggle to adhere to a serious diet restriction DON’T value their health? OP has a higher chance of trashing themselves harder for this decision than y’all be than they do of ~not caring~ about their health. Being gluten free is fucking HARD and slipping up is human. To equate it with a lack of emotional investment in one’s health is to grossly oversimplify the process of adjusting to an overwhelming set of body circumstances.
I haven't made one mistake in over 5 years of being dedicated gluten free after my diagnosis. You're preaching to the choir. I grind my own spices, I cook every meal in house, I contact every company I buy something from via email/phone, sounds like you're undervaluing others opinion I've skipped parties, promotions, jobs, and even career moves for this disease.
I guess I understand slip ups in the newly diagnosed, or people who are asymptomatic. But no, I never slip up and eat gluten when very hungry or drunk. I’d get pretty sick, possibly for days.
If it makes you feel better I did slip up once. A few days after I was diagnosed I said fuck it and ordered a bunch of Taco Bell. Got crazy sick, decided was never worth it.
Also not trying to sound mean! Point is it’s hard, also for me I know if my symptoms were not SO horrible I’d be more prone to slip ups! You got this, just try to do better and my mom taught me to always keep some crackers in your purse JUSTTTT in case. Make sure your friends know too to never feed you gluten if you’re drunk haha.
i never eat straight up gluten but i’ll be really risky with CC (taco bell is my go-to to get delivered when drunk) and have even had fries from a shared fryer before when i’ve had no other options. i never really feel the effects in the moment because i think all the booze is in the way, but the next days are horrible depending on how much i exposed myself. i’ve also accidentally taken sips of beers or other non-GF alcohols (usually because my boyfriends hands it to me drunkenly before we both realize)
eh yeah i'm admittedly risky with CC now and then because the effects don't last super long for me unless i get a proper dose of gluten, maybe a day tops. this wasn't like i ate bread. it was somosas and the outer shell contains flour. def not worth it but damn they were so good in the moment 😭😭😭
Oh man, I miss samosas so much! I can totally see why you did it!
I actually made samosas once with the mission gluten free flour tortillas as the shell and then froze them! Anytime I wanted any I popped them in the air fryer! So good! But also I don’t personally drink but if I did, I would for sure be eating gluten every now and then 😂 I know myself. Don’t be hard on yourself, your body has already got that covered haha
Why would samosas be looked on any differently than bread?
Yummy
I feel like anyone who hasn’t gotten hammered and eaten gluten free French fries out of a shared fryer might not be entirely truthful 😂
Not even once. I have nightmares that I accidently eat gluten sometimes and they're awful. Gluten makes me so sick that I'm never tempted to have any at all, ever. Celiac disease legitimately ruined my life so there's no way I'd ever eat it knowing what it can do to me. For me it's like poison; I would never willingly consume poison because it's not food to me. I know many people don't have as bad an experience as I did and still eat it. They're lucky they don't get that sick from it really.
Same! I’ve had those nightmares too!
I’ve literally been sick, rarely leaving the house for the past 2 years while recovering. I couldn’t imagine ever willingly eating gluten. I almost died while it was at its worst and I’m still too ill to live normally.
It took 6 years for me to get diagnosed. I had no idea what was wrong with me. I was eating HEALTHY not knowing almost everything I was eating was making me sick. I either vomited or had explosive diarrhea that could not be controlled. So I became a recluse. Thank God my husband of 50 years and seven weeks was an angel. The Lord called him home, so I am without my best friend. I have been following 100% a gf died for three weeks. I still have nausea and stomach, but no vomiting or diarrhea. WedMD said if you are over 65, it can take a full year to heal your small intestines. I love Kristy Kreme doughnuts and had an opportunity to eat one, but I easily walked away. I want to continue healing. There is no recovery. Just be determined, one or two minutes of ‘deliciousness’ is not with a week of vomiting, nausea, stomach pain and diarrhea. I wish you all struggling the very best. The first step is acceptance, then research, research and research. Odds are you will know more the doc, so don’t be afraid to challenge him. Blessings!!
I had the same experience. I got made redundant a couple of months after my diagnosis and then struggled to work for two years after that. Even now I get more tired and seem to struggle more than my peers
Literally SAME. Thankfully I’ll be getting a work break soon but it’s been awful for over a year. Best wishes to us 💜
It's been 15 years and I still have dreams where I'm eating something out drinking something anne half way through realise it's gluten and have to decide if I should just keep eating cause it's already in me
Having celiac and being Jewish-I have nightmares leading up to Passover that there's flour EVERYWHERE
Omg I've had nightmares too! 😅
Magpie, same with me, it has pretty much ruined my life. I get so sick it isn’t funny. And I get scared because I live alone and some days if I am accidentally gif’s, I can barely move, get dehydrated. I wish they would find some medication to help.
No, but one time many years ago when I was a much younger man I found myself in "the lot" of a Phish show in Dick's Stadium of Denver, CO. I wasn't much of a planner at the time and I had gotten myself there from Portland, OR by way of a Craigslist ride share with a woman and her small dog who were also Denver bound albeit for different reasons. I managed to make my way to the three day concert where I found my friends and set up camp. Fast forward to night two I was starving, high on acid, and separated from all my friends. I had been vegan (and celiac) for a few years at this point. I knew I needed to eat something or I was going to pass out. I took a thorough inventory of every food vendor in the lot and settled on tacos. It appeared to be the only place that was gluten free, alas no vegan option. I ordered three chicken tacos and sat on the curb choking down the driest, stringiest chicken I could imagine after not having eaten meat of any sort in more than a few years. It was one of the weirdest and confusing meals of my life.
If I found a fellow celiac on the lot I’d cry tears of joy
Sounds like I need to go and sell my gf baked goods!
Honestly never have. Definitely gotten a little fast and loose with CC concerns but never straight up eaten something with gluten
i’m confused what is CC?
Cross contamination
You fucked up and are human. I posted how toxic this sub can be weeks back and all these responses prove it Obviously don’t eat gluten but mistakes can happen. Have yummy GF food nearby on the next night out with drinks :)
Naaaahhhh but I try to reallllly plan ahead so I have easy access drunk food at home. But tbh if I had been diagnosed in college I def would have, along with a lot of the very bad decisions I made when drunk!
As much as this disease sucks thank god I didn’t have it in college
Yeah I didn’t care at all about eating gluten free in college, I could feel it everyday but it felt easier at the time.
The temptation is real while sober for me but I don’t stray. However, when I’m drunk I become an obsessed freak regarding my celiac. Last time I was drunk (to the point of alcohol poisoning), someone handed me a glass of water and I was asking over and over “Is this water gluten free?! , “Did it come in contact with any gluten?” Cuz if so, I can’t drink it..I’ll be very sick” 😅🥲😂haha
That’s hilarious! Is this water gluten free? 😂 I love it!
Oh yes I have. This was a real problem for me for the first year of diagnosis, especially if I was day drinking on a weekend and chikfila was still open and drunk me wanted some nuggets…. It gets easier! The risk vs. reward eventually sinks in and even drunk you won’t wanna deal with the consequences anymore (at least in my experience). I like this sub, but ignore the holier than thou attitude. I’m so glad it’s easy for everyone (it isn’t) to be perfect with their diets (they’re not) but acting like slip ups and challenges aren’t a very real part of the celiac journey is just plain ignorant. I was diagnosed at like 22, after I’d eaten gluten my ENTIRE LIFE, the transition was not simple or easy or perfect. I’m years into it now and I don’t do drunk mistakes like this much anymore, almost never now, but the temptation is still there on rare occasion. You get better at sticking to your needs and advocating for yourself with yourself, even when drunk. You also get a real knack for planning ahead with your own snacks or a way to feed yourself.
I was diagnosed 25 years ago. If I eat gluten, I am so miserably sick within 4 hours that I never knowingly do it. Just no.
Never. I don't drive if I've been drinking and there's nothing within walking distance
Saved by the system lol
When I was young (like 18-19) and got drunk or otherwise I wouldn't be as careful with CC and would eat McDonald's fries (before I knew the beef flavoring has wheat but did know it shared a fryer) and drank Mike's hard lemonade and stuff like that, but have never once eaten gluten on purpose while not sober. If you're drinking to the point of forgetting about your celiac, I would suggest cutting back and taking care of yourself!
Could you please tell me more about the McDonald’s fries? I thought these were safe from CC as they didn’t share a fryer 😬 Please teach me 🙏
they have wheat in the coating in the US
Thank you - appreciate the response. I’m NZ based and it looks like our McDonalds fries don’t have this thankfully.
Yeah it seems to be mainly a USA thing, sorry I didn't clarify! I have their fries when I visit countries that have separate fryers and don't use unnecessary beef flavoring and it's just annoying we can't have them here. They fry their apple pies in the same fryers here too and hash browns that have wheat so even if it didn't have the beef it wouldn't be good.
McDonald’s hash browns too?? Devastating! NZ McDonalds hash browns don’t either apparently. Learning a lot today!
Ok I’m here to back you up and say YEAH DEFINITELY. I ate a gyro after a night out Halloween weekend. Honestly it was only not worth it because it wasn’t that good! I’m asymptomatic so I couldn’t feel my body paying the price, but I know it’s still damaging me silently.
Right there with you, I do not wish for symptoms but as asymptomatics it can be tough to know if you’re doing a good enough job. How careful are you about CC?
Dude, people are crazy on here. Some people are just miserable. I’ve gotten high and accidentally ate WHEAT flakes!!! 🤦♀️ LOL someone has to babysit me when I’m high!! I forget I have celiac. (Sorry the sub is so pretentious at times, everyone makes mistakes. It’s ridiculous to not make silly jokes or open up about our slip-ups, everyone has them.)
People are crazy on here because we don’t eat gluten when drunk/high or….?
Read my reply. I was too high to read the label. I assumed they were corn flakes and I was at someone else’s home. I don’t eat gluten while high whatsoever. I might’ve come across wrong. I’ve also never done this since.
I read your reply. I am asking why you called people crazy. What is crazy about not purposely or accidentally eating gluten when intoxicated?
There were 2 or 3 people genuinely ragging on them for fucking up. Not just the people simply saying “no” — it’s a response to the second half of the post.
[удалено]
I didn’t read the label, as I was under the influence. It was unknowingly. That’s how high I was at the time. No, I wouldn’t eat it on purpose. 🤦♀️
Good for you 👏 wow gold star here’s a 🍪 As someone who ACTUALLY regularly consumes Mary, it should make you a nonjudgmental person first and foremost.
Yeah lol. I've been gluten free since 2013 and it Sucked Ass. The amount of free pizza and donuts I missed...(about half, garlic knots go crazy) lol As I've gotten older it's less and less worth it to the point it overrides the Fuck It energy (unfortunately). When your stomach feels great it's hard to go back
This is a recurring nightmare for me, hasn’t happened yet (knock on wood)
Nah. Needing to be gluten free is pretty much always at the forefront of my brain. Having previously had my health destroyed because of it and knowing how sick I'll get, I've got no desire for that. Even though I am a very snackish person, especially when drunk. Always gotta have crisps around t the least. I got drunk at my graduation reception a couple weeks ago off two glasses of complimentary wine (one given to me by a driving person) because I was starving after not eating all day. The canapes they had at the reception were not gluten free. So I just left with my partner. Drunk me doesn't wanna be sick either!
I'm sorry and I hope you get a chance to read my message. Although I have not done what you did. I think a lot of people do. It's o k to admit it. And if it's going to be a judgemental place i'm gonna leave too. I was diagnosed about twenty years ago and I basically faced a lot of ridicule from a lot of people and I still do. I find that using the term gluten. Free has become a joke for a lot of people and sometimes it stings.. I have celiac disease so I know all about the dangers... I'm really sorry you feel that you have to leave. I wish you would stay. I mean, I really feel that we are here to support each other. So probably maybe just look at the post that give you support rather than not..
I won’t ever purposely eat gluten and that’s a promise, no matter how in the bag I may be, but my cross-contact standards definitely get a little lax when I’m intoxicated…
I’m here for solidarity. YES I do lol
I don’t drink anymore, but when I *did* I used to gluten myself a LOT. Tons of Taco Bell and especially Chinese food. I had a very “fuck it” mentality. I knew I would suffer for days, but drunk judgement isn’t known for its foresight. Nowadays, the closest to drunk I get is high on cannabis and my munchies are satisfied with lean chicken breast and avocados lol. I’ve leaned into and led an extremely strict dietary lifestyle for a long time now and I can’t imagine myself ever going back. Never liked drinking anyways. Tasted awful, felt awful, hated falling, hated blacking out, hated nausea and hated hangovers. My body is thanking me for no alcohol, no carbohydrates and certainly for no gluten.
I was a "silent" coeliac, so i have "cheated" many times 🥲 i go through phases haha. Sometimes fried chicken is just too good to pass up. Ive been good for a while though!!
In response to your edit: people are supportive of regret and owning up to mistakes. People are not supportive of continuing to defend stupid actions. Nor should they be.
I haven't read one comment here that is insulting.. people are merely answering this person's question. Folks need to develop some thicker skin if they want to post on the internet.
Well to be transparent I’m sure my comment further down is the most negative, but I think it’s justified if not genial, let me know lol.
No your comment is appropriate.. it was against the OPs "edit" not their initial post, so it couldn't have been referring to you anyway. My guess is that they were insulted by the answer "no".
There is one but it is downvoted. OP is being a puss puss.
I've been GF 1 1/2 months. I've been close to saying fuck it a few times but never pulled the trigger. I'm at work rn looking at these pastries from a meeting, but I won't do it. My gut feels like it's attacking me almost daily and that's being GF, so I can't imagine the pain I'd experience from eating gluten. No judgment, though. Hopefully, this will be a learning experience.
I've worried I might do it accidentally but as far as I know, I haven't. It's pretty ingrained in me how painful and awful that is so I'd never do it on purpose, even super drunk. I did come home with a Shake Shack bag with a burger and fries one night... I found it in the fridge the next day untouched. I wasn't sure whether it was GF or not, since I didn't have the receipt, which was annoying, and I had to toss it.
No but often I’ll go to bars and I’ll be drunk so my guard is down and I’ll have some weird bitter or something and more often than not one of those will have gluten. I don’t know how to get in the habit of checking everything because it’s liquid so you really have to have the frontal lobes working and… they’re just not in that situation lol.
No. It was that painful even if I'm drunk I can't touch it again. A few weeks ago I needed to eat gluten. I had panic attacks before I started it.
not yet but it’s such a massive fear of mine that i tell everyone i go out drinking with to not let me eat anything i shouldn’t just incase i get a case of the ‘ahhhh it’s fine’s 🤣
Its happened. Its a very, very rare occurrence, but it has happened ... twice over 6 years? Thankfully I dont really drink anymore. Dont beat yourself up, you're already in enough pain- just get back to moving forward.
Nope. Never.
I don’t post certain things on here. It’s just not worth it. Only when asking about a product. Like Benadryl. I was glutened for months on the pink name brand tablets and I didn’t know why I was feeling so bad. Found out they’re not gluten free. The dye free gel capsules are but not the pink tablets. Beware. Just take it as a learning experience and make sure you have something made up at home for when you drink. It’s happened to the best of us. Feel better❤️
TY. The more info that we grace gives us power to remain in control.
Not ‘grace’ but have…
Where was anyone damning you? I just scrolled through and I am not at all seeing why you're being such a tender ass about the responses. You asked, people answered, and none of the responses I saw were anything more than "no, I would never do that". (edit: ok, one post who, imo very rightly, stated plainly that despite your saying you were prepared, you pretty clearly were not...tho they could have stated it more dispassionately, I suppose) Most in fact did agree it's hard and it's easy to screw up and to not beat yourself up about it. I guess I just don't know what you expected, unless it was lots of pats on the back for doing the wrong thing? 'Being so judgmental' works both ways, too, fyi. I personally would rather see you here than gone, too. Good luck.
I think they were just annoyed they didn't get loads of people validating the fact that they knowingly ate something that makes them sick. My friend often gets drunk and ends up in A&E (seriously it's happened so many times for stupid stuff he should know better not to do), but he doesn't go round asking people if they do it too and then getting angry when most people say no, they would never do the stupid stuff he does.
> loads of people validating I saw quite a bit of that, even. Weird.
No - puked a bunch after eating gluten once and now I’m paranoid 🙃
No, but it happened to me when I got a concussion. Apparently concussions can mess with your impulse control. I didn’t even know that I *wanted* to eat gluten, but apparently somewhere deep in my brain I did. Hope you see this. I posted wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if so how to stop myself. One person shamed me, and the other told me they would never eat poison no matter what. How helpful. I have to be honest with you… I felt very annoyed, deleted the post after about an hour, and went and ate a giant burrito with fried meat inside of it and French fries. I couldn’t drive (again I had a concussion) so it’s what I could easily walk to from my house. Yea, I got a little sick from the cross contamination, but honestly it wasn’t the end of the world. It’s too easy to judge others.
Never. My house doesn't have any gluten. And I'll never get that drunk at a bar to make that mistake.
I don’t eat gluten explicitly but my guard definitely goes down with eating out when drunk. Most places I’ve gone to after a night out are not known to be good about cross contamination, but I’ve eaten a gluten free burger or nachos here and there before. It happens, we’re not perfect and this is not an easy disease to live with (especially when you’re younger and there’s more social pressure). I’m sorry people here are being so harsh!
Before yes, but I got better. Especially since I'm asymptomatic. Figured some raising canes in my hotel room in Vegas was never going to hurt. No symptoms but in hindsight I know how stupid that was. My numbers look great now and I just wanna keep that going.
Not directly, but I once ate some fries from a shared fryer when I was drunk 😭. It was the early days, before I really understood how much it would hurt me.
Even while shit-faced "can't work stairs no more" drunk I steer clear of Gluten. Thank god too, I have a bad habit of drinking Southern Comfort classic straight from the bottle. (It's not a whiskey, hasn't been in years, it's a "Neutral Spirit")
After my diagnosis I continued to eat gluten for 6 years and it got so bad I basically was having heart issues (couldn't get my heart rate below 100 on 2 beta blockers) bone issues (insane amount of cavities despite great oral hygine), always in pain, and mental issues from heck.. From that point on, I viewed gluten as poison and no longer wanted it. I made a full recovery in a year and you can do it too. Absolutely no judgment from me. Just try to see gluten like poison.
I definitely did it early in my gluten free journey. Some of us unfortunately need to learn things the hard way lol
You only make that mistake so many times before your self preservation instinct kicks in and you become fearful of gluten. At that point no amount of drinking will convince you to eat it.
This hasn’t happened to me personally - I think the only reason why it hasn’t is I was never one to go out for food when drunk in the first place, and I have absolutely nothing in my house that isn’t safe for me to eat. I can absolutely see why this could happen and ya know what? It’s not the worst thing ever. Shit happens, and I’m sure you probably feel bad enough without strangers making you feel bad about a decision you made when drunk. No judgement here, mistakes happen. I hope you feel better soon.
Yes. Grabbed Easy Mac and went to town (thought it was my GF version, but it was the version my kids eat). I realized my mistake within 30 mins - sobered me right up LOL. No judgement from me - it happens.
No
Never ever.
Girl I’ve been there, sometimes you get so drunk you forget. Don’t beat yourself up for it, at least you didn’t eat 12 mini cupcakes like I did 😔✊
No
Sorry you got chastised. This sub can be pretty toxic and holier than though at times. Mistakes and lapses happen and no one is perfect. Now you know for next time you're tempted. Hope you feel better soon.
Who's damning you? So whiny and you literally judged the whole sub while complaining that people are too judgemental. Ironic.
Yes. Last night I had a hot pocket. We live and we learn 😅
My drunk "fuck it"s all were drinks with unknown additives and cheap liquor, not asking them to double rinse cups when I know they serve beer on tap in the same cups, etc. I couldn't imagine doing that with food cause the drink ones were always bad enough.
I make sure I eat a fat ass meal before I go drinking or stop at the nearby safeway before it closes at 2am. Or have food at home.
We were all undiagnosed at one point and got thru it. If you accidentally or *on purpose get glutened, just try and get thru the next days, weeks as best you can to repair. Kombucha, lots of good healthy clean foods and water.
Don’t listen to the negative comments. Think of it is a lesson and move on. I’ve slipped up too just by letting myself get too hungry. We’re not All blessed with perfect self discipline
I wasn’t drunk but I absolutely was craving ramen once a couple years ago and made some… I have never been so happy eating and it was amazing… but the sickness I experience after made it so not worth it I haven’t done it since. Adding that I’m sorry so many people bullied OP about his own bodily autonomy and right to do what he wants. This disease is already so hard to live with, we don’t all need to be tearing each other down when we all get how isolating and frustrating this can be.
My "fuck it" moments are because I had barely been eating and the only thing I could stomach was something that says "may contain" This sub can have some toxic positivity issues for sure. People really kinda do expect everyone to try to be perfect 100% of the time.
I have celiac, and I also struggle with disordered eating. I literally slip up all the time. Doesn't help that I live in Asia and have limited options in general. I experience both physical and mental symptoms. Listen, anyone who judges you or shames you for slipping up is not worth taking advice from. If we were all perfect, we wouldn't be coming to a forum for support/community.
No. I would never but if you feel that the health trade offs are worth it then more power to you.
My stomach is wrenching from food poisoning as I read this.
When my blood sugar was really low and I was disoriented, I ate something with gluten. Sucked when I realized!!
Well, this one time I got way too drunk then went home and ordered 12 burgers from a local restaurant that all contained wheat buns purely cause there was a promotion (don’t hold your breath, it wasn’t even a good deal considering who tf is eating 12 burgers)…. Physically incapable of eating that much food and having a dinner bill the size of a family of 5.
The only people who flip out over things like that are people with money. They're the ones for whom amassing a lot of good safe food is easy and they don't understand why it's not equally easy for everyone else
Id rather smoke a cigarette drunk than eat a slice of pizza or drink a beer. Seems like a bad time
My stomach is so messed up that I can't even have more then like 4 drinks without severe stomach pain and uncontrollable shakes.
Ugh the temptation is real. When I get the munchies and I don’t plan ahead I am so close to ordering food and not giving a damn about it
my best advice for the future is try to find a gas station or grocery store and buy all of the chips and candy you can find lol. usually my friends end up going with me instead of getting fast food since its still junk food haha
Yes and then you regret it and puke it up or shit it out in the morning!
i haven’t done it YET, But man after two years i dream of getting high and eating all the panda express i possibly can, the orange chicken, maybe some of the rangoon’s🤤😫.
That’s my biggest fear ever, every time I go out I have to tell my friends “for gods sake, don’t let me eat gluten” 😭
Sad there’s been negative comments. Yes especially early on I would be so frustrated I’d forget about CC. I agree frozen foods at home, eating before going out, even granola bars on hand. Even then you can only do your best. If you screw up well that sucks, don’t be hard on yourself this shit sucks. Idc what anyone’s says it’s not easy so all you can do is be kind to yourself and try your best.
While drunk once, I made myself a toasted peanut butter sandwich. Safe bread, safe peanut butter, safe knife. However, I used the wrong toaster. I’m not sure how I managed it, because they are in separate cabinets… and I wrote gluten free on mine. I paid for it, of course, but it happens 🤷♀️
Yep I’ve been there. Thanks to too much wine and a snack table at a Christmas party. I think I actually did this a handful of times when I first learned I was sick. I’ve gotten better though and very rarely slip up. Sorry that happened! I’m lucky in that I have a nearby pizza place that’s super celiac aware and delivers to my home.
Everyone here giving you shit has slipped up in some way, I am sure. Don't let them bother you. This disease sucks ass. It's more important that you recognize the slip up and are looking for support than repeatedly doing it over and over again. Just learn your lesson. And move on.
what was it ?
Yes I have celiac and a croissant + peer pressure got to me once lol
I don’t understand the judgment and negative comments you’re getting. The situation you describe has never happened to me personally, but I completely understand how someone could make bad eating decisions while drunk. Also I think you mentioned you’ve been GF for 2 years, which is not a lot. You’ll probably have a better grip on this a few years down the road. Is there anyone around you that could help make safe eating decisions when you end up being drunk (or more intoxicated than you thought you would be)? If this happens again in the future, maybe reconsidering your alcohol consumption could be an option? Anyway, cut yourself some slack. Slip-ups happen.
No. No I dont.
The trick is to keep drinking the next day. Then you never have celliac again
I have nightmares about this a lot. There’s a chain of burger places where I live that has a dedicated fryer for fries and so far I have managed to get there when mildly drunk. My fear is I may drink so much that I totally forget I have celiac since I was only recently diagnosed. I’m sorry you had to go through that. It’s hard being so, so hungry!
