Being gluten free sucks when you live in a developing country

Nobody gives a shit. There is no gluten -free option on menus. EVERYTHING has gluten. Ppl act like it's sth you do for show-off and they think being gluten free and being vegan/vegetarian is basically the same thing. There is just two company that produce gluten-free stuff and one of them sucks, and for using the other you should be approved on a list that you have celiac. You know how many ppl are on that list where I live? 50! Only 50 ppl on that list in this city, and I live in a metropolis! Yeah, ofc you can find gluten-free products imported from other countries, but they are too expensive to live on them.
Fuck!

Poor thing. I feel sorry for you because celiac is so extremely harsh. People aren't aware it's more than a sensitivity, an allergy or intolerance; but an autoimmune disease in which gluten destroys the body. Fresh foods are available right? Coconut or rice flour? I rarely rely on the processed gf substitutes, that are not only overpriced, but also toxic with all that xantham gum. Check out Pinterest, as there's a wide variety of options that are quick, inexpensive and healthy. Once I learned, the diet became relatively easy peasy. Good luck, you'll get there! It's just unfortunate that you don't have the dining out options, but they're not always reliable either.

@MoonlightLullaby thank you❤
Most food from the national cuisine is gluten-free actually. I can buy rice flour and/or corn flour.
Also I didn't know xantham gum is toxic, I was about to order some🤯

@WonderfulOne You're welcome. 😊 Not necessarily toxic, but not very nutritious nor easy on the tummy. 😉
