Almost done now. I can’t hold back enough bad words to convey how terrible I think it is, that six weeks of eating gluten is necessary for this test. It is the stupidest thing imaginable, that this is the best test we have. I have had to put myself in the position of being sick for six solid weeks for this. I know how dumb this is, and everyone close to me does as well now. Six weeks of potential cancer causing damage to my body. Six weeks of diarrhea. Six weeks of puking. Perhaps with the mountains of shite I produced in the last six weeks there could have been an earlier test developed? I had plenty of samples available!
But the government is quick to send me their shitty colon testing reminders. Endlessly. Right when I can’t actually do the test for them. Hey morons, perhaps the overall health care system could be just a little invested in my health care? But no. Being gluten intolerant (the health care system has no available therapies for this BTW) is a very poorly understood illness. Most people feel free to let you know it is all in your head and not even a real illness. I am following a fad. Yippie.
Being gluten intolerant is good for finding the bullshit in others. It is suddenly easy to find people with idiot opinions about things they don’t know anything about. Oh wait, I was reading American politics, never mind! Same difference!
Ugh my stomach hurts, time to go eat my daily gluten prescription for the 6th last time.
