Seemingly out of the blue, I started dealing with chronic constipation that lead me to be hospitalized. I got a full blood panel from a GI doc, as he thought it was my thyroid. Turns out, I may possibly have celiac, and I am getting an endoscopy in a few months.

I always thought people with celiac dealt with diarrhea! And I’ve never had any issues with gluten my entire life. Unfortunately, I have to wait awhile for my endoscopy, but I’m going to attempt gluten free to see how I feel.

Those who found out they have celiac through constipation - what were your other symptoms? What does it feel like after you have gluten? I cried my entire way home from the doctor because I feel almost sort of devastated, because this could be a lifelong thing if I’m truly diagnosed. But I want to feel better. I want the abdominal pain to stop. I want the lethargic feeling to stop as well.

I work a fast paced fast food job. I try to get six refills of my 24oz water bottle in every day. I can usually get 3-4 in before my 5pm shift. How can I drink more at work?

I’m a shift lead at a fast food job. One of my coworkers (who is still a regular team member) made a comment about how he feels like he has to code switch and “act white” around our GM/customers or else he’ll be fired. This comment didn’t sit well with me, and I feel like as his coworker I should do something about it so he doesn’t have to feel this way, but I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to overstep and seem like a “white savior,” but I don’t want him to feel like he has to act a certain way to be respected and valued in the workplace.

I am never going to fully understand the Black experience and what it’s like to experience racism, and I am sure that a lot of Black people feel similar as he does. I am just not sure what course of action to take to make him feel more comfortable at work.

i killed it before i could get a photo, but i just saw a cockroach nymph. however, it did not have the typical tan spot in the middle that germans typically have. it was completely black brown. am i in the clear? i live on the third floor of an apartment in florida. outdoor hallways with a few bugs during the summer.

as the title says, i don’t have my girlfriend’s phone password or feel the need to have it. i trust her, she’s never secretive with her phone, texts/scrolls right next to me, etc. it’s her phone, i’m not entitled to it, and there’s no reason for me to look at it anyways. we’ve been together a year and a half lol. my friend says it’s weird, suspicious, and “what if she’s cheating on you” and talks about how she goes on her boyfriend’s phone all the time. i don’t get it.

shoutout to olipop, skyr probiotic yogurt, water, miralax, and hope. that is all.
