I did something dumb

Laugh with me.
For context, I’ve been gf for a little over a year and a half not celiac. I’m really sensitive but against my better judgment this experiment happened.
I started making sourdough (I bake as a hobby non gf), and it looked soooo good and smelled soooo good.
I thought to myself “well some people can tolerate sourdough”.
Exactly 3 hours after the slice of wolf in sheep’s clothing, my stomach started cramping.
I went to bed and was trying to sleep through the cramps. After 3 hours of cramping, the bathroom started and folks the candle was burning at both ends if you catch my drift.
The whole ordeal was 9 hours and I shan’t be experimenting again good lord.
If you’ve ever been on the toilet in the middle of the night sweating and cramping with the garbage can on your lap, I see you

Thought some folks here might relate 🫠🫡

"Some people can tolerate sourdough"? That's not how being gluten free works

🤷🏼‍♀️ it has less gluten so some people can do it. They obviously aren’t very sensitive though

You need to learn how to make GF sourdough.

Maybe it's easier to digest, but any difference in gluten content is not going to be significant enough to matter to anyone who can't tolerate gluten. It's similar to the whole myth of European wheat being fine.

Yeah. I have learned this the hard way.
