Okay, Gluten intolerance I can accept but how dare you say fibromyalgia and candida are made up? How uneducated are you? Read a god damn book before you “call bullshit”
I second that call.
Attention, I need attention.
Except its not bullshit.
Sure the grandstanding of some people about gluten is annoying, but I know a few people who have dropped gluten and have experienced significant changes in their health, despite not being celiac. And guess what, they don’t preach about it.
And candida is just yeast, not a disease, we all have it. Candida infections can certainly happen, as I, and many women I’m sure, know from personal experience.
Keeping whining about it though, you ignorant ass.
Yes, empirical data aside, it’s all bullshit…
Now, those who become their illness are indeed annoying and will be less likely to recover or respond to medication; and are in a category all unto themselves.
Fibromyalgia is certainly a legitimate disorder and people who suffer from it would have a very difficult time. I’ve never had anyone call in sick from gluten intolerance. Bottom line, if you are above this person(s) in the reporting chain, it’s none of your business. They can call in sick due to having a sore thumb for all you should care. It’s works different for different employers but usually if an employee misses so several days in a row you have the option to ask for a doctors note…if they miss several days without calling in, you can process their record of employment for abandonment. But you should not, under any circumstances, ‘call bullshit’ on them because the bottom line is YOU DON’T KNOW. You could be wrong in your judgement.And also, as I said, it’s none of your business.
I know people who have had sections of their bowels removed. But yeah, they just wanted attention.
Two facts:
Other people’s opinions have never changed an ill person’s reality. (medical profession excepted)
That will never stop unhelpful, unwanted opinions from spewing.

To be healthy today is a blessing!
