I've really come a long way. From getting death threats, harassed & attacked because people believed I was faking or exaggerating my disabilities for clout and money. To owning my successful disability aid business. And helping thousands of people over the last 5 years. I'm proud of myself.

Years ago, when my business was under 1 year old. People were so sure I was faking being disabled because I looked fine. Yes I used to be able to fake being able bodied for many years. But I conquered my internalized ableism and decided to be open about my struggles and get help/support.

"You can't be disabled! You're young and look fine!" The big bottle of synthetic proteins I have to have injected into me every two months to keep my Crohn's at bay says otherwise. :) I know how it feels, and I'm so sorry you had to go through it, too. 💖🫂

As someone with heavy gluten sensitivity, I feel this! While some days I don't look disabled, other days I do. And even when I don't, I'm still disabled cause I have permanent bad tummy days 😅 Pasta was my enemy over the weekend cause I ended up with the wrong noodles. Tasted so good but was hell 😭

Oogh. Luckily I don't have any dietary sensitivities (yet), but my FIL has the same thing as you, so I've witnessed how bad it can get. May your next pasta meal treat you kinder. 💖🫂
