I'm going to be creating and posting these "pickone" images that ask you to choose between two (or more) choices. Hope you guys enjoy it :)

The number of people in here virtue signaling by refusing to follow the prompt. Pick one!

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment hoping to spur some conversation about alternatives. I don't know what virtue would be signaled here. Also, I'm still awaiting official diagnosis but a DNA test mentioned I was likely to have celiac's, my dad recently got diagnosed with it, and I've always had issues after eating nearly anything, so no wheat for me for now.

It was not so much you, but the folks who just can't help but say that those are unhealthy and here's a better option. Some dude took time out of his day to make a picture (maybe he's AI, I dunno) and ask a question, and it just seems nitpicky and unproductive (and I guess I mean that in the dumbest way possible, I'm on my phone talking about pictures of breakfast confectionary, essentially).

That all being said, if the whole point is to start conversations, I guess even this counts and so upvotes to everyone.

EDIT: And sorry for your bad news but hopefully it's good news because it's not Schrodinger's upset digestive tract, it presumably happens regardless of whether you've verified the cause. I don't think I've got anything, but the older I get the worse things like IPA beers and heavy bread dishes hit me. Tired, bloated, etc. I just attribute it to my body failing me.

Yeah, my mom's whole side of the family has issues like that. Dad's not as much, but I may have lost the genetic lottery in that bit. Best of luck to you with your issues as well!
