@AsdaServiceTeam went to make dinner... and the peppercorn sauce i bought TODAY, is 2 days out of date.... ewwwwww. Guess i can't return an empty packet? :(

[Alexandra Gruar @Alex_Tyndall]

@marksandspencer thank you for removing the gluten free fridge section in the shop.. as it ‘wasn’t working’ whilst leaving the hundred of normal food untouched.. guess il have to shop elsewhere for my dinner……

@newlook It’s a 45 minute wait???

[Alexandra Gruar @Alex_Tyndall]

@newlook I received my online order, and I need to change sizes.. but this means I have to return everything and re buy it, but I got 25% my original order.. so now I don’t want to spend more money on re-buying… so I guess il just return my whole order.. 😒 not impressed at all!

@British_Airways thought those travelling with infants were supposed to board first?? Currently going to be last onboard with my 3 month old. Utter carnage. Customer service - zero.

Oh @asda @AsdaServiceTeam WHY, are you promoting diet culture? My gluten free bars are in ‘healthier biscuits’ which for someone with an eating disorder is so triggering. Please stop making money from eating disorders and diet culture and spreading ‘under 100 calories’ 🤬🤯🤦🏻‍♀️

@Karina_Maudsley Ahhh I was really hoping to do this, but being coeliac I cannot 😞

I really don’t like talking about weight in humans. Humans can not, and should not, be measured in that way. BUT if you’re still restricting food you’re likely not at the weight your body should be. And that’s giving your brain the wrong message.

[Alexandra Gruar @Alex_Tyndall]

Walking down the street and hear a group of women talking about going gluten free to lose weight.. shut up. I’m coeliac with an eating disorder.
Diet culture😩
People seriously need to stop this idealisation of losing weight. Your body is the least important thing about you!

[Alexandra Gruar @Alex_Tyndall]

When you order a drink in @StarbucksUK and you hear the barista say ‘I don’t want to make that. You make it’ to the other barista… 🙃🙃🙃 thanks for making me feel like a burden!
