Gluten free in a post apocalyptic world.

This might get removed by mods because it’s not super super relevant, but it’s always been such a curiosity of mine, because I love the post apocalyptic genre, especially video games.

If anyone has played games such as Fallout or the Last Of Us, you know that a common theme is scarce food. It makes me wonder what someone with celiac would do. Would we just eat plants? Or would we slowly starve to death as we damage our intestines further? It’s such an interesting and lowkey scary thought.

Medical supplies being extremely limited is also a common theme of games and movies set in a post apocalyptic/post mass destruction events. So it also brings the thought of people with immediately life threatening allergies. Would they have readily accessible epipens and other medical devices to save their lives?

This is something that really fascinates me. It’s purely a hypothetical scenario (mostly) but it’s still so intriguing to think about. Let me know your thoughts!
