Oh hey there.
Look at me, actually writing something down for once. Woohoo!
Anyway, I've started doing something I'm pretty excited about - it was suggested to me by a friend that I do a gluten-free trial. Why, you may ask? Because I have a history of stomach issues. My family has no major allergies or anything, but someone close to me suffers with digestive problems and I do too. It's only over the past year that I've really started picking up on it - and it's not specific. Which makes it harder, I think, to pinpoint what the problem is. Lately I've been trying to eat less meat, less dairy, less processed. I'm by no means perfect - my idea of "cooking" is pasta from a package which is done in 10-15 minutes and canned sauce. But I'm trying to better my eating habits, one day at a time.
So for this week, I'm going gluten free. If it makes a difference, I guess I'll have to keep it up. It's not easy - and I'm weak. But given some of the symptoms of Celiac disease, I can't help but wonder if it's true, and has just gone unheard of. I never thought of an allergy, to be honest. We'll see, I guess.
So today, breakfast was:
GF bread with vegan margarine and organic peanut butter
Serious Coffee caramel macchiato
Lunch:
GF strawberry granola with almond milk
Banana
Dinner:
Brown rice pasta (shells) with alfredo sauce
Garlic Butter Prawns
Iced coffee
And, because I can't help myself, later there was tea and sour patch kids.
So, do you want to follow me on this week of GF eating? Should I even be posting this on the internet? Does anyone care?
Well, regardless, I'll be posting here and there along this week and who knows? Maybe this will be my "cure".
