Happy Thanksgiving. 🙂 Don’t all little girls celebrate Thanksgiving by putting a hat on a turkey and letting it look in a mirror? 😉
So…where’ve I been?
I’ll just go ahead and put this here…
So…yeah.
I went to the gastroenterologist for something else and left with this. 🙁 If you can’t read it…it’s Celiac confirmation. The blacked out stuff is personal information + what I originally went in for and don’t want on the blog.
I can’t believe this. I’ve lived most of this year eating pretty much all the wheat around because we (me and my other dr’s) thought the original 2013 diagnosis was wrong. The gastro thinks that reintroducing gluten is directly related to some of the health things I’ve been going thru for the last several months.
I was in such denial I even took multiple pregnancy tests to try to account for all the bloating. Because ya know it’s so much more likely for the woman who hasn’t ovulated in several years to be pregnant than not able to eat donuts. 😉
Anyway…I’ve been dealing with this…clearing out the cabinets…changing up things for Thanksgiving meal…getting reacquainted with cup4cup…and being a little bit mopey.
But if I’m completely honest with myself…I know it’s something I have to do and just the week and half-ish of no gluten has changed my health in dramatic ways. Those awful blood spots on my arms are even healing up really fast.
I don’t wanna dwell on it too much more right now. Obviously I’m gonna have to go back to cooking everything gluten-free but I’m not sure how much I’ll put on here. I mean I’ll post pics of stuff but I don’t think I want to go back to posting a bunch of recipes. At least not until I’m feeling a whole lot better and have the energy to do so.
Those of you who know me in person…”I told you so” will be accepted til midnight tonight. 😉
Hope y’all have the best Thanksgiving weekend with those you love. 🙂
Be safe on the roads and in the malls and I’ll see ya next week when hopefully I’ll get this space back to normal. 🙂
Let’s go old school with the music today while I ask…Is tequila gluten- free? ’cause I think I’m gonna be needin’ the bottle. 😉
