I’m a little frustrated, right now, that my family wants to eat fast food.  Due to my allergies, I cannot.(Gluten Intolerant)  I know it’s a PLUS that I can’t, but it still is depressing.  Does that make sense?  I mean really, NEVER being able to just "splurge" on whatever you want to eat?!  But DH will be bringing back Chicken wings… I LOVE them!  Due to cross contamination that occurs in the fryer, I cannot partake. 

It’s not like I’m really hungry, but I can’t cheat even if I wanted to.  It’s dinner time, I’m not hungry, my allergies(sinus issues) are horrible right now, and I think I just want a liquid dinner tonight.(wine)  At least it won’t make me itch. 

After a couple of horrible trips to the Med Center & the E.R.(in the same day)  I have figured out through the process of elimination, that I’m Gluten Intolerant.  At first, it was depressing.  I mean after all, not being able to have a "Cheat meal" like pizza, bread, or a beer?!  But once I gave it some thought, how FABULOUS!!  I can’t CHEAT or have a TREAT!!!  It’s something to celebrate!  It should make my transformation easier:)  That makes me happy!!  No more tempting foods or drinks.   It’s all good!

I’ve had to do a lot of research of the things that contain Gluten & it’s mind boggling!  It’s in medicine, sauces, drinks, & yes, protein drinks.  I have found a protein drink that is Gluten-Free & I am waiting for it to arrive today!  It’s ISOFemme from Allmax Nutrition.  I found them by doing research on BB.com & also found that Tamar, from PlanetTamar is also Gluten intolerant(she actually has a more serious form called Celiac Sprue).  She has been very helpful, Thank you, Tamar! 

Cheers!
