Another Great Day !

Hey, this is great.  I feel super.  Today I had an omelet for breakfast, just eggs and veggies.  Lunch, veggies, beans and rice.  I know, you are probably saying it's boring eating all this over and over and I have to agree but....when it makes you feel good it's what works.  I do plan on going to the store and getting some gluten free food like bread, cookies (hey, I have to live a little) and more stuff.  So, so far so good.

Thanksgiving, Oh No !

Why the "Oh No!"  Well, I  have been reading about Gluten allergies.  I think I just might have some form of that.  I first heard about it while watching the "View".  Elizabeth talked about her allergy to it as I was listening some of the things she said she experienced, I also had experienced.  So I looked it up on line then look up even more sites and then went to Elizabeth's site and ordered her book.  It's like a whole new world has opened up for me.  Hey, this is good news even though I am a bread lover from way back.  I mean the rosemary and olive oil bread you can buy from Costco is to die for.  I have always loved bread.  When I would have cramping and bloating in my tummy I would just have a slice of good bread.  Wow!  Then to find out that was probably what was causing the problem. I still can't believe it.

This is all new to me.  I have just started this so will keep you posted.  It's funny I have been eating healthy (I thought) for a long time.  Now I realize it was all good except for the gluten.  I even made my husband eat whole grain bread because it was better for him.  Now he tells me he never liked it.  Well we will see how this goes.  So far today I have had an egg, hash browns (which my husband made me for breakfast) and coffee.  Lunch was brown rice and veggies.  So far so good.  I'm not kidding I did just start.  I am aware of reading labels now not just for the fat content but gluten, wheat etc.  I looked at the ingredients on some nuts that were suppose to be healthy.....guess what ?  wheat starch !  So that just goes to show you.  I will keep you posted and wish me luck.  Tootles
