After talking to a newly found co-worker, on my mobile, after work, I went and bought some gluten-free pasta and pasta sauce at Trader Joes. I really didn't know what to get I was so lost, sad, angry, freaked, and stressed out at the same time, but trying to play it cool. Anyways, I was planning Italian Sausage, pasta and salad tonight for dinner. Italian food is one of my favorites, if I had to give that up I don't know what I would do. So, I get home and cook dinner and begin my research in Celiac Disease. I notice I have to stay away from wheat, barley, gluten (ha ha just seeing if your paying attention), rye, oats and malts.
My cooking experience tonight wasn't a great one. Of course I flubbed the pasta and it was mushy (I didn't read the directions) but we ate it anyways. I have to say it wasn't that tasty. It tasted like rice with pasta sauce, Yuck! I always eat rice with soy sauce not tomato sauce. If this is what this gluten-free thing is all about, nasty tasting food, I guess I will have to eat "GLUTEN"! Hell I have been living with bloating and stomach cramping all my life... its not that difficult. I'm just not so sure about the stabbing pain on my right side.
After dinner I began on more research. I looked up celiac and gluten-free to find out what its all about. Interesting my doctors nurse didn't care to explain. Everyone in my meeting who heard my conversation gave information on what they knew. Well, where does my life go from here? If this is hereditary (found that on the web DQ2 and DQ8 gene are now active) who did I get it from and do my kids have it? I NEED ANSWERS! I AM NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL I AM THE ALL KNOWING! (evil laugh) HA HA HA HA HA HA!
This is going to be hard... going from real food to real different food.
Note to a new Celiac person... READ THE DIRECTIONS OF THE PASTA BEFORE YOU COOK IT FOR THE FIRST TIME!
