Sugar? Or Just Off A Couple Days!

Well, I started taking a multi vitamin every morning since Tuesday (i know a long time huh?). I think multi vitamins effect me when I eat chocolate. Let me tell you... I eat chocolate EVERY DAY! I don't get dizzy or feel sick when I eat large quantities. Since Tuesday, I feel sick and dizzy when I eat chocolate. Need I remind you I eat this 60% cacao dark chocolate every day! The sickness or dizziness happens about 25-40 minutes after I eat it. I WILL NOT GIVE UP ANOTHER DELECTABLY DELICIOUS TREAT!!!! NO NO NO! YOU CANT MAKE ME! So your probably wondering... does it have gluten in it, well you tell me... Ingredients: Chocolate, Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Milk Fat, Soy Lecithin/An Emulsfier and Vanilla. Doesnt look like it. The packaging doesnt say anything about processing where wheat is processed, nothing. And why now? Now that I am on a multi vitamin? The multi vitamin is Kirkland brand and on the side says "Gluten-Free". Ding Dong Countdown... 66 Days!

What is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is a disease of the small intestine. The small intestine is a 22 foot long tube that begins at the stomach and ends at the large intestine (colon). The first 1-1/2 feet of the small intestine (the part that is attached to the stomach) is called the duodenum, the middle part is called the jejunum, and the last part (the part that is attached to the colon) is called the ileum. Food empties from the stomach into the small intestine where it is digested and absorbed into the body. While food is being digested and absorbed, it is transported by the small intestine to the colon. What enters the colon is primarily undigested food. In celiac disease, there is an immunological (allergic) reaction within the inner lining of the small intestine to (gluten) that are present in wheat, rye, barley and, to a lesser extent, in oats. The immunological reaction causes inflammation that destroys the lining of the small intestine. This reduces the absorption of dietary nutrients and can lead to symptoms and signs of nutritional, vitamin, and mineral deficiencies.
