Happy New Year!

Its been almost a year since I posted. I have been on the down low enjoying what I know about being and eating Gluten Free and not out searching for anything new.

I have been asked to write a book about my experiences, but how boring is that? With all the new products and everything, this blog serves the public well and it stays up to date (plus its free and I dont have to have an editor look over my writing).

I am now pretty confortable with where I am at with the Celiac Disease and have realized noting is worth eating to make me feel like crap. When your newly Gluten Free you think everyone is out to get you and not care about you. In fact its the oppposite. I have had so much positivity in the last year and am thankful for that.

I am now at a point where I am helping other Anti-Glutites enjoy life and understand what newly being Gluten Free is about. It doesnt need to be stressful, dramatic, painful or mental. You have to think of it as a new adventure and try new things and get excited about it.

Pass my blog along if you know of anyone who is new to being Gluten Free. Hell if you have my number give me a call! Nothing better than to have someone empathize with you over the phone and chat about this Gluten Free thing with.

Happy eating, learning and living! Gluten Free...

Good Belly Probiotic WARNING!

A few weeks back I found another Probiotic drink called Good Belly. They have several different flavors like, Strawberry Rosehips, Peach Mango, and Blueberry Acai. Although it was more expensive than Yakult it's Dairy-Free (the reason I was looking for a different probiotic). Good Belly is also Soy-Free, Wheat-Free and Vegan. Anyways, the taste was ok (Yakult was still way better tasting) and the Good Belly brand supposedly has 20 Billion Live and Active Cultures per serving. Great right?

 

WARNING!!!!! JUST BECAUSE A PACKAGE SAYS WHEAT-FREE DOESN'T MEAN ITS GLUTEN-FREE!!!!!

 

All I can say is AHHHHHHHHHHH! MAKE THE PAIN STOP PLEASE!!! OHHHH MY TUMMY! MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! AHHHHHHHH!

 

This particular "Good Belly" hurt my belly the same way my belly hurt when I was first diagnosed! I assumed (PLEASE DON'T EVER ASSUME TAKE THIS AS YOUR WARNING) that Wheat-Free wouldn't have gluten in it, so of course I didn't read the ingredients (ANOTHER WARNING READ THE INGREDIENTS EVEN IF IT SAYS WHEAT-FREE). I am still in pain from drinking the last one (of the 8 I drank in 8 consecutive days) 4 days ago. I honestly thought the pain was from eating potatoes or french fries, but that pain goes away at night!

 

If you have Celiac Disease I would strongly recommend that you stay FAR FAR away from these Good Belly Probiotics.

 

Happy eating, learning and living! Gluten-Free...

LIVID, HURT, UPSET!

So, Thursday my mother in law calls my husband to see if I can make a rice crispy treat cake for Saturday (My brother in laws graduation party which I knew nothing about till that night after I got home from my ball game at 9pm). Anyways I made a rice crispy treat cake for them! See... I so get taken advantage of!

At the party they had burgers, chicken, hot dogs, fruit, chips, dips, and potato salad. My mother in law asked if we wanted to come over on Sunday for left overs after they get home from church, so we said sure (assuming it was everything from Saturday that was previously listed). I went to the grocery store this morning for milk and bought 12 ears of corn because they were $0.25 a piece. I got a dozen. I thought it would be cool to have with the summer food and called to tell them I was bringing it over. I got no response or feedback other than we will see you then.

So, we got to my in laws house, I have corn already husked in hand ready to cook, and I am told we are having enchilada's. I said that sounds great and my mother in law stated that I wouldn't be able to eat the enchiladas because she made them with flour tortillas... FLOUR TORTILLAS? She stated that's what she had in the refrigerator. Why couldn't you get corn from the store so everyone could eat them. She set aside some chicken so I could have a salad. I AM NOT A F!#$%^& RABBIT! What is up with you people thinking we want to eat a salad. That is not thinking of us! WOW a salad. You are so original. F#$% YOU! I Hope anyone who does this to a person who has some food allergy or issue get 10 fold. As a matter of fact it is now going to be my personal responsibility/mission to make their life hell for making me feel this way.

Do you people not understand how emotional this is... its not funny to joke about or say how everything sucks! I ALREADY KNOW THIS!

I do alot of things for my husbands family (parties on my dime, give them items I could sell but see they really need them...) and this is what I get... text messages telling me I have some nerve and that my blowup was very rude and how badly hurt I hurt his mom from his sister... think about all the time's y'all hurt me! Your stupid I cant eat this joke and I will sit next to Lindsy because she cant eat that joke. In the 15 years I have known this family I have never said one thing. I have never gotten upset or mad at anyone for their comments. I don't gossip with them and talk bad about the other family members I sit there and listen. I always keep my mouth shut and chuckle now and then. I bend over backwards for these people and this is the way I get treated! Maybe its some religious thing... I haven't been to church for a really long time because of the way the JUDGE people and GOSSIP. Wow to coincidental.

Maybe I should post the text messages that were sent back and forth... Pretty sad his sister had to text me instead of call.

Okay, so I Regret it!

Eating PF Changs Mongolian Beef! Oh man, today I feel so sick. The pain I started out having, the one that led us to the diagnosis of having Celiac Disease, is back. I am so bloated and in pain today its not funny! Did I learn from that? Probably not! This pain would of so been worth it if I ate a Ding Dong! Blah...

You Bastards!

So I am starving! I could of swore that I had some Gorilla Munch in my office to eat for breakfast this morning but I forgot that I ate the last of it yesterday. So, I went to the cafe we have here at work and all they have are sandwiches and SHIT! I AM NOT GOING TO EAT CHIPS FOR BREAKFAST. I am extremely frustrated right now as they don't stock gluten free items for breakfast in the vending machine. BTW the grill was closed for breakfast. Why the hell do I cry about this. Its just so F!@#$% up! If I want something to eat I have to either eat chips, a candy bar or nuts. Oh or leave work and find something at some fast food place. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This is so inconvienient! What did I do to deserve this?
