Sigh. Well, after 15 years my gluten-intolerance symptoms are starting to return. I know I should consider myself lucky, as lots of people suffer with gluten intolerance at a much worse level than me, but it’s hard to be thankful when you feel miserable.
A large reason I started this site was to document my own journey with gluten-intolerance with the hopes of helping others who are in the same boat. This blog started off on a really positive note, and now I’m feeling kinda low today- and it’s totally my fault.
Last night, I waited way too long to eat, and byt the time I did, all I was craving was high carb 9read: high gluten) foods. I went to the store and chowed down a croissant. Mind you it was absolutely delicious, but now I have no energy, my skin is starting to itch and I just don’t feel very well overall today. I know that I am at this piviotal point where I can either choose to live gluten-free, or I can wait for symptoms to worsen (and maybe even develop new ones!) which woul dforce me to change the way I eat. I know what I need to do, it’s just a matter of doing it. I suppose it doesn’t help either that because my symptoms are severe, my friends and family don’t take my dietary choice seriously; it’s more like I am just being a picky eater.
Sorry to vent. How does everyone else out there deal with friends and famiy who don’t understand? …What are your symptoms of gluten intolerance and have you ever developed new ones?
Keep me posted!
