Ohh what now?

Ok. I know what glutened is. I know what it's like to feel good!! But what the heck is this? Two days in a row I feel like crap. I must have some sort of intolerance too. Ha. Like being a celiac isn't hard enough.

My stomach is cramping and bloating, I feel gassy, okay no lie, I am gassy. Oops don't tell my co-workers.

I am trying so hard to eat right. I wont take anything from anyone and always wash my hands. I even make an effort to keep my hands from my face. I'm one of those. Oh no, I just realized. I wonder if its my lipstick. The other day I went to put my lip gloss on and I saw wheat oil. Wheat oil? In this??? nooo. So needless to say, that $10 went down the drain. I wonder if maybe I am having the same problem today. Shoot.

That brings me to another thought. I haven't looked up my toothpaste or laundry detergent yet. My GI said not to worry about cross-contamination right now. I think he is wrong. I think that my symptoms today are mild glutened-like reactions. Hmmph, did I just invent that word?

I hate this. I hate feeling sick, especially when I know "how not" to feel sick. This is hard. very very hard. Anyone who doesn't think it sounds too bad should be punched in the stomach for a straight 12 hours after taking an entire box of laxatives. Ooh rough.

I'm not trying to make light of celiac disease with my sarcastic remarks and please dont ever take it that way. I will be the first to tell you that life as we know it has changed forever. Is it for the better? Thats still a mystery to me. (but I hope it is)
