Today was the worst day ever. (well the new Celiac diseased me)
Picture me on the internet (again) reading some more, getting even more discouraged, feeling sad.. and my mother comes in. I started to tell her about cross contamination and how we may need to separate the cooking utensils.. etc.. and she looks at me and says "umm I think you're exaggerating this a bit too much, don't you think?" That's kinda funny that she said that cause I just read a forum about friends and family being hurtful due to lack of knowledge. I asked her to please read more about it and that I had just found out so much. I still need to figure things out.
I can't begin to tell you readers (if you're out there) how confused I am. I'm lost. I feel good as far as the pain goes, no belly aches, going to the bathroom daily, and nooo gassy bloating feeling. But my head hurts, my eyes are tired and my heart just wants to rest. You know that feeling when you just want to crawl in a ball and lay on the bed and NOT TALK to anyone? well, today, that's me.
My mother and I start to fight. She is trying, really she is. But I didn't see that. She said a few things that are hurtful. It gets worse.. stick with me.
Friend comes over. I told her that my dry scalp is possibly due to gluten in my shampoo. (first I need to tell you that I am in no way over loading these people with GF info.)(I promise) She rolled her eyes and kinda smirked. She said something along the lines of not believing shampoo would have gluten in it. It got worse in the car but I'm not about to insult her because she is uneducated.
Last part, I promise.. My ex came over. Small chit chat and he asked how I was. I told him I got into an argument with my mother and friend was snotty tonight. I began to tell him about the strict kitchen guidelines that my mother and I fought over and before I could get half way through.. he said some smart-ass remark like "Do your dogs have gluten too?" I said, yes actually and I have to change their diet cause if they lick me.. he then said that it's good I feel better but my 'condition' is making me bitchy. My condition? haha oh is that all it is, geesh and I was all worried. phew
haha WOAH... That's it. I stopped talking. I went upstairs and cried. I am so upset and this is not easy. I feel alone. No matter if my friends and family say they will help and they will go gluten free, there is no way.. no way... they can possible go through what I am going through. Are they doing the research? Are they worried about what to eat everyday? They never were before how can they start now.
I think I'm gonna vomit.
OK. I will keep posting to record my new gluten free journey. Today sucks.
