Update. Sorry it's been awhile

So, life as I know it is not as easy as it was before. Oh wait, thats not quite an update is it? What I mean is that I don't feel so well. I'm thinking that I was so careful at the beginning and now, I'm not and must be getting alittle gluten everyday. I haven't been too sick since diagnosed which is probably why I havent blogged.
I need to find out if the meds that I take are gluten free. 1 out of 3 are. The other two, I need to call the drug company and find out. Thats extra work and I'm so lazy.

Oh Gold bond (lotion) is gluten free and only the best lotion ever! I was using lubriderm but those people test on animals. So, they suck.

I went from 141 to 128 lbs. I havent been under 130 since I was 24. I am 32.

At first, I was going to the bathroom regulary everyday. (TMI?) I'm not anymore. Thats another reason why I think gluten is sneaking in to my mouth. haha

Someone in my house came very close to contaminating me the other day and thankfully, I am very anal about this stuff. Otherwise, I never would've noticed. It's hard to live with others that are not gluten free. There is a loaf of bread in my house and it scares the crap out of me. I know that sounds crazy but I dont want to be sick. I can't afford to be out of work and too busy to be bed ridden.

One strange thing that I noticed. I used to have a very dry scalp. My hairdresser never could figure out why. So, I bought a product that was supposed to work. It didn't. Not even a week after cutting out gluten, my scalp is fine. No problems. Strange huh?

I never should have read all the candy and bad foods that are safe... dangerous (in a different way) I liked how I was eating at first. Fruit salad, chick or tuna, yogurt, chic stir fry.. Now, I have added noodles (rice noodles), chocolate, cool whip, potatoes (too many potatoes!!) rice, cereal. Seriously. There are tons of things celiacs can eat. I tell people, I can eat the same thing as everyone else. Just not the same brand.

The hardest thing to get used to is saying no. People offer me food all the time and even if its gluten free, their hands may not be. You really need to keep with the attitude that you cant trust anyone. haha that sounds terrible. Its true though. People dont really know. I had to do a ton of research to find out what I know. and I'm not about to try to educate everyone else. Maybe just one at a time.

Thats it for now. I need to take my meds (gluten free or not) and go to bed.

I promise to write again soon. Although, I dont realy think anyone reads this site. haha oh well.
