Thank you Rita & Margaret.
I survived going gluten free; now I just have to go farther. I will survive this too. I am a survivor.
I know it seems hard to imagine embracing this diet but when food makes you sick enough it's not hard to let go of it. I walk through the grocery store & the bakery section and see these pastries, cakes, cookies and breads -- all gluten filled & it makes me want to curl my lip. They don't tempt me one bit. I may as well be looking at rat poison. I don't even remember what real bread (gluten bread) tastes like anymore. I know the stench of it turns my stomach.
It's not the foods I miss, it is the convenience.
Except BAY-CON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'll be okay with that too.
When I'm a sassy 103 lbs. again, I will eat bacon again.
