Gluten-Full Trial Week

It has been 3 months since I started the gluten-free diet. I thought, I am feeling great, let's try some gluten for a few days and see if the gluten really makes a difference in my system or if it is just imagined.

Saturday: Hamburger & Seasoned Fries
Yes, I ate the bun. Even though fries are potatoes, the seasoning usually has flour added. I did have stomach pain after a few minutes after eating it, but I don't know if it was because I ate too much or because of the gluten.LOL, I only lasted for about 15-20 minutes and it was not excruciating pain.

Sunday: Sugar cookies
I make the best sugar cookies, I have ever had. My family agrees. It took several cookie recipes to find this one, but they are truly worth eating. So...of course. Sunday, I tried my homemade sugar cookies and ice cream.  Soooo yummy. My tummy didn't hurt while eating or after, but it felt heavy.
I ate two cookies a day Monday and Tuesday.

Wednesday: Pizza
We ordered a new Cheeseburger Pizza. I ate the crust on two pieces. Tummy didn't hurt, but felt heavy. The next day I ate a couple left over pieces, but chose not to eat the pizza dough.

Friday:
Green Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese with crusted Parmesan Bread. GF people must check soup labels. They know that many soups use wheat as a thickening agent. My guess is that there was wheat in the soup. That was it. That was the day, I said, no more gluten every day. All afternoon I was burping the bread and the soup.

The thing I have found with gluten filled foods is that I am hungry soon after I eat them. With gluten-free, I can eat a little a be satisfied for a long time.

Yesterday I started back on Gluten Free. I ate a gluten free breakfast bar and a couple hours later a hot dog with no bun. I was truly satisfied and did not feel hungry until about 8p that night. It feels more normal to me. I ate my home cooked gluten free soup and a salad. This morning I ate some oatmeal.

My body feels a little beat up from eating gluten this week, but in a week, I am hoping the heavy feeling will be gone. I did have a headache all week. Not sure of it is realated, but could be. So we will see this week.

I am glad, yams and potatoes are on the save list because Thanksgiving is coming.

Have a Happy Healthy Week.

Digestion being Gluten-FreeFollow my blog with Bloglovin

Since the first day I started gluten-free. I have notice my food is digesting immediately. My system is also making much more noise. LOL. I am a little afraid to eat in public. I thought maybe it was just because I was eating so many grapes. I have found it is after every meal for about a half hour. The neat thing about this immediate digestion is that my stomach area is not bloated all day like it used to be. I do notice tummy bloat if I eat just a little bit of gluten on accident. For example, you would think beef jerky would be gluten free. apparently not. I ate a little. It tasted delicious. I didn't realize it had any gluten. The next morning I woke up with a funny taste in my mouth and a bloated tummy all day long. I didn't put two and two together until I read the back of the beef jerky packaging. Warning: Contains wheat and soy. My PA (Physician's Assistant) says my headaches will often get worse with major nausea. I am hoping the gluten free...

Sugar Cravings, Detox and More

So my hubby was selected by his company to be a lead in a certain group which meant he would be traveling for 4 days. Perfect, I thought. I will only eat vegies or fruit, and drink coffee, tea or water. My fav foods are vegies and fruit. I know I need protein so I eat it, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't eat it everyday. I love, vegies, fruit and desert. In fact one of my fav meals is a huge vegie plate and a pint of Hagen Daaz Gelato. So...I decided to do a detox while my hubby was out of town. $72.00 for what I felt was 4 days worth of fruits and vegetables. I did the detox. Only water, coffee or tea. Only vegetables or fruits. No sauces, no sugars, no condiments except herbs and spices. Every day about 3p, I started getting a headache. I would eat a piece of fruit. That wouldn't help. I decided after those 3 days that I am addicted to sugar. So I am now working my way to be sugar free with the exception of fruits. The holidays are proving challenging because of f...
