DNA testing revealed both a Celiac and a non-Celiac gene for gluten sensitivity, so I need to become completely gluten free. Easy? Not so much. Have you ever read all the labels when you pull something out of the refrigerator? I hadn't either, but now I am starting to, and much of what I had been using is going into the trash can instead of into my meals.
I had not thought that turkey would contain gluten, but much of it does. Canned soups, rice with sauces, and even the blue cheese that I had previously consumed are all off limits!
This morning I have had 2 eggs, bacon, and coffee with cream. Right now my stomach is screaming at me so loudly that I want to cry, and cannot think of anything I ate with gluten in it. (maybe the bacon?) This is a step by step process, and I can only take it one day (or meal) at a time. Being gluten free can be done, and I am determined to get there instantly, but I know that I will make unintended mistakes along the way.
Stay tuned for the continuing saga.......
