Transitioning to a gluten free (gf) diet has been good so far. There are so many choices and products, I'm glad to be doing this now and not 10 years ago when things were so well labeled.
Today I accidentally glutened myself. The security office at work helped me out, and I wanted to make them some brownies to thank them. Old habits die hard, and I tasted the batter. Two hours later and my legs are led and I'm getting snoozy. A very important lesson learned.

Gluten free and loving life
I've mentioned a few times that I have been sick with mysterious symptoms since May 2010 (a year and a half). I consulted a nutritionist and she put me on a 900 calorie diet (imagine living on the equivalent of 9 100 calorie yogurts a day). And yet I couldn't drop any weight. My partner was worried about my nutrition, so we decided to try a juicing diet we saw in http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/ .
I will admit I didn't follow the reboot to the letter. I juiced two meals a day and ate one. Two days in I started to feel great - and none of the warned side effects. Then I had a sandwich and it all fell apart. The bread! It was the bread! I've been gluten free for about two weeks and haven't felt better in years. I'm slowly losing weight but more importantly I feel good and feel like myself. I have requested an appointment with a gastroenterologist to confirm, but life is good!
