Day 2 gluten free and allergen fast

[aelfie]

I'm actually not missing eating things, I'm missing the convience of just being able to grab something. I see I am going to have to be more organized and make sure I've got food in the fridge that I can eat. At the spur of the moment I decided to take the kids to the park, but I had no lunch prepped. Before I would have driven thru the local fast food. Not this time! I had to run home and (thankfully) grab the acceptable leftovers in the fridge (Rice pilaf, 3 oz of tuna steak with garlic and braggs, maple glazed carrots)

And actually, the no tomatoes and no chile peppers is really driving me nuts.  I never realized how many things I like to flavor food with contain either/or/both.

I actually found a gluten free mustard at Whole Foods yesterday, that made me happy and I'm not sure why.

I'm thinking about buying a bread machine for my birthday (I can't have yeast right now either) 'cause by that point (or close enough to it) my allergen fast will be over.

Gluten free must be a bear. One member of our congregation is on a gluten free diet and can never eat anything at coffee hour. Potlucks would be hard too.

Its annoying because I have to cook everything. I looked at the sushi at Costco today, and I'm thinkin' I'm safe its fish. But I checked anyway. And right there on the label, wheat flour. Argh!

I've been invited to a tea and I'm thinking of bringing something I can eat. Either that or eat before I go. Grrr.

Always bring something you can eat hon. Consider it an imperative, and get used to questions. If you make like you enjoy (and a lot of it is good) you'll get 'em over it right quick.

Yea, I know. The only place I know I can go without hassle is my grandmother's house! Her sister has had this for 15 years, so she's used to cooking gluten free for her!
