I have been gluten free since about the middle of April. Since then, I have been very faithfully GF, something I was very proud of because I felt so much better. But, my grandchildren, Sarah and Michael, came to spend a few days with me. The last day they were here, I made them some french toast, and I ate two pieces of it with them. Just because it smelled so good, and because I just wanted to.
So, I have been wondering which of the many symptoms I had would come back fastest if I “cheated”, if I ate something made from wheat flour. Now I know. My legs and feet hurt so bad I could hardly walk for two days. Not just a little sore, but an ache down in my bones that required several doses of pain releivers (over the counter). I don’t think I will be doing that again any time soon. Oh, yeah, and my face broke out in pimples, too. Yuck.

So… I’m curious! How did you find out that you need to have a gluten-free diet? What symptoms did you have before you started living gluten-free?
I hope you recover quickly from the french toast!

I hear ya…I may not have celiacs but eat a hamburg with a bun because you don’t have a fork and knife and break out around the nose and the next day not feeling well all day…no more! HUGS

what our brain forgets, our body remembers.
Hope you are on the mend soon.
