I did an experiment today. I've been laying off white foods for a long time and I've been going easy on the bread intake all week. Yesterday I stopped at this fru-fru bakery that some of the other faculty members rave over and bought a loaf of sourdough bread. I had a slice for breakfast and another for lunch with peanut butter on it, and another a little while ago for a snack, with some Earth Balance spread on it. It was tres yummy, but I feel like I've swallowed a watermelon, my belly is so big. Seriously. Call me Stay-Puft.

Is that what celiac does to you?

Bloated, gassy, crampy...just a general gross feeling...yup, that's what gluten does to me. I had a celiac blood panel done a year ago...came back negative, but I never did follow-up with an endoscopy like I should have. While I don't think I am celiac, I do think I am gluten-sensitive. If I have a gluten-heavy meal, I feel like complete crap afterwards...tired, lethargic, and all bloated out with tons of gas...lovely! I swear it gets so bad, that sometimes I sleep on the couch to give my poor DH a break. I need to seriously just eliminate gluten completely...tough to do when you're a self-proclaimed "carb addict", like myself.
