I just wanted to vent. I have been gluten-free for about 3 years. I have tried gluten challenges but never make it past 2 weeks. So I figured I would try enterolab, since supposedly it is more sensitive. I ate gluten for the last 2 weeks of 2014, sent in my sample. Came back positive. So I have been more careful than before- just washing hands more and making my daughter wash more as well. Plus I am still having bladder pain from those 2 weeks, but it has been improving.

So last night I stopped at the store on the way home from the gyno. The lower abdomen pain has been bad and I am getting it checked out just in case. Urologist found nothing, and the gyno is pretty sure that it's not an infection or organ trouble, but did ask about foods so I told her it started during the challenge. She thinks it is from the gluten.

So as frequent readers may know I have a sweet tooth. I also stress eat,and took the stress of going to the gyno as a reason to stop for a candy bar. Got a Milky Way, because I figured it is just like a Snickers but not as bad because no peanuts. So I fell asleep at 830, just in the middle of reading my favorite gossip site. I woke up with carpal tunnel pain, texted my boyfriend to say it hurrrrt, but it was just because I fell asleep on it. Went back to sleep, had a nightmare that my house was attacking my family and me. (It was a very strange scary dream) I woke up with tightness in my chest and a cough...knew I was glutened. I am so mad at myself for assuming Milky Ways are gluten free.

Oh yeah, as for my dream, I think my brain came up with a good metaphor for being glutened. Sorry for the babbling.
