Ok, BIG note to myself:

DO NOT EAT GLUTEN EVER AGAIN!

geez, I'm so uncomfortable tonight. My stomach is so trembly, crampy, tender feeling. I had a softer stool, which was nice, but was accompanied by more blood than usual. Typical from my wheat eating days. It feels like I have an anal fissure again because of this. My muscles in my back are killing me to the point of feeling sick. My sinus' have let loose and are draining like crazy, my eyes burn, my lips feel like they're on fire, I'm anxious, edgy/nervousy feeling. I can't keep a thought going, I feel like crap. All this for shrimp pasta and buttered bread? SO not worth it. How could I have done this to myself? I know better than this. I know I will feel better in a few days but right now I feel awful. I'm having those stabbing pains in my right side too. Ok, I've learned my lesson. Can't I move on now? My stomach is so bad I can't take all my methotrexate tonight, my intestines and everything need to rest as much as possible tonight. I haven't had gluten today, this was all from yesterday! I can not believe how badly I feel, and to think this was a regular occurance for years before I went low carb. I went low carb to treat my hypoglycemia and thought I was feeling better because of my blood sugar. Now I know it was because I cut out all gluten and the gluten intolerance was not active!

I want this discomfort to be over but I don't ever want to forget it. If I am ever tempted again, I want this night to come to mind so that I remember NOT to eat gluten. I started to say "cheat" but I hate that word. Cheating almost makes it seem desirable, like I'm missing out on something I deserve. It's taking care of the one body I have, if this one goes, there ain't nothing coming to take it's place!
