My Brown Santa (ups) Just Brought Me A Yummy Basket

[Blessings]

I called the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center for their sample pack. It is wonderful! Anyone new to the gluten-free diet should check it out. Samples from so many companies. Also a copy of the Living Without magazine and a gluten-free Food guide for the Denver area. They did a wonderful job. Now I feel guilty because I have a date to cheat (Black-Eye Pea) tonight. I have to test the diet to see that it really helps.

My GI dr said I have to have surgery for a cyst and when I get down I want to cheat. He also said it is Latent Celiac that I could add some foods and see how I feel and it would still be a good diet for me. I already had a Take 5 candy bar. So I already cheated. I already know what will happen but I have to test it. CONTROL ISSUES. I looked all over the house for something to taste. But everything is gluten-free.

I have been gluten-free since mid May and feeling good. So tomorrow when I feel like I've been beat up you can all give me the I told you so speech.

Oooh fun! How did you hear about that? That's pretty cool! What's in your goodie-bag?

I GOT ONE OF THOSE TOO!!!

It was probably the highlight since going gluten-free.

I got so much food I didn't know where to put it! Who knew Lemonheads were gluten-free?

Enjoy it!!!
