So I Am Quite Proud Of Myself...

Anyway, lately I have been unable to sleep past 6 am... (When I used to sleep in till like 10 am...) So today, I actually got up and made my husband a nice breakfast. It consisted of cheesy scrambled eggs, homemade tortillas from dinner a couple nights ago, huckleberry jam, salsa, Lemonade... (Don't ask why he wanted lemonade for breakfast.) Oh and Peppermint tea, as he has a cold. (No I didn't have any of this... But still). In the past year and almost nine months we've been married, I have never once made him breakfast... I was such a good wife this morning

Then I promptly proceeded to start making dinner (I love crockpots... they make it so much easier to cook dinner while at work.) which will be chicken curry. Yay!

I love that I actually have energy to do stuff now that I am gluten free. And I love that I dont spend forever in bed. I am so much better at living life now....

Hooray, fellow wifey! I've been so happy lately because I now have the energy to make my hubby his lunch to take to work every day. I used to feel so bad that I was so caught up in my own health that I wasn't able to take care of him properly (I enjoy this type of thing). :rolleyes:

You go girl! I was actually really excited when I could do the dishes and laundry again. And I always hated doing dishes. I guess getting sick gives us a whole new perspective. :)

LFA (for lack of wanting to type it all out)~ Yeah. I am of the sort who enjoys doing the stereotypical housewife life. Making my hubby breakfast, doing dishes, all that jazz, is almost relaxing. Well not almost, it is. Like I got mad at my husband for some little thing this morning... Went and did dishes, and was fine. But I am so impressed with my newfound energy to do all this... Before, I would dread cooking, dread dishes, dread laundry... All that... but now its kind of fun.

GFM~Getting sick DOES give us a whole new perspective. (Injuries too, like when I broke my shoulder blade, I missed weeding the yard. And I hated doin that.) Like I used to hate dusting, cleaning etc. But now it feels good to do that... Besides a clean house always makes me feel better

I'm so proud of you too. Glad to see you are able to do things which make you happy again.

Congrats! It's a good feeling fussing over somebody you care about, and having the energy is awesome.

Yay for more energy!! (I'm a little jealous... but that's okay:))

Have a good evening, girl!

Hurray! Glad to hear you are feeling so much better. It's like getting a second chance at life isn't it? :)

I so needed to read this. I have been getting more than a little down in the dumps about still being tired, short of breath, etc. It's nice to know it will continue to get better and to have a place to come where that knowledge is reinforced.

I am very happy that you are all feeling better and enjoying the simple things in life. I am looking forward to joining you. :)

some day I was the dust balls roll across the floors and other days I go after them. I think I'm getting better. At least I want to chase them now instead of just watch them!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.

      I believe the GFCO does use a common logo for certified gluten free products (those containing not more that 10ppm of gluten) but nothing universal yet from the FDA for standard gluten free products (those containing not more that 20ppm).
