It's Official

Even though I figured my results would be positive, it's still hard to hear it for sure! But, I won't look at it that way, at least I will try not to! I want to feel better. Also, I'm finding I like gluten-free pastas better than wheat pasta. I had corn pasta tonight and it is really good and light.

I also find that I really like almond milk. I am looking at my diet as an adventure. Maybe I will lose weight...hopefully!

Thanks for listening.

A positive attitude goes a long way! I had the same attitude. Not that I don't get frustrated at times still, but it could be worse. My biggest frustration was not being able to just stop and grab a snack. Now that I carry snacks with me and stashed in my car, I find it a lot easier. I just make cookies tonight that are to die for! YUM!!

I agree! It's only been a little over a month for me on the gluten-free diet but I feel 100% better and even can start cutting down on some of my meds. Attitude is everything I think. I too still get frustrated. I also have diabetes and the other day was in a store and started to feel a low blood sugar coming on and panicked.. I didn't know what to grab to fight the low... once I stopped panicking I started laughing because orange juice has always been gluten free!!! low blood sugar affects your brain first... unfortunately! I survived with some juice and some gluten free cookies <wink>

Sometimes I feel like the Pollyanna of the forum, but I agree that attitude can make the difference between adjusting and not adjusting. Woe is me!! just makes you feel worse. I had a problem for which I was sent to supportive therapy once. Every time I went I cried and felt terrible. So I said, much better not to cry and deal with it in my own way, than to cry and feel sorry for myself

I've only been 2 months into this but I will say that I think Udi's bread is better than regular bread! Reminds me of English toasting bread. My son likes gluten free pasta way better than wheat pasta too. Welcome to the adventure...and I hope you start feeling way better really fast!
