I've gone gluten-free now after my bloodwork came back in the above-normal ranges, but what makes me far more sad than giving up "normal" breads and pizzas and such is the thought of never having tea with milk (soy milk is okay, but it's not the same), homemade yoghurt, or good cheeses again. And my first batch of Gluten-Free cookies, made with margarine...

Wow, that really does suck, because I don't eat that much gluten-containing food, even under normal circumstances! I rarely eat pasta or bread, unless there's pizza involved, or brownies... and my test is Sep. 5, so I wonder if I even have enough time to eat enough gluten... gah. So annoying.

I am in the diagnostic process, and several of my tests came back as "inconclusive" but "above normal," so my doctor has said that he's going to be sending me to a GI for an endoscopy. The problem is that ever since I suspected what might be wrong (and I've been very lucky to have a friend who is a diagnosed celiac to help along the way) I've stopped eating...
