I GOT GLUTENED — erinlamb

It was “Christmas Morning” (we had it a couple days late) at my in laws and we were opening presents.

I snuck back to the kitchen to get another waffle because they were so yummy.

As I was eating it my MIL asks … “are you sure that is one of the gluten free waffles???”

I froze and spat it out and ran over to check … but the damage had already been done. I had taken a glutenous waffle by mistake!

I kept thinking to myself “How the heck did I not notice?” The gluten free waffles weren’t as brown AND there wasn’t as many leftover after I had eaten them, so I should have realized!

The holidays are hard when it comes to allergies! There is so much food around that is more likely to have come in contact with gluten (or whatever allergy/sensitivity you may have.)

I am lucky to have a family is that is so aware of what I can and can’t eat and even are sometimes even one step ahead of me! On top of that – my MIL always makes sure there is something GF for me to eat and is so willing to try new things!

As a result of the waffle incident…

I was exhausted

My head hurt

I had terrible stomach pains

I felt extremely nauseous

and I looked pregnant…..

(if you want a visual – we went to a movie and I went to the bathroom quick before it started. When I returned my husband pointed out that my pants were still undone … I was so bloated I couldn’t do them up!)

I’ll spare you some other details.
