eeek

Wow- well I believe I found out that my doctor's hunch that I was lactose intolerant in addition to gluten intolerant...in addition to too many others....was/is very very spot on! I accidentally grabbed the Amy's Gluten Free Tamale Verde with CHEESE- I thought I had grabbed the GF Vegan one. I realized this too late into the meal. I thought it tasted different....neverminding the giant "cheese" written across the front of the box. I'd bought the other kind so often, I didn't bother to look at it and realize my mistake.

All to quickly, I transported myself onto a rocky train ride and word for word I remembered Kate's (Meg Ryan) rant from "French Kiss" and I lived it. "It's here, the mucus is here, coating the intestinal walls, spasm spasm, here it comes...lactose intolerance!!!!" Then I walfed into some big puny muck. I refluxed all over...and ofcourse you know everything else.

What was such a bummer was how I prided myself on grabbing hold of the GF, DF, no refined GF Carbs and light intake if any GF ones, and right before Thanksgiving, too! And here I was, blowing it with one mistake I didn't even deliberately make. Yikes! It's already difficult maintaining this plus being the solo vegetarian in the family, especially now that I have holidays to go through. Now moving towards being a vegan, too.... one who may not be able to eat the GF, Vegan cheeses due to the yeast....oh the agony! It's not that I wanted to bathe in cheese or anything....ok, maybe that would be a fantasy, but seriously to cut off every type completely for ever and ever might be too much to ask this girl. I'm determined to find an alternative, to get retested for allergies to pinpoint the yeast, so I know if I can atleast have Daiya cheese or something similar or not. Afterall, I do not want to make myself any more ill than I've been.

Goodness, what's a girl to do?
