Personal update
Probably going to be a little TMI.
I got the results of my Celiac screen, and it was negative, thank god. While I don't have the disease, my doctor said I do have a sensitivity to wheat. So I don't have the disease (which would be detrimental to my health), but I do have the sensitivity (which isn't bad for me, it just makes me uncomfortable to ingest it).
Okay, so that is helpful to know. Apparently I would be good to avoid eating white bread. SAD, as I love sandwiches.
Also, I have really bad IBS. Which is awful, as I haven't figured out what all my trigger foods are yet. I know for sure that greasy food kills me, again, SAD.
AAAAND, just because I happen to attract bad mojo like that, there's a good chance I'm lactose intolerant. I asked for the breath test to check for sure, but according to my doctor, it isn't very reliable. She said I would be better off to get some expensive, dairy-rich ice cream or gelato, have a bowl, and if my stomach is in complete misery, BLAMMO, I'm lactose intolerant.
So that's what's happening with my digestive system. I'm sure you're all thrilled to know. Me, I'm still miserable. I've been avoiding dairy and using soy milk in my breakfast shakes, which has actually made quite a bit of a difference in my stomach misery.
I'm very grateful I don't have Celiac. That would be one huge pain in the ass to deal with. It's a lot easier avoiding dairy, so that's going to be my plan of action from here on out.
As for the greasy food, that is going to be a lot harder. I tend to eat my feelings.
