Felling better...

[fajrdrako]

Had a terrifically busy day at work - I knew I would - with many emergencies. My stomach didn't stop hurting, and I simply did my best to ignore it, and not feel sorry for myself. After work, I had a brief visit with redmtl, then went home and slept

Glad to hear you're feeling better!

Kind of you to say - and I'm pretty much back to normal, now. Yay to congee for lunch!

Yeah - gluten is a real issue for a lot of people. But, here's the thing. Your bacteria, good and bad, love it, and as the gut and the brain are very closely connected with neural pathways that they've evolved to be able to manipulate, they are going to do their best to make you forget this or brush it off time and time again

I was gobsmacked when I read this, and I've been thinking about it. It makes so much sense. Why do I convince myself, over and over, that wheat "won't hurt me just this once" - and then thinks it's okay to eat it daily? Why do I conveniently forget how it gives me problems? Convenience is a factor, but really, I'm not normally that stupid! Or so I like to think.

Yeah... how did I ever forget?

Really, thanks for passing this on. It will help me to not make this mistake in future.

Or so I hope.
