Taking gluten out of my diet has helped immensely. It's been a week now and by about day 4 the hard spot was gone. I'm so happy! I knew it wasn't life-threatening but it hurt and it freaked me out.
If I don't plan my meals ahead of time I can get into trouble and all the Halloween treats around me are very tempting.
I was talking to a friend today who's friend had to temporarily go off gluten and after a few months she could start adding things back into her diet. This also happened to my dear mom who has Chron's disease. I hope that after my stomach calms down I can start eating some of the things I love again. On the other hand, there really is life after gluten. It is possible to still enjoy eating and I am having great practice in self-control and focusing on healthier foods. I think it's for the best. I just have to plan ahead or else I get really grumpy from being hungry!
