Day 2

Well, I had a little bit of a break-down last night. I think some of the reality of having Celiac disease really hit me, that, and some of the frustration over the current monotony of my diet in the last week decided to rear its ugly head. The fact that my diet in the last week has consisted mostly of yogurt, oatmeal, and carrots with peanut butter has felt rather lackluster and boring, but what other choice do I have when that is all that is in our pantry that I know I can eat. Dinner has been a litlte bit better, Peas, Corn, Ham, and we went out and bought some gluten-free Spaghetti made with white rice. I'm still holding out judgement on the spaghetti because I think I over cooked it a bit when I make it the first time. We're having it again for supper tonight, hopefully I won't over cook it this time. One new discovery I made here in Columbia, was that HyVee has a very good natural foods section that has a wide variety of gluten-free products (about 2/3 of an asile with specific gluten-free products with few more often mixed in with the regular organic/natural foods). They have very good prices based on what I've been comparing them to. We did pick up some fruit and some Flat Earth Chips which have a serving of fruits and/or vegetables in them and are gluten-free (some contain milk and soy products). Have a good day.
