Friday we went out to our River House and stayed until this morning, so I am just now getting to do the spit test. We have no internet signal out there so I cannot post what is going on, and that is why I waited until today to test. I wanted to let those of you interested, the chance to read along and see what exactly it is I am doing for the spit test. I posted a picture of the kit the day it came in the mail. So today when I woke up I had from 6-8am to fill this one vial with spit before I could eat or drink anything. It took me about 30 minutes to actually collect enough spit in the vial. My mouth was pretty dry, most likely because I was fasting since 8:30pm the night before. I finished filling the first vial by 7:45, so I did at least make my time frame. The next time I have to donate a sample is between 11am-1pm. The rules say that I cannot eat or drink anything except water up to 1 hour before giving my sample. The noon sample is also supposed to be one that I eat 50g of carbs 90 minutes before I spit. That should be interesting since I don't eat starchy bread or pasta type foods. I'm thinking some gluten free oatmeal and an orange might do the trick!
So until then...
I will post more on this later in the day. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Don't forget to wear your green!
