Although not the most glamorous thing to do, today is the last day of my GI testing. As I am writing this post I am spitting in my last vial and then off to UPS to send it off for analysis. Last time it took over a week to get my results, so I am not expecting this time to be any faster. Have I mentioned I DO NOT like to wait!
On Sunday we had some friends over for a cookout and one of my good friends Birthday celebrations. There was of course an ice cream cake and then another friend brought chess squares. I was really good and avoided the cake, however chess squares...oh how I love the! It has been SOOOO long since I have had a chess square! So I thought to myself, I can surely have one tiny bite and it will be fine. WRONG!!! I did have two tiny bites, but the next day I was BLOATED and crampy, and felt tired and just gross. All in all, it was so good at the time I was chewing the dessert, but so NOT worth it the WHOLE next day! Lesson learned!
I sure hope this GI panel will give me some answers! Feeling like this for a whole day over 2 little bites of wheat/gluten is just crazy! If the answers are not found in this test, I will have to do another test for food sensitivities. That one will require blood work, which I am NOT a fan of! Anyone else feel like this after you eat wheat/gluten? If so, leave me a comment of how you deal with the bloat the next day! Peppermint tea used to help, but not anymore!
