Intolerant

About 2 years ago we went gluten/wheat free for a while and life was good.  Then we slacked and slowly added it back.  Life wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't as awesome as gluten free! We have mostly maintained a no sandwich bread lifestyle at least. Skip has put on a pound or 2 here and there.  I haven't really lost what I wanted.  We haven't really noticed what eating it again was doing.

That was until Phoebe was born.  Almost overnite I became 100% intolerant of it.  I cannot eat the smallest amount without suffering GI issues. So I would stop for a few days thinking my guts were just readjusting.  Normal postpartum stuff.  Then I would eat something and again serious GI issues.  I had pasta 2 nites ago, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.  I've banned all wheat and gluten from the house. I simply cannot do it anymore and I see what it does to the rest of us.  So no more.

It sucks, the easy baking days are out the window, but I am having fun looking for new foods to cook.
