Ok so today is day 2 of my journey but I have to put down day 1 first...So I guess I just will dive into this and hope to make it better as I go along...

Yesterday I woke up feeling really sick...Wanting to crawl back into bed and just willing the pain and the nausea to go away...Also the head was just pounding.  But I didn't have that option...I am an artist and have big show this weekend ...Had too much to get done..

I got a message on facebook from a dear friend who suggested Gluten Intolerance...So to the web I went...and boy it really all started clicking together...With the added stress of the last few months things are just blown right up...

So yesterday I chose to eliminate glutens from my life over the next 4 weeks and see if I start to feel better.

Day 1:  Breakfast:    Yogurt
Felt tired, nausea, dry heaves and pounding head ache...The yogurt help to calm it down a little...

     Mid Morning...nausea was getting in my way so had a Coke to calm things down...

    Lunch:  2 eggs scrambled with cheese and roasted garlic.
                Head was still pounding  so took an excedrin too...not feeling quite as nauseated...

   Supper:  Pork chop with seasonings, brown rice and broccoli. 
                 Still a headache and really tired.  Craving sweet really bad so made peanut butter fudge to take the edge off

Day 2:   Stomach has calm down a lot...Still have some pain but no nausea and a mild headache.  Mind is having trouble to focus but it is a better day

              Breakfast:  2 eggs scrambled with cheese and roasted garlic
                            
              Lunch:  Salad with iceburg lettuce, cucumber, cheddar cheese, almonds and grapes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
              Stomach is still feeling a bit unsettled so took a anti acid pill.  Really need it to all be calm for this 2 day weekend.. Still feeling really tired  but the headache is still mild...

              Supper:  Yogurt, Grapes and almonds

             Stomach is calming down some more...Headache even less...ready for a good night sleep...big day the next 2 days...Looking forward to this show...

My daughter has a friend with this problem and suggested getting the book Wheat Belly...Got it down loaded on my Kindle...Going to see what I can learn...Good night folk...Have a pleasant evening...
