@eileenb1022 Hi Eileen . It's wonderful to hear your excitement over your shopping trip! Some of my gluten free friends tell me that gluten is one of the top causes of inflammation in our bodies. That's a real eye opener so it's very worthwhile to stick to the program! Your hubby too!
As a side note, I asked my Gastroenterologist if I could have the gluten test, just to verify that I NEED to go gluten free. She didn't really want me to, but relented and told me I'd have to eat at least two slices of glutinous bread per day in order to rid myself of the effects of my gluten free regime, plus whatever other gluten-type foods come up in my everyday eating. I had to do that for at least 4 weeks and then go for the blood test. I did eat what I was told to, but I have to tell you I was in real trouble with my gut within the first week.
I learned my lesson. No more gluten for me, ever.
