Diet Sniffles and Successes

I am happy to report that after three days of staying away from foods I am sensitive to, I am no longer sniffly/sneezy/congested!

I am sensitive to gluten, and can only tolerate it in very small amounts. This means nothing made with wheat, whole or white. And it also includes pasta.

However, I still have some leeway. I can have pasta made from a grain called spelt -- and it's pretty darn good, too. I get it in the regular grocery store. I can also have bread made with other kinds of grain -- Ezekiel 4:19 (or is it 4:9?) bread is nutty and good.

I am also finding my cravings are starting to go away. I am not starving myself by any means, and I do feel a weight difference. Just staying away from gluten products and eating more veggies/salads.

Oh, and my evening dessert has returned -- a banana/strawberry protein fruit smoothie. Blend it up thick and it tastes like a scrumptious milkshake!
