Day Twenty-Nine:
As I type I'm eating Trader Joe's Gluten-Free Rice Pasta and Cheddar. AKA- Mac'n Cheese! YUM.  A bit of a different texture (chewier) than typical Kraft, but the flavor is fantastic. I can't get enough of it. In case you're wondering why I'm eating this at my computer during dinner, I'll tell you that it's because Stop and Shop failed me, yet again. I decided on a rotisserie chicken for dinner tonight, so off we went to the store. There are different flavors, which I knew I couldn't have because of the marinades. However, there is a chicken labeled "All Natural." Ha! Turns out there is nothing natural about it.  Since when does an "All Natural" chicken contain wheat and gluten? I'd better call up Jim Perdue because this might be a serious problem! So while my family enjoyed their "Non-natural" chicken, I decided to treat myself to a box of Mac'n Cheese. And a treat it was.

On another note, I was tired today. Interesting, really, because it made me remember what "normal" used to feel like. I think my normal has changed now, and dare I say that I'm no long dreadfully tired all the time.  I can't say that I'm never tired, but I guess that wouldn't have to do with a treatment for Celiac, because no mom is ever NOT tired.  It's difficult to sort it all out, but at the end of the day I do feel somewhat better. I still question whether I'm lactose intolerant... unfortunately I believe I am still having problems with this. And I still wonder what other allergies/intolerances I may have developed. But for now, I'm feeling better. Hooray.  I waited by the mailbox again today, chewing at my nails to no avail. Maybe tomorrow...
