Day Twenty-Two:

Genetic testing, check! Wow! What a day. Turns out the insurance didn't make me jump through too many hoops... they reviewed my case and decided to pay for the tests! Woohoo! I went today and got it done, so now I just have to.... you guessed it... wait.  But it's okay, because I'll have a definitive answer. Imagine if it's negative? What will happen to my blog? Haha.  So if it's positive, it's pretty much a given that I have Celiac.  If it's negative, there is some other factor affecting my positive blood test.... why do I have this odd feeling that it may come back negative? That would definitely be reason to celebrate, but as Ben said, then what? I still have so many questions.  One day at a time.  I guess we'll just see what the test says and go from there.

I ate McDonald's french fries today. Man, they were good.  I ate nothing else for lunch, because I obviously can't have anything else there (even salad... the chicken and dressings have gluten!). But the fries were good. Yum.  Then I find out that, hey, the oil they fry them in has a wheat derivative in it. Nice! So apparently I need to do a LOT more research before I just eat out on a whim again.  Frustration! Do they not realize how much I LOVE their food?

On a happier note... check out this article.... http://www.glutenfreeliving.com/Upload/plate-vol9-1.  I called the movie theater today and verified that its popcorn is, in fact, GLUTEN FREE! YIPPPEEEE!!! I am going to the movies with my sis tomorrow night and am planning on eating as much as I can possibly consume. This makes me giddy at the thought.  Seriously.  I know, it's pathetic.  As for where and what for dinner... that's a whole different problem that I can't even deal with right now!
