Day Sixteen

Beginning Friday evening, I had been suffering from horrible stomach pain until last night. It felt like gas pain, but by hour 36 I started to worry that it was something worse. Now, internet research when you're not feeling well is never a good idea, but I was scanning articles about gas persistent stomach pain, to see what horrible disease I may actually have contracted.  Most explanations came back to diet.  However, this ranges from greasy and fatty foods to specific intolerances, such as dairy or wheat.

Well, this morning I feel much better, but I know that a large part of my discomfort came from weeks of eating out, weeks of poor eating, and weeks of sitting on my ass.  This combined with a whole-lotta Mexican food on Friday night, made this weekend rough on the belly.

It's time to say goodbye to the holiday indulgences and excuses to not cook dinner at home. I need to be a little more disciplined about what I put in my body. In that vein,

Resolution sixteen: gluten-free for a day.

I don't want to go nuts about the gluten-free/Celiac's disease craze, but I know I feel better when I eliminate certain foods from my diet. So, for at least a day, maybe my poor digestive tract will get some relief.
