Awful Gluten Experience

Last night I stayed in with an estranged friend, PF Chang's. I did at least ask a couple of different servers if they could verify whether wheat was in the "secret sauce" as I suspected. No one knew.

I ate and ate, and then I paid. A couple of hours after dinner I was in massive abdominal pain. By this morning my digestive system had decided to sleep in. And by this evening I was on the floor in a ball, crying in pain.

Of course, this all has me wondering whether eliminating gluten and then having a bit of a glutenous binge left me with more advanced symptoms.

Fortunately, my EnteroLab testing supplies arrived. The whole process is a bit icky, but I am so excited about the concept of more accurate, conclusive results.
