So about a month ago, Philip's dad ordered all the kids gluten tests. I won't go into details about what the test entailed, but last week Philip and I got our results. If you have a score under 10, you are considered normal. Anything over means you have a sensitivity to Gluten. The higher the number, the more sensitive you are. Philip scored 41 and I scored a whopping 114. :( Apparently that means that I may already have some intestinal damage that could turn into Celiac's disease. Big :(. So I have completely cut myself off of gluten. I'm hoping that this means I might see some weight loss too. :)
Last Tuesday (the day after I found out I was Gluten intolerant), John and Ellen took Philip and me out to eat to celebrate me finishing my Calculus class. I got an A!!! They took us to The Sandpiper which is a steak and seafood restaurant. It was soooo good! I had baked Halibut. And inside it had crab and other yummy stuff. I also had their house salad which had baby shrimp and cashews. I think all house salads should be like that.

Wow - 1st of all, congratulations on the A in calculus! I know you worked hard for that!!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see what changes occur when you avoid gluten. Keep me posted, I'll be interested to hear - you need to start a new blog (or keep this one - cuz you're coming back) :)
Safe travels home!
