I never intended on starting a blog. However, a while back, while lamenting the fact that I can no longer eat wheat without annoying symptoms, I thought there should really be a site somewhere called Wheat is in Everything. Because it is.
OK, not everything. But a lot.
I dare you to try to exclude it from your diet for just a week. Or, just take a trip down the prepackaged, over-processed frozen food aisle at your friendly grocery store. Good luck finding something that isn't pasta, bread, or breaded. Check the label on your favorite can of soup or chili. Soy sauce, salad dressings, etc. It's all around us. And I can't eat it.
I am not complaining, mind you. Discovering the culprit of years of unexplained wheeziness, itchiness, and stomach cramps galore has been a life saver. But it ain't easy, I tell ya.
Here's the best part. I've been a hay fever sufferer for life, and I would often think to myself how lucky I was to not have a food allergy. Life lesson: do not tempt fate in this manner, or you will be answered.
I don't plan to make every entry here a wheat rant, but I gotta do a little bit to support the title. Maybe I'll chat about the house, the hubby, the cat...whatever gets me feeling wordy.
