Hey all of you crazy people of... ahh...
Yeah, so I was wondering. Lately I've been suspecting I'm intolerant to something. For a while, I thought it was lactose, but that's been disproven more or less. At first, I thought it was something in the buns they make at a chain of small convenient stores I regulate, as I've often spent much of my monthly income on them instead of good, square meals (I can't study at home, so school's the best alternative.)
However, as pasta and bulgur are both two very big cornerstones in my diet, I've found that I still have some problems, though none as severe as before. Any of you who've experienced intestinal pressure at the magnitude of your typical food intolerance know exactly what I mean. Worst time I've ever had was when I ate a whole loaf of white bread in one go... Ouch.
Anyway, so I decided to finally drop all pretenses of baking-soda intolerance and go with the big one. Not really knowing what to do, I settled for eating rice for all my meals instead of wheat-based products. Potatoes work as well, or so I've been told, but I don't have the patience for them.
So as of yet, three days into this, I've experienced a severe drop in stomach aches and "such", which is a welcome change. Would this constituate a gluten intolerance, or have I misunderstood it? I generally fill myself to the brim with tomato-related products, but doesn't that usually turn into skin irritations?
Anyway, just throwing out a general question, as well as a request for Gluten-free meals that doesn't necessarily involve rice. I'm going to get VERY tired of that soon.
