Wheat Allergy
I'm sad. I have noticed that I might and probably am allergic to wheat. I have a reaction to even a small amount. On my drive to see my mom, I noticed that I was so sleepy. Then I noticed that my nose was stuffy and that my lungs were not taking in as much breath as they should. I have suspected this for a week, but wheat is in everything and I don't know what to do. When I get back, I will go see my doctor and keep antihistamines with me at all times. My joints don't hurt since I have begun to rid myself of wheat. Twenty four years ago, I had to learn what foods had refined sugar by reading labels. The process of reading everything was so long and difficult, but in the end I learned what I could and could not eat. It's second nature to me now. For those who don't know me well, sugar makes me sick. I get head aches and my stomach hurts. It's not pleasant. I find myself whining these days: "Wheat is in everything!!!!!!", "Why me?!", "Why Wheat?!", "It's not fair". On the other hand, I do like to breathe and I do like to move. (Grump, grump, grump) I am working my way to acceptance soon. I just don't want it to be true. I behave as though it is, and maybe I can get to true acceptance sooner.
