Ouch x 4!

My Gastroenterologist sent me today to have some blood drawn. Two hours and four pokes later, my glucose level, thyroid function, celiac disease (allergic to gluten - which I really doubt I am, but cross your fingers that I'm not if you have a minute!) and lactose intolerance (I know I am and after the test this morning, I've proven it again! UGH) were tested. We'll know the results in about a week. Stay tuned...

At this point, I'm am still angry and HUNGRY for MORE food!!! I really don't think I'm getting the nourishment I need AND I got a cold from my little guy to top it off so I've been feeling really rotten this past week. I have three weeks left to go on keeping everything out of my diet and I'm still craving certain things. My Gastro told me no more diet coke!!! Will I survive?!

On a positive note, I made Quinoa for the first time last night and I was too bitter and wallowing in self pity to actually eat it. Today I mixed it with Costco's Pesto sauce (which is pure enough for me to eat! Yay!!!), some brocolli and ham and it was pretty satisfying.

We're going up to Flagstaff for a night soon and I have NO idea what I'm going to eat, so this should be interesting! I'll keep you posted!
