Gluten update

Called my doctor, described my symptoms and what I found online, and got a second "Yes, give up wheat" opinion. We both agreed that it was silly for me to pay the co-pay just for allergy tests (right now, anyway — she did want me to come in if my health does improve from this).

On the one hand, I really hope this is it. After nearly a decade of dealing with randomcrap health problems, it would be nice to get a handle on them and actually feel good for a change.

On the other hand ... I really like bread. And also pizza and pasta.

Day one on the diet went well, though. And it could be worse. I could be allergic to cats. :-(
