So I relinquished control and went to see my Doctor a few weeks ago. She put me on an antibiotic to kill the bacteria that had been building up in my stomach. We had to do this last year when things got pretty bad. I'm not sure if this pertains to Gluten-free people but for me it helps. I could tell things were going downhill when the stomach pains, nausea and the inability to keep anything in my stomach progressively got worse. After a week on the medication, I began to add in pro-biotics and increase my vegetable and fruit intake.
It can be frustrating living on a restricted diet. But the alternative is not much better. I don't like the idea of taking a powerful antibiotic that strips my stomach of all bacteria, good and bad, but I am thankful for modern medicine and the help it gives me when I need it most.
On the upside, I bought a great new product today.
Bold Organics turn on the flavor Pizza. It is Gluten-free, Milk free and Egg free.
I scanned the ingredients and even though there were a few things that raised questions in my mind, I decided to take the plunge and buy it.
I made it for lunch today and it was yummy and a good alternative to the real thing. I'll take an extra probiotic tonight, just in case!
