This past weekend was an eyeopener. I had an appointment Friday to get a Echocardiogram or heart ultrasound at the U. We also had to get to les schwab to get our tires changed. We got ready, walked out the door and noticed a flat tire.....damn. We changed the tire and were off to les schwab. We were pretty hungry and so we went to the Mexican restaurant, Cody got a breakfast burrito. I was curious if this gluten free lifestyle was actually working, so I thought maybe I would eat some gluten to see. So I got a breakfast burrito as well. We got our tires done and headed into the city. We were too early for the appointment so we decided to do some shopping. Got some gifts and names off of our shopping list, then we headed to the U. The exam went well, the ultrasound examiner said he didn't see anything abnormal, just a heart murmur, which I knew I have. But he said I will get the final word after the "pinheads" reviewed it.
On our way home we stopped and ate some Chinese food, not gluten free. It was sooooo good, had tons of leftovers and went home. I was just feeling bloated that night. The next morning, Saturday, I got up and moving around, had some leftover Chinese, was feeling OK for a little while, then started feeling really nauseous. It all came up violently. I felt weak, shaky and a little dizzy.
We forgot my meds up at the U and had to go back and get them. I wasn't really feeling like going, but had to. We got hungry and I was still curious to see if other gluten would effect me. Although I wasn't feeling well, I thought maybe the Chinese food was just a coincidence, its not the first time Chinese leftovers haven't set well. Cody wanted to try something new so we were driving down State st. and saw Coatchman's, it has been there for ever. We went in and it seriously felt like we walked into a time machine. Even the people looked like they were set in the 70s. It was kinda weird. The food, I thought was great, old timey, and you got a ton of food for cheap. Cody went to pay and they do not accept debit or credit cards....but they accept checks...seriously who writes checks anymore.
We went to Lehi, did our shopping and went home. I still didn't feel good. Sunday, woke up and felt weak, shakey, dizzy and my hair was falling out again. I don't know if this was all just coincidence, but I really think it was from the gluten. I decided to go on with the gluten free lifestyle. I am hoping something will change. I am having headaches around the clock still, not sure if that's from this weekend or something else. I just wish they would go away. Hope the doctor will have some answers.
