I just got back from a trip to see my family in St. Louis for Christmas. Many of my favorite foods from St. Louis are full of gluten. Toasted ravioli being the one food I decided I could not live without on this trip. So I indulged and ate delicious toasted raviloi and am thinking I will never cheat again. It was not fun afterwards. Not fun. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed them in the moment, but shortly after I felt it.
Now that I know what caused my stomach issues all these years and am feeling extremely well, I really don't desire to mess with it. Not at all. So I'm thinking gluten truly is gone for good from my diet and I'm ok with that. Sure, I miss a lot of foods but I haven't cheated at all since going gluten free and my body thanks me each and every day. I'd like to keep it that way!
So cheers to feeling well and staying gluten free!
