Where the gluten is hiding....
Jan. 20th, 2011 05:04 pmSo, I'm talking to a friend, and admitting I'm dreading the results on my lab tests, because what if it says my numbers are still through the roof? Where could it be coming from? she asked. You're not cheating.
No, I'm not cheating. I haven't even gone and had a farewell meal of Kerby Lane's sweet potato fries -- my last brush with gluten really got my attention. Not my imagination that I can't think very well for about ten days minimum. But I haven't gone through every single bag hanging around. Like where does the dried fruit come from?
I bought bags of shelled pecans and walnuts at Costco's yesterday, their brand. But on the back of the almonds, it said the dreaded: "Processed on machinery that also processes...wheat."
Gotcha.
So now, in my freezer, there are a few shelled almonds in there...laughing at me...that will probably get taken to Odd Friday, where many people can eat them with no trouble at all.
Gotta find gluten-free almonds....
On the other hand, Woodchuck Hard Cider is gluten-free. I may get to take up drinking again.
