Gluten blip

[vaneramos]

The e-bar accidentally served me shrimp on wheat pasta Tuesday night. I had ordered a different gluten-free shrimp dish the server recommended, but received the wrong plate. An open mic session was underway. Distracted, I assumed the stuff under the shrimp was rice pasta, and ate most of it before the server realized her error. They gave me my original order and a third glass of wine on the house.

The previous two gluten mishaps have had unpleasant consequences, so I expected the noodles to make me very sick. They didn't. Through the week I've felt cramps and listlessness so minor I might not have noticed if I hadn't been paying attention. My guts are confusing.

What happened to your thyroid? Yes, the wheat sensitivity is unpredictable for me, too. I seem to be able to consume soy sauce made with wheat, no problem. So once I was served a couple tablespoons of gravy and thought I would be okay. Wrong. It flushed my entire GI tract in 15 minutes. After having pasta Tuesday night, I was fine on Wednesday, but felt some cramps Thursday morning and my gut has been a little bit off ever since. It is bizarre.
