What in the world is GFCF?!

I just got back from the allergist. “Hum… oh, no… you’re not allergic to gluten. No, no – you can still be intolerant of it – maybe even allergic. These scratch tests are only fifty percent eff – Oh! Wait! Yup. You’re allergic to Casein. What’s that? No, not meat. MILK.”

I’m allergic to MILK not GLUTEN?

Oi.

So now I need to not only have a gluten free diet (’cause I don’t care WHAT the scratch test said: when I eat one BITE of bread my midsection grows more than FOUR INCHES in an hour from all the bloating and swelling that happens. Yes. I measured. Many times. ‘Cause I couldn’t believe it myself.) But now I need to add dairy products to my List o’ Nix.

But I love, love, love cheese!

And butter

And ice cream

… Hum. Wonder why I’m so .. um.. curvy. 😛

So, since I have to go through this, I figured I might as well write about it. ‘Cause it’s not going to be easy. And maybe if I blog about it, someone else can benefit from what I learn. And my mistakes. ‘Cause I’m sure there will be those.

Here we go!
