Tori’s Writing Hole

Sometimes, I wonder about myself. I am very, very impatient. So it stands to reason that I’d be annoyed by the fact that I’m not feeling 100% from my new gluten free diet - and that I’d want to give up on it. Not an easy task, eating without gluten - especially when foods that you think would be “safe” by their very nature aren’t. I mean, who thinks of the fact that white rice at a Chinese restaurant might be steamed in the same pots/baskets as wheat noodles? Most people don’t even have to consider how their food is cooked when eating out (and probably would prefer not to!) - I can’t take anything for granted.

The thing is, aside from better digestion and weight loss, I’m still not feeling all that better on the fatigue and pain front. I can get up more easily in the morning, but my energy’s flagging by 10. I’d love to have an experience of a day where I get up, am able to perform the daily tasks of an average human being, and not want a nap in the morning. Will this ever happen? Is gluten even a part of this?

I feel like some sort of medical anomaly that will never be figured out. To look at me, you’d be like, yeah, she’s overweight and limps a little - but nothing severe’s going on. If only you (collective you, ie, the world) knew
