-7 I haven't felt this bad in a long time. Like probably about 6 months. But that other instance was caused by a specific event that was outside of my control. I'm not entirely sure what is going on right now. I mean, I'm stressed about finals, but I'm not *that* worried about it to warrant this kind of emotional reaction.
I just thought of something. For some reason I never connect diet to mental/emotional consequences, but I ate a turkey sandwich earlier today because I was literally about to either pass out or throw up from hunger and there wasn't any gfcf food readily available. I took off the cheese because I didn't feel like spending my whole evening in the bathroom, but I was really really hungry and felt silly to pay $4 for a slice of turkey, a piece of tomato, and a little bit of lettuce (I know it's a rip-off, I was desperate), so I ate the bread even though I've been entirely gluten free for 3 weeks. So I just read this: http://www.celiac.com/articles/21758/1/ ... Page1.html It's looking more and more likely that I am sensitive to gluten. Every time I've accidentally come in contact with gluten since deciding to eliminate it, I've had some sort of reaction. A generic band-aid left a rash on my arm when I've never had a reaction like that before even to that specific box of band-aids (that one's not for sure, but I've read that gluten is sometimes used in adhesives), I had some non-gf soy sauce and ended up itchy all over, I put chicken nuggets into a pan for someone else and ended up with a rash on my hands, and now this. By the way, I'm itchy now too, but I was kinda expecting that.
