Whenever Did Food Tasters Go Out Of Style?!

I'm thinking that it would be nice to have a person with officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease taste my food before me. If I had unlimited funds, I could pay someone else to have diarrhea instead of me! Probably some sort of employee welfare law would prevent this sort of cruelty. I might outsource to China or Mexico.

In any case, I woke up this morning with a horrible case of...D. And I will spare you the details, but it's clear that a) it was the worst D I've had in a long time and b) I had recently eaten something very, very bad for me.

I'm still not sure what caused the whole fiasco, but my Dear Husband pointed out that the kind-of gluten-free bagels I have been getting from the Cool Acupuncture Guy might be the reason. The reason is that though they are (DELICIOUS!) gluten-free technically and are made from just millet flour and flax seed meal, they aren't made on dedicated gluten-free machines. So, there's a lot of room for wheat corruption.

Looking at everything else I ate yesterday, other possible culprits include broccoli and soybean oil from a garlic pill supplement. Everything else I'd eaten is something I've had before that did nothing.

I'm a little mad at myself because the package clearly says "contains traces of gluten, wheat, and yeast". I just thought for sure that trace amounts of anything wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be true.

Today is a sad, bagel-free day and I already feel better. If this experiment is successful and I get better not eating bagels with trace amounts of gluten...then I'm lots more sensitive than I thought.

P.S.--Sami's Bakery in Florida has an online store and their products are amazing. I haven't ever gotten sick from their stuff before, so I still recommend it.
