Natty's Kicking her Mortgage in the Pants Diary

Day 3 of gluten thingy .....

Still 7 slices of evil to go (yep Pavlovs - stale, soft ryvita ... that has been wee'd on to give it more taste) I find if you toast it though and add a jar of marmalade it makes it every so slightly more palatable.
Will not be buying any 'gluten free' moneymakingripoffmerchantssh1te again. So there 'free from' manufacturers :cool:

If you go to docs and get diagnosed you can get some stuff on prescription... pal is coeliac and I think they have a Scottish society that has lots of info.

Hope work is going ok:D

Hi SS - yes work's fine thank you:) When do you start university?

I honestly don't think I have coeliac disease - just need to give more consideration to my diet and see if a reduction of gluten benefits me in any way... tbh I'd rather not eat the 'free from' stuff as it tend to be fairly high up in the fat%, so will happily just up the fruit and veg whilst cutting out the wheat and processed muck.

No idea:o, September sometime?:D

I think it's quite taxing on your digestive system so we could probably all benefit from a rest from time to time, meringues are gluten free...

Exactly;)

I've not heard from them apart from confirmation, I had 7th Sept in my mind but looked on the website and calendar suggests 16th? Tried phoning but number was not in use and emailing and it bounced back - I'm sure they'll be in touch:rotfl: :rotfl: I have SAAS and student loan sorted so have done the important stuff.

As long as you have freshers week dates, that's all that really matters

ahh but I'm not really a proper fresher - starting in second year:o and way too old for all that stuff (apart from the freebies obviously:rotfl::rotfl:)

Definitely more energy Tilly (despite being in bed early last night - that was more to do with the chilly evening drawing in and my resolve NOT to stick central heating on until 1st October:p)

My tummy is perhaps a tad less bloated - however strikingly so...

I most definitely need to compile a lost of midweek meals that are quick and satisfying as I will no longer be reaching for a biscuit to munch on whilst waiting for tea to cook. Tonight is veggie chilli with rice:)

I have taken in a banana to work every day for snack, however finding lunchtime food a bit more difficult as I would normally have a sandwich.... perhaps fruit/salad then move towards homemade soup during colder months.
