Wheat

So, yesterday I started this 'gluten challenge' thing, in which I have to eat as much wheat, barley, rye and spelt as possible over the next week ready for a blood test next wednesday, and my stomach spent the whole of this morning trying to convince me never to eat again.

I had a beef burger for lunch, and a piece of bread with my supper. I felt fine last night, but since about quarter to seven this morning (when I got up, needing to get a lift with Steve's dad to Darlington to catch the train back to York and work) it's been constant nausea and please-don't-put-food-near-me-but-I'm-hungry. I got a hot chocolate and a pastry thing at York station, and it helped a bit. Hope that the pastry doesn't try to escape too badly when it's being digested, though.

It's weird. The last few weeks I've kept going all 'That bread smells so good!' whenever I go into a shop, but I have no desire whatsoever to actually eat any. Eating the burger bap yesterday felt a bit like eating candyfloss, to be honest. You chew it and taste it and stuff, but it's not food, as such. Pointless.

...It occurs to me that it's one o'clock in the afternoon and I haven't eaten any food that my body will recognise as food yet today. Lunch!
