I have had no trouble at all staying away from gluten for the last 12 days. It is always uppermost in my mind before I eat anything and I have not had any trouble forgetting...until today, when I did my first slip up. I felt like lightening was going to strike me or something, but I lived. I had been riding my bicycle in 95 degree heat, and when I stopped at my destination I was offered a cold beer. Now I don't usually even drink beer, so it is not something I have thought about other than seeing that it is on the list of foods/drinks to avoid because they have gluten in them. But as I said, I was hot and thirsty so I said yes, and reached out and grabbed the bottle and took a sip (I wont say "swig" cause that sounds like I am a lush!). Well, the cold brew had barely passed my tongue till I remembered "the list" that I had just violated!
So then what happend? I am not really sure. I sort of felt that in about an hour I got very tired and draggy like I often do, though it had been much less so the past week. So was it the taste of gluten reacting, or did I imagine it made me draggy and foggy?...I am uncertain.
