wheat sensitivity
This morning I microwaved a freezer quiche. The crust has wheat flour in it.
I decided that since I’ve nothing pressing to do today, I might as well do a threshhold test, so I ate about two good bites of the crust along with the quiche, and just dug the egg out of the rest of the crust.
The two mouthfuls was all it took to give me a reaction.
The reaction occurred about two hours after ingestion, which is the normal reaction time with me and wheat.
The reaction is fuzzy-headedness / low-grade headache with plugged ears and hypoglycemia.
My gut did not react - that happens with yeast.
So, now I take it down another notch and only try one mouthful of wheat flour. Too bad I only had one quiche to test with. I’ll have to either buy another or find some more wheat flour in one of B’s foods to do another test with tomorrow afternoon.
To combat the current hypoglycemic attack, I’m eating a turkey/chicken/portabella burger (also a pre-packaged freezer food I recently bought and don’t recommend buying again cuz it tastes kinda gross). The burger is smothered in mozarella cheese. I chose these two foods because I believe it will spike my protein levels, and the yeast is minute in the mushrooms and the cheese - it doesn’t give me a gut reaction. Oh, and I’m chugging lots of water, too.
5:26pm Edit: My blood sugar stabilised within an hour and a half of eating the hamburger patty and chugging water. Wheee.
