When I stopped following my strict meat and veggies diet about a month ago, I started feeling different. My headaches and dizziness were subsiding, but my body wasn't feeling right. After chatting with a few people, I started to wonder if perhaps my body cannot handle the sugar and carbs properly. I'm still researching this, gluten intolerance being one of my focuses in particular. But, I've decided to run some preliminary tests on my own, just for fun. Don't worry, I'm going to speak with a doctor about this too.
I purchased some gluten free foods as a starting point in my tests. Last night, I was craving a turkey sandwich. We had chicken, so I went for that and made myself a sandwich using Brown Rice Loaf purchased at my local fruit market. At $6 for a small loaf, I had extremely high expectations. Was I in for a major surprise when I could barely get the stuff down. Dry and gritty, this wasn't bread- or cake-like. This was stale bread mixed with majorly dry corn bread, complete with a crumbly texture. My dog even had trouble swallowing the loaf. The fact that it's called "loaf" should have been my first clue to be suspicious.
If I am, in fact, gluten intolerant or something like that, this will be interesting to say the least. I need some suggestions on truly good gluten-free foods.
