Celiac disease, day one

So, on my first full day of trying to not eat gluten, which was yesterday, I think I did okay, except I need to replace my generic store-brand oatmeal with oats processed in a wheat-free environment. And my lunchtime macrobiotic sushi from Whole Foods had an ingredient I had never heard of, but I took a chance on it. My partner, who clearly loves me very much, made special GF pasta and red sauce for dinner. She made our kids and herself a separate red sauce with faux ground meat. Theirs looked better than mine, but mine was tasty never-the-less.

I have some real issues with the whole process of diagnosis of this disease. More on that later. Suffice to say for now, I opted to decline the option of a colonoscopy that the GI doc suggested I think as a way to help pay for his kids' private school tuition.
