i'm not setting a time-line for myself for going gluten-free.  heck, i haven't even heard from the doctor yet if the test says anything and if further tests (i.e. biopsy) would be needed, so going cold turkey doesn't make much sense.

but, whatever the test results, i've decided i need to do this.  i have too many mysterious symptoms that might tie to this, so trying can't hurt.  it will just suck a lot.

so baby-steps it is.  besides, my budget can't afford a completely pantry empty and restock.

as of today, i'm going to start the elimination of bread and pasta.  I have a ton of pasta in the cupboard that will have to make a trip to the food pantry.  (but my annie chun's udon noodle bowls will be consumed by me. . . )  i also have a huge amount of bulk bread flour, but i can give that to Robin since she and Jeff use their bread machine all the time.

all shopping from now on will be for gluten-free products.  i've already scooped out amazon.com's gluten-free grocery section, and it looks great.  annie rice-noodle and cheese mix!  since everything there is in bulk, i'll have to do test runs of things as i pick them up from whole foods.  then i can decide if i want them in huge amounts.

and i need to talk to my friendly whole food peeps.  i noticed last week their fresh bread section was lacking in any gluten-free staples.  for shame!  bad enough i have to give up my cuban pork burritos (wheat tortilla) and honey jalapeno pulled pork quesadillas.  ::sob::  they have to give me something i can make a b.l.t. with.

and i just noticed the abundance of pig meat in that last ramble.  i think i know where my food on the hoof preference lies.
