Or are you expressing shock at my not being a great eater of bread? :D
Expressing my shock of course!! That’s inconceivable!! I may have used that particular word as I was just reading an article about “The Princess Bride” but it works 🤣
But fingers crossed the gluten resistance is only temporary!!
Doctor told me to follow the promptings of my gut. When it's ready for gluten, my microbiome will let me know. Probably by making me crave a sandwich.

What, what, indeed!!! A life without all that beautiful yummy bread. I can't even....
It's like my body has reset itself.I used to love milk. I don't want it. Yoghurt and cheese yes, but milk, no.
Don't want coca cola. Don't even want tea. I'm drinking water, lemon & ginger tea, and lemonade at the moment. It's all I want.
Craving vegetables like no-one's business. Lunch today is a homemade vegetable soup with spinach, onions, corn kernels, and sweet potato, thickened with rice. Supper tonight will be a spicy cauliflower soup.
Also starting to want seafood, which I don't usually care much for. Especially wanting scallops and white fish!

Try plain kefir, which I love. Tastes something like a thicker buttermilk but with probiotics. Ginger tea is good for your stomach. Have you tried feta?
Terri wrote: "..lots of somethings by the sounds of that. lol"Yeah. Obviously there are a few things lacking in my system at the moment.

I find feta too salty.
I'll do a bread diet! mmm. yum. All those different breads. Sourdough, foccacia, seeded rye, etc etc etc...I've always been a craver of flour based things. Cakes, biscuits (cookies), bread, pasta. Love it all.
Allie wrote: "Mmmm a nice, fluffy foccacia. Dipped into the sauce of a hearty pasta. Mmmmm nom nom nom."nom nom nom. Agreed!

I just love bread - any kind. One of the drawbacks of my diabetes is that it limits my bread intake :DOh and get well soonest Margaret

If we ever meet in real life, we have a girls date to go for some Italian lol!
We sure do, Allie! And if we can't find one then we'll find an artisan style bakery that does coffees too. :)
Margaret is missing for a bit. Clot in both lungs. She's okay and I think she has wifi in hospital because she's posting on Facebook. Lol. :) So maybe she'll swing by and say hi.
So sorry for Margaret! Wish her to regain her health very very quickly. So we can have that Italian lunch....I would be gladly be your host. 😊
Sorry to learn about all you're going through, Margaret. Between the food poisoning and blood clots, you've had a pretty rough couple of weeks. Get well soon. Our thoughts are with you.all best.
Isn't it a real downer for her? The girl has a lovely holiday in London and then within 24 hours of getting off the plane back at Melbourne she has food poisoning followed by clots in the lungs!!That is just sheer bad luck.

And apparently we’re meeting up with Simona! Lol :)

Yes, let's go to Simona's so she can cook for us. But as long as she understands that there must be bread. Preferably fluffy focaccia...and for my tastes..hopefully the focaccia is practically drowning in olive oil.
Hey, I just got asked to follow Sarah Jessica Parker and the books she likes to read here on Goodreads.Now I know Reese Witherspoon has a book club, but it appears that she did that on her own, and she strikes me as someone who actually does like to read. Sarah Jessica Parker never struck me as much of a book reader (more of a fashionista), and I never liked anything I ever saw her in, so maybe I'm prejudiced, but this little invite seemed a bit contrived.
Anyway, I will not be following her.
I read about this on another group. It's some sort of spam. A lot of people apparently got the same message. Some decided to complain to goodreads about it.

I am ready to battle!!! 😉

She’s a actually a huge book lover.
But I got that message too and was like uhhhhhhhh what’s this 😒
Got that message too but just thought someone was trying to get me to have sex in the city. I'm married so had to turn the invitation down!
