Food frustrations:(

Recently I embarked on a journey to what I hope is a life in which I feel healthier and physically better.  I have long suspected that I suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and recently started trying to cut things out of my diet in an effort to feel better.  The list of things that I cannot eat seems to be longer then those things I can eat, WOW is that depressing!  The two really big things that I cannot seem to eat are dairy and wheat/gluten, at least those are the things that are making this transition difficult and expensive.  I have been mostly dairy free for almost a year now but only wheat/gluten free for about 2 weeks.  The wheat/gluten thing is truly challenging, and frustrating.  Today I made what I thought were gluten free carob chip cookies with Ewan and not only did 3/4 of them burn to a crisp but it turns out that carob chips have barley malt in them which has gluten in it.  So I had a huge mess on my hands, an upset stomach, and nothing to ease my craving for something sweet.  On the up side Ewan likes them, so I guess that is good.  In fact I just walked into the kitchen to see what he was doing and he was sitting on the counter next to the cookies eating them, he looked really cute.  So I guess I will be taking this one meal at a time and see how it goes, frustration and all
