Here comes that writing slump again. I always want to write, I just don't always have the energy or maybe willingness to share what's going on all the time.
So I had people over, geez, 10 days ago. See the pretty peonies below? Beautiful flower arrangement. Which I left Lola alone with. And she destroyed them. I was not a happy camper. The night went really well, there was so much food and drink. And I managed not to take a single picture. Oh well.
Food lately has been a struggle. I love food, all food - bread, cheese, pizza, salmon, veggies, etc. But over the past few weeks, when I eat certain foods I feel...off. Like there's food stuck in my throat. And it's usually after some type of carb, although yesterday it also happened after eating a salad. The dressing maybe?
So of course I googled "feels like i have food stuck in my throat." Possible diagnoses include GERD, acid reflux, dysphagia, esophagus cancer...and gluten allergy. I do NOT approve of that last one. It can be any of the others. Ok, not cancer. But please don't take away my carbs! Gluten is a protein that is found in wheat, barley, and rye. Wheat is a grain most commonly found in breads, pastas, and cereal. Wheat often appears in foods like soups and salad dressings as well. Barley is commonly found in beer and in foods containing malt. Rye is most often found in rye bread, rye beer, and some cereals.
Over the past few weeks, anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours after I eat something, usually some type of bread, I get the feeling like there's something stuck in my throat and it last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. But the weird thing is I had whole wheat pizza the other night and was fine, I had ciabatta and was fine. So it's not all bread. Maybe just the most processed? Who knows. I'm going to have to play around with my diet and see what works.
