I’m sorry. I am trying to be a relatively good blogger, but recently that has gone by the wayside. I had hoped that summer would be a lot better, not only for this blog, but for me. Then I inadvertently ate some gluten. I never thought that having like 5 fries that were cooked in the same oil as onion rings could have such a huge effect on me. I know it sounds like that whole “I’m a teenager, so I’m invincible” speech, but after all of my health stuff, I don’t believe in that one bit. I just thought that the more time that you spent not eating gluten, the worse the reaction will be when you have the tiniest amount. I thought that that would be awhile from now. And that scares me to know that when this little tiny mistake happens again, that I am in trouble. Maybe it will be a year from now, maybe a week from now. I don’t know. I just don’t want it to happen. The thing that scares me the most is knowing that it will. I am only in my teens. I still have my twenties, thirties, forties, and so on. That is a lot of years. A lot of mistakes. A lot of pain. I’m just glad that it’s not constant. That I am thankful for. I just need to be better. And I want to stay that way for a very long time. (Right now I’m thinking one slip up every 10 or so years. Yeah that would be nice… if only…)

Hi,
Hang in there. Its a process – and it gets easier… I think its easier to focus on the positive aspects of feeling better – and not the fear of feeling sick.
