Tag: gluten free

Just enjoyed a (mostly) gluten-free dinner of stir-fried sweet and sour chicken, homemade fried chips and chopped bacon, with Yeo Rhubarb and Custard yogurt for after. I thoroughly enjoyed it (as did the wonderful fiancee) and even though the sauce had gluten in it, I haven’t bloated!

I’m almost ready for trip to Lincoln tomorrow; I’ve made myself gluten-free pasta with cream cheese and chopped bacon to eat on the train, and I’m bringing some gluten-free jam tarts and rice cakes to snack on if I need to take meds on the go.

Speaking of meds, I’ve got myself a week pill pot with four sections per day, so I can put all the pills I’ll need during my stay in one place without having to bring loads of boxes and bottles with me. I got it from Amazon so if anyone needs one, I’ll post a link later.

Holiday start!

So I’ve been to gym again today. I did mostly leg weights but did a little bit on the cross-trainer as well. I’ve noticed my bad knee doesn’t like the cross-trainer too much though so I might have to give up on that and stick to a brisk walk on the treadmill instead.

I’ve also been cooking again; truffles are chilling in the fridge and just need to be covered in chocolate at some point, and the latest batch of brownies are on the cooling rack. I’ll be taking the brownies with me to Lincoln on Wednesday so I’m not allowing myself to eat any of them until then.

As for my symptoms, my bloating has gone down quite a bit now that I’m taking only four steroids a day, and even though my appetite is quite low at the moment, I’m able to eat normally. I’m sticking to a reduced-gluten diet at the moment so I’m feeling quite a bit better. I did have a little pain in my left side over the weekend but that’s gone now as have the headaches (mostly).

For those interested, the rats are getting new bedding this afternoon so I’ll be having fun trying to get them out of the cage; they won’t let me pick them up yet.

I have tried the gluten-free range at Sainsbury’s and they are very good. My local shop doesn’t have a big range though.

My all time favourite gluten free breaded chicken from ‘Rule of Crumb’ 😊 it is also in my opinion better than regular breaded chicken 💜 (Mark agrees!) 👸🏼 definitely recommend it, we had the best dinner last night! 👌🏻 #glutenfreeeats #glutenfreechicken #glutenfreebreadedchicken #glutenfreediet #breadedchicken #bestchicken #bestchickenever #winnerwinnerchickendinner #glutenfreemeals #glutenfreeuk #glutenfreedinner #glutenfreeideas #ruleofcrumb #glutenfree #glutenfreeliving #glutenfreelife #glutenfreefoodporn #foodporn #wheatfree #foodie #foodblog

Having gluten-free chicken pie, potato waffles and beans for dinner. I don’t think I’ve eaten too well this week so this is probably the first proper meal I’ve had. I’ll try and do this more often.

In other news, I was strangely energetic today. So much so that I only had one caramel tea all day. My cold certainly seems to be going so I’m feeling a lot better than I was over the weekend. I know I’ll be exhausted after work on Sunday, but at least I can relax for two days after. I still have my weekly blood test to go to on Monday but that’s the only thing I need to go out for. Otherwise, I can just chill and recover from the long working week. I’ll likely put aside some time to make more bracelets. I’m going to try and work out a few more generic designs but we’ll see. I’m finding it quite relaxing.
