wheat-sensitive

there is no word to describe how crushed i was when the ayurvedic doctor said, stop eating wheat, you can't digest it. i loved pasta, tons of it. i love noodle, bowl after bowl of it. i love fresh bread, i love croissant, cake, cookie, all of that. but i trusted this doctor. why? simple. he looks and sounds very healthy himself. so i decided to give it a try. almost immediately i could tell the difference. the morning sluggishness gone, lingering migranes gone, mental fogginess gone, mood swings gone. in came steady energy, better meditation, stable lightheartedness. it's not been an easy adjustment. it's costlier too. but, hey, i am now able to make yummy-yum wheat-free choc chip cookie, ginger snap, banana bread and the repertoire is still expanding; i have lost the ten pounds that i had not been able to shed for three decades.

this wheat-sensitive thing turns out to be a total blessing in disguise.
