I haven't had any wheat since early September. But last night I fell off the wagon (OK - I jumped!) and had soup that was likely thickened with flour, 2 crackers, and several cookies. This morning I woke up with aching fingers, ankles, and legs. I had forgotten that I used to feel this horrible nearly all the time.

Never again. A few bites of goodies - which did taste good - simply aren't worth the pain.

And the latte after dinner didn't help my blood sugar any. It was - for me - frighteningly high.

I'm back on the wheat-free sugar-free low-carb wagon. I wrote down how bad I feel so I won't be tempted again.
