I was Glutened!

I was really dumb and ate something that I was pretty sure was not safe, but it seemed such a minuscule amount of gluten that I didn't think it would be a big deal. I had some CORN tortilla chips at a mexican restaurant. Normally they are okay from a bag of tortilla chips that are made in a factory, since that is the only thing fried in that oil. But in a restaurant they usually have one or two fryers that everything gets fried in. Gluten items included. So I had to have the salsa. This place has out of this world salsa! But I needed some way to get it into my mouth. I thought about the spoon, but thought it would not be setting a good example for Logan. So I grabbed a total of only THREE chips with loads of salsa. The next two days I had a headache. A very good sign that I had some gluten. But then I did something that I could not have foreseen the outcome. I took some Advil and with in minutes my tummy was on fire. No, the Advil is gluten free but I think the gluten damage caused in my intestines was intensified by the caustic effects of ibuprofen. It lasted for almost two days and I couldn't eat anything but rice and chicken broth. I am still having problems but hopefully it will be better tomorrow since it is my birthday. We are not officially celebrating it until Saturday. So the moral of the story is... If you are gluten intolerant eat the salsa from a spoon!
