So glad the holidays are over

[wowhead]

Explaining food restrictions a million times in such a short period of time sucks!  In one evening at one meal I was approached no less than 7 times being told that I could eat this or that. Um, nope. Can't eat any or those things and you are just making it worse. 

How did you fare?

[panicked]

We didn't go anywhere this year. We just stayed in and had people over. That was the way to go, I'll tell you! I could eat everything and didnt worry about cross-contamination. The least stressful holiday ever, at least food-wise.

But now that the holidays are over, I get to start 2015 with an endoscope and bloodwork to see what the hell is going on with me. I'm still having symptoms despite being gluten free. Sigh.

I had to explain that no, we aren't having children.

That I'm not ever going to get better.

To close family members, that much of this is genetic and they should take that into consideration.

That no, I can't drink.

None of that was fun, but at least it's now been said.
