After yesterday's dire consequences of me snaffling half an Easter egg, my tum is surprisingly not too bad this morning. It's a little uncomfy, but nothing else.
I am going out today with a friend, this usually involves getting a bite to eat, am contemplating taking a sandwich with me? Hmm, not sure. Might just wait and eat when I'm back home.
Breakfast:
Porridge l/f milk
Redbush tea
Mid morning:
Redbush tea.
Whilst sat in the cafe drinking tea, we noticed they do a g/f bread option on their 'build your own sandwich'. So we thought we'd go back there later for lunch.
Lunch:
G/f bread, cheddara and salad (cucumber, Tom, mixed leaves) sandwich, handful of plain crisps.
Redbush tea.
When the lady bought the sandwiches out, I though, ooo they look nice...infact, they look a little 'too' nice, so I queried, 'is this gluten free bread?' To which she answered, 'no, should it be?'
*sigh*, good job I asked!
When she bought the g/f version out, it was like a completely diff sight, that bouncy looking bread :-( ...but I have to say, it was a lot more pleasent tasting that it looked :)
When I got home, I had missed a parcel delivery, so hobbled up to the post office where the had left he parcel to find a big and somewhat heavy box to hobble home with (sore joints today).
To my surprise I'd been sent some g/f freebies :) I was delighted with the range, but then on looking closer athe ingredients, I realised most of the breads were actually made with wheat starch still in, so they are no good. Some of the other things had milk powder in and some of the breads had apple and honey in them :(
I have a friend who is celiac, so I have passed them on to her, as it'd be a shame to waste them. I kept a couple of boxes of pasta, some crackers and a box of cornflakes.
It did make me wonder what kind of bread I'd eaten in that sandwich today. I certainly wouldn't have eaten there if I'd have been celiac, as there didn't seem to be much mindfulness about cross contamination going on and even the fact that they plonked crisps on my plate without asking if they were ok, or indeed if I even wanted them, to me said they didn't seem to know much about decker rh requirements. I wasn't expecting them to know about FODMAP, but it seems pointless to offer g/f bread, then not even bother about cross cross contamination when making the sandwich, it would be awful for a person with celiac to have that.
But, it was nice for me that I could actually eat out, as this was just a small shopping centre we were at, so the choice wasn't vast. Though I daren't risk salad cream, as I know each will have diff ingredients, so the sarnie lacked a little va va voomf for me as I doooo love salad cream.
I always carry redbush teabags in my bag with me incase I can't find somewhere that sells it when I'm out, though I often just have hot water. I'm now thinking, should I take salad cream sachets too haha, at this rate, I'll have a small kitchen in my handbag :)
Dinner:
Felt a little sick, so didn't have dinner, though I pinched a couple of cold new potatoes :)
Redbush tea
Evening:
Redbush the x 2
FODMAP friendly cheesey bites...mmmmmm yum.
