no donuts

[nisaa]

Sometimes, on the way home from a date late at night, I used to stop at a donut shop and get a donut and a cup of tea to keep me awake for the drive home. I know that spelt donuts exist, but they don't have them at late night donut shops. Instead I came home tonight and had a bowl of spelt flakes with organic dried strawberries and almond milk. Not a bad alternative, just not what I wanted.

I don't know how long it's been since I gave up wheat - about three months now. Enough to stop counting. Every day it gets a little easier as I find tasty non-wheat and gluten-free things to eat. One of my teachers at school has Celiac's and is from London. She told me that they have so many more gluten-free options over there - imitations of all kinds of snack foods.

My acne is still an issue since I gave up wheat, though it's certainly much better. I just need to figure out what other foods are triggers. Probably eating greasy food while camping didn't help. I did find lots of things I could eat while camping that were wheat-free and/or gluten-free, so that's promising. And my stomach loves me a lot more.

So where do you get wheat free products from? there is some at Trader Joes... my options are limited here.. but am willing to drive. :)

Trader Joe's apparently has a lot of stuff - I just haven't seen much of it yet. Otherwise, you can look at local health food stores and even some grocery stores have gluten-free stuff in the baking section - pancake and muffin mix and all purpose baking flour and stuff like that.
