Celiac Eats Her Purse


I am not saying I am uber hungry, but it is hard to fill up on both no gluten and no carbs. It can be done, but just don't do it with a ton of prosciutto. Seriously. Now I understand why they serve it as appetizers in tiny pieces?

The whole package, Costco size, is not an invitation for ham and cheese ad nauseum. Or. Perhaps it is. However, I warned you. The aftermath is not pretty. First comes the satisfaction. Next up, about two hours and three gallons of water later comes the regret. Not long follows with a slight but sincere attempt by your body to punish you for such a stupid move. Nausea, followed by pounding headache, a few aches and pains, and the inability to leave the bathroom more than 10 feet away since you've now consumed 10 gallons of water.

That is the punishment. I can't even look at the remaining prosciutto in the package. I had to shove it under something in the refrigerator.

The next day I ate lightly and avoided any glance in the package's direction. I wasn't terribly thirsty anymore, but I was more bloated than if I had eaten an entire loaf of french bread, which at this point might have been better for me.

I have some gluten free ravioli in the freezer. Anyone want some?
