When It's Ovah ~ It's Ovah!

I never, ever thought I would type these words: It's Over (Ovah)!

My love affair with Wine.

My quest to 'heal' my growing stomach problems have taken me through tests, tests and more tests, some heavy-duty prescription Prilosec and a new adventure to Glutenfreeville!

Yesterday I felt pretty darn good - still pain - but better than I had felt in a long time. Then, I drank wine - well, a couple of glasses actually. This morning I wake to an all-too-familiar pain in my tummy. Ouch! I've never been great at Math, but I was able to put two and two together and come up with an ah-ha moment!

Wine + last night = stomach pain today

Previously I had waved off stomach pains as being part of whatever the problem in my tummy was (ulcer, gastritis, reflux....), but then I cut out gluten last Monday. That, along with the Prilosec, began to make me feel so much better - and no heartburn or reflux! It hit me this morning that the wine had gluten and here I am. Feeling like I have swallowed a side of beef - whole, I'm nauseous and my tummy hurts.

So...I can't purposely make myself feel like this again.

It will be a hard row to hoe without wine but... I will survive!

Peace
