When I look back on it, I highly suspect it was the detox drink. I can count on one hand the number of times I've cried and had no idea why. It just doesn't happen. My husband's birthday was on Friday and the cake I made didn't come out the way I wanted it to. Ordinarily, that would just aggravate me. Friday...it made me cry.
On Saturday night, we went to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate. We rarely go there. We both got the same thing with different sides...a 10 oz. ribeye and a half slab of ribs. I got a Caesar salad, baked potato with butter and sour cream, and sweet tea. I ate half of one roll with a little of their special butter on one bite. Before we left I got so nauseated I thought I was going to have to leave the table. I walked like a snail out to the car and, several times along the way, thought I was going to lose my dinner. I made it home and laid down on the couch with terrible abdominal cramping in addition to the nausea. Sunday morning, I still didn't feel well and skipped breakfast.
The good thing about eating out at places like that is that we only eat half and take the rest home. The Informal Eating of the Leftovers happened last evening. Last night, I didn't have the Caesar salad and I'm not sure I drank any of the leftover tea I brought home. If I did, it was very little. But...I had steak, ribs, baked potato, and a whole roll. While I've been mostly gluten-free and casein-free at the very beginning (quite religiously) I knew I didn't have a problem with either, so I've been eating both at times. Still, whenever I make pasta, toast, or sandwiches I always use gluten-free pasta and bread. Well...within an hour the same thing happened. I was so sick I managed to make it to the couch, lay down on a pile of clean laundry and cover up with one of my husband's sweatshirts and a T-shirt because I was too sick to get back up and get a blanket.
So, what's going on with me? I'm pretty sure I can narrow it down to just one thing...the rolls. Quite possibly, I could be at the beginning of some kind of gastrointestinal cycle with this which, most likely, means that my endocrine system may be up for a break. Party!! All I can say is, it's about time and I hope it's true.
