Update On Gluten Challenge
So far all is going well on the Gluten Challenge, no nasty side effects so far as I can tell. I have had some small amounts of bloating but I suspect this might be from having cereal on some mornings. Lactose seems to bother me much more first thing in the morning than it does later in the day. This has pretty much always been the case, I just used to avoid having too much dairy in the mornings not realising I was lactose intolerant. I just knew my tummy didn’t like it first thing in the morning! 
Yesterday I had toast and had no bloating. I don’t feel any more or less tired, than usual and pretty much feel the same as I did before.
Of course this doesn’t mean I am not Coeliac, as some Coeliac’s do not get any obvious symptoms, so time will tell if I am or not when I have another biopsy in three months time. In the meantime I intend to enjoy my little reprieve from the horrible gluten free diet. It is amazing how good food is tasting again! I am going to have to be careful I don’t put on weight. I lost about 5 kg in the last 6 mths and I don’t want to ruin that!
The fevers have gotten worse again, but that started before I was back on the gluten. I am having them every day again at the moment, usually in the late afternoon and evening. I can’t wait to get to the bottom of what is causing them as they are driving me batty! My gp was apparently having breakfast with an Endocrinologist friend of hers and was going to talk to her about me so I might give it another week or so before I go and see her, I need to see her again anyway.
It has been SUCH a treat to eat normally again. I really feel like a leper when I have all this special treatment because of my Gluten Free diet, I really hate it. If it turns out that I am Coeliac I will just have to learn to live with it I guess, I know I wouldn’t mind so much if I actually felt better from it, it would be worth it to actually feel healthy for a change. Since there is something else wrong with me (fevers etc) anyway I would rather just deal with one thing thank you very much. It has really got my gp stumped as to what is causing the fevers. I take my temp every night when I am feeling off, and every night it is around 38.1 degrees give or take.
Work is incredibly busy at the moment. We have just lost a second receptionist after our brilliant one (the best they had ever had) left to have her baby and so all the admin staff have been under quite a load taking up the slack as well as dealing with the rush before the tax deadlines. I am falling further and further behind in my own work because of having to do so much other work. A new ad went in the paper today with a deadline of 22 May so it is not going to change in the immediate future. I have brought some work home this weekend in the effort to try and catch up some. Will see how I go!
