Stress

So tell me... what does stress do to you?  I mean, does it give you symptoms that are similar to being glutened?  I get bad news, and immediately all the symptoms come rushing back... the trips to the bathroom, the belly pain, the desire to hide under the covers.

My best friend is having some minor surgery on Wednesday, and I'm falling apart.  I have a world of things to do (I'm moving on Wednesday - I didn't know about the surgery when I made my plans) and absolutely no desire to do any of them.

Guess I'll just keep packing and hope for the best.

Domino's new "Gluten Free" crust

While I think it is great that more companies are willing to think outside the box and try to accomodate people with restricted diets, I don't think this is a great way to go about it.  They themselves say it isn't safe for those of us with Celiac Disease... so why bother?  Either you are going to make it safe, or you shouldn't claim it is gluten free.  Not everyone will see the Youtube video in which they tell you they put the crust on the same surfaces as the regular crusts, thus contaminating them.  

People are going to get sick.  I just don't think it is right to advertise a gluten free product that you know is most likely not going to be gluten free when you deliver it to the customer.
