So I finally get an endoscopy tomorrow to confirm my Coeliacness. I've spent weeks being cross that it's taken so long and looking forward to getting on with a GF diet, but now that it's upon me I'm starting to really think about all the things I won't be able to eat.
So I just had a "for old time's sake"" lunch of an M&S prawn sarnie (which trumped wraps or paninis after some deliberation) followed by a cinnamon pastry. For dinner I think it'll have to be fresh pasta as there's some spinach and ricotta tortellini in the fridge. No brekkie tomorrow unless I get up extremely early, so I had mini wheats this morning.
I'm already bloating up courtesy of the sarnie and danish, so I know it's a Good Thing to be getting on with it and cutting out the evil gluten. But I may spend the afternoon wistfully pondering Pret sandwiches, Morton's mozzarella and sun dried tomato baguettes, Ben's cookies and other such lunchtime treats.
I am lucky enough to have a couple of extremely tasty options on my doorstep at work though: the Alpha Bar does amazing salad boxes, and for a once-in-a-while blow-out there's The Mission who will serve their delicious veggie burritos without the tortilla in a bowl instead.
So all is not completely lost. Bring on the endoscope!
(Erm, sort of..)
