I ♥ Breakfast

Snack,
apple and peanut butter
the apple and peanut butter did
not sit well . I have been questioning whither or not I was going to have to lose the peanut butter. I guess the last two days indicates the peanut butter is gone. This saddens me ;(

Between my celiacs disease , my food intolerances and my blood sugar issues , I have lost many foods. 

When I first was diagnosed  with celiacs the elimination of foods from my diet was meet with sheer hysterics. So not kidding! The crying and stomping my feet was not a pretty site .
Now losing a food is  sadness ,just plain sadness.
