So, I tried a gluten free bread today. Two things I learned: I don't care for it much, and might just be happy doing without. If I have it again, it will be much more thinly sliced. I had it with sandwich meat, and frankly, it was gross. I ended up rolling the meat around my pickle and eating it alone. I've never been a fan of bready stuff though. No bread? I'm good, thanks!
In other news, I had a Boston Heart Diagnostic run on me a few weeks ago. My triglycerides are super high. The good news is, I can change it. The bad news...Niacin! My doctor is recommending Niacin and I'm not exactly happy about that. It causes flushing and well, I do that enough as it is. I will be supplementing with L methylfolate, Vitamin D, and fish oil, or Levozaz. I also get the fine privilege of taking Lipitor or Crestor depending on insurance.
My cholesterol level is within range, but because my triglycerides are wonky, I get a candy dish for breakfast. :-/ These may not all be permanent, I don't think. And if my information seems wrong, forgive me, I'm trying to soak it all in and learn.
What an adventure... This should be fun!
