The first few days of eating gluten-free resulted in my first flub.
I went to the store and found this pizza in our grocery store freezer section. It was a plain cheese pizza, and while it was half again what I would pay for a regular frozen pizza, I was excited to try it out.I decided that I should "dress it up right" and have my favorite Hawaiian pizza instead. "See, I can have it all!" Unfortunately, this was before I realized that the world puts gluten in everything, including meat sometimes. I had a reaction to the ham and felt all sorts of crappy. Lesson learned: processed anything (including meat) may contain gluten and needs to be checked.
Now to clarify, the problem was not the pizza (I've had it many times since and loved it), but my additions to the pizza. In the months since, I've learned that limited choices are not the worst thing; at least with said choices I can feel confident that I'm safe.
