conclusions

the reason for starting this food blog was to find out what is going on with my stomach. since all samples of me came back negative, normal or A-OK, i'm left to deduce that i'm allergic to a food or the stress from work.

the full bloating feeling is coming and going, but i can sort of point to commonality of 3 possible suspects:

red wine
wheat / gluten
cheese (unlikely, now that i think about it)


wow. that's irritating.
