i arrived at the airport too early to check-in; the airline has a single counter here and it says they don't open until 3 hours before departure
their website spits out 2 different errors at me when i try to check in online
i guess it's in god's hands now

i have survived the flight to frankfurt and now it is time to wait 6 hours for the connecting flight
wearing a mask for that whole time was not fun, would not like to do that again anytime soon

so is the duty-free shop where you go to pick up last-minute gifts for your wife or for your mistress

currently testing out whether i can eat european bread b/c i hear sometimes people with gluten sensitivities in america can tolerate european bread just fine. if this works i'm gonna be pleased but also frustrated

european bread not looking good so far although hard to say if effects are being exacerbated by sleep dep 😬 i'll try this one or two more times after getting some sleep before giving up
silver lining: some cute girls in this airport tho

ate some sourdough bread and some crepes today and feeling mostly okay, my eyes got itchy after the crepes but hard to tell what that was about
such a relief to even *mostly* be able to handle gluten again

hmm nope gluten is still doing the main bad thing it usually does, there's this underlying thrum of tension in my whole body that is very familiar and i don't like it ugh
there *might* be a threshold effect? both yesterday and today it tasted fine up until a specific point

about an hour in and it's going okay so far, probably ate it too fast and didn't give my gut quite enough time to adjust... gonna go slow over the next few days to see what happens

anecdotally i have an easier time of it over here but my entire diet lifestyle and stress levels have changed so it’s not exactly a single variable experiment

For what it's worth, my wife also can't eat gluten in the US and heard that this might work for her
Would love to hear your experience!
