Wow! That lapse of memory is the sort of thing I could do, @Brunneria . Aside from your mega-spike, which probably knocks you a bit, do you experience any other symptoms immediately when you gluten yourself? These days in addition to the fatigue etc, I get a splitting headache. I feel your pain, with that to get over, as well as your virus.
Oddly, gluten does nothing to me for around 24 hrs.
Then I get itchy ears. Inside, down near the eardrum. Drives me insane! Lol
Days 2-3 my guts set like cement.
And days 4-14 i get psoriasis in hairline and around ears.
Knee pain on climbing/decending stairs for about 10 days.
You couldn’t make it up, could you?
I spent ages trying to work out what was causing it, but the symptoms are so bizarrely unconnected, I didn’t twig until we went on hol for a week to Northumbria, and I declared a Low Carb Amnesty for 1 week, and ate Bannock, toast and scones. Delicious!

Ended up unable to climb even 3 steps at a time. It just got worse and worse. I was hauling myself up by the bannisters. And wondering if we needed to move to a bungalow.
Stopped the gluten on the drive home.
2 weeks later, the symptoms were fading fast, and completely gone at 6 weeks.
That brownie today was a major lapse in judgement!
Your M&S recipe sounds lovely
Thank you yes mum and aunt loved the break and as she’s 87 times like this are precious it’s just so stressful trying to make it all work out! Left her at home all rested and happy hopefully will be able to not go up again for a few weeks! I’ve got a fair bit
of paid work over June so will be good if don’t have to rush up especially as need to care for autistic son too. I’m not complaining I don’t think! I’m very lucky to have such a lovely family. I’ve also got puppy caring duties in a few weeks as youngest son and partner have adopted a puppy!
Oh yes, aside from alcohol and water what people do drink as I am concerned about the industrial quantities of tea I imbibe?
Very strange day in some ways. OK start with average fbg then I seem to have broken myself and came across a bg reading of 5.9 - the 4 or 5 of those I have come across since early March have been when I have been ill. Today's menu below so I hope tomorrow will make sense to me when my meter reports back:
B: 2X pint mugs Tea with almond milk: 1 x small mug coffee with vanilla and double cream
MMS: 2 X pint mug tea with almond milk
L: Salami and chorizo crisps; guacamole; kale chips; chicken breast; beef strips
MAS: Homemade HF Chocolate toffee bar
D: Chicken (instant pot trial); asparagus; Leaf salad; Cherry toms; cucumber; radish; spring onions

The squash suggestion is one I had considered but was unsure about so that's good. @DJC3 fruit teas and camomile tea can be tolerated in small doses.Well done jumping in with your IP. How did you do your chicken? One thing I adore about the pot is being able to lob is chicken joints, frozen and cooking from there. These days forgetting to take something out of the freezer for dinner is no excuse!
As well as tea (Assam), I drink de-caff coffee and the odd fruit or mint tea and no sugar added squash.

@DCUKMod The IP chicken was very tender but we need to work on it. We seared it first but it needed browning after cooking. Ours chook was a bit tidly so we will need to adjust times. No disaster and looking forward to lamb shanks and ox cheek from IP and sous vide.
OH, I may not have broken myself it may be one high tech soap and dispenser! Just tested after dinner 6.2 on that but 4.9 using good old bar of soap which is much more in line with normal and what a chicken salad should produce

Thanks for all that. We tried the grill to brown but ours is so shallow it wouldn't work so we will use oven or griddle next time.A few minutes in the oven works for browning, or if you don't want to do that, there's a technique you can use with a blow torch. The trick with the blow torch is to ensure you held it far enough away from whatever you're browning, otherwise it takes on a bit of a taste. The blow torch is also very good for finishing crackling nicely.
I prefer pork to ox cheek, but either is fab in the IP. I haven't tried them sous vide yet. I'm much newer to that.
This was receommended to me by someone very experience in the SV way: http://www.douglasbaldwin.com/sous-vide.html
What do they do to your BGs? Carb count looks very high.I prefer them! They are more like high carb chocolate bars like Mars and Marathon as in they are soft and chewy. They are bigger so more calories but very filling! They are VERY expensive, normally £2.50 each, but on offer at Tesco 2 for £4 now so stocking up I’m my weekly shop tomorrow! They are twice the size of Adonis so you could cut them in half...... could but I haven’t!

L: Low carb bagel with turkey, spinach and Red Leicester cheese.
D: Garlic and herb chicken breast, bacon medallions, halloumi, broccoli rice
Snacks: Quest bar, peanut butter cheesecake fat bomb
Sugars between 6.0-6.2 all day today even after food. Hoping to edge into the 5s this week.
