He he. I know how that feels. I've only been doing this for 3 weeks and yesterday I was SO tempted to have normal bread for lunch. I got as far as buttering it and then I just couldn't do it I REALLY REALLY wanted to but I just couldn't. I don't think anything major is going to happen. I can seem to tolerate a little cheat (like a bit of thickener in sauce) but when I was eating normal bread I'd feel fine until I ate lunch then every day 2 hours after eating I'd get this heavy sore feeling in my belly and feel like rubbish the rest of the afternoon. I don't really get that anymore. I can't tolerate oatmeal at all. One bowl isn't too bad but if I have it 2 days running, well I'm running! I think it probably is a case of all or nothing. Eat normally and if you feel worse then you should probably stick with GF. Just eating small amounts would be like cutting out only one or 2 triggers (yeah, I know, I know, I'm guilty of this). Good luck. I really hope you go okay with it.
