Real Brownies!!

I have mentioned a few times that I've been having symptoms of possible food allergies/sensitivities. I have been on a gluten free diet for close to a year because I think I'm sensitive to wheat and gluten. I'm to the point where I want to find out for sure if I have an allergy. I'd like to know because I think N displays a number of the same symptoms I have. And if I have the allergy he could too. I also want to know for sure if I need to be on this diet because it takes dedication to stick with it! There are several ways you can be tested for food sensitivities/allergies. I am starting with the blood test route. I've had one test so far and am preparing for another blood test. In order for the tests to be accurate, I have to put gluten and wheat back into my diet for two (or more) weeks. This is both exciting and exhausting. I'm super excited to eat some of the foods I've been missing, but it's not exciting because most of the symptoms that indicate that I have food sensitivities are returning. Ick! One of things I've missed are gluten filled desserts. So the other night I made a Ghiradelli brownie box mix (not gluten free). D didn't know I was doing this until he walked through the kitchen. His response was said with great delight, "Are you making "real brownies?!" (as opposed to gluten free). So apparently, not only do "real brownies" taste better, they also smell better. Ha!
