My Dear Gluten / 英語学習進捗

I really love bread, pasta, and some sweets like cookies. I've always eaten them every day. But I recently realized that the cause of my stomach upset may be gluten. Now I'm struggling with my desire to eat food with gluten.

Since I was a junior high school student, I've been troubled by constipation. This is a chronic problem for me. I thought the cause of constipation was a lack of dietary fiber and vitamins, so I tried eating bananas, yogurt, and various vegetables many times. But my stomach upset didn't get better.

In February of this year, I made cookies and muffins for Valentine's Day. I practiced making them for 3 days and enjoyed tasting them. I ate more gluten than usual. After these days, my constipation problem got worse and I couldn't sleep well because of stomach discomfort. Especially, my neck became itchy. I searched for the cause on the internet and in some books, and finally realized that many people say gluten is one of the reasons for health problems.

After I realized the reason, even though I didn't stop eating pasta and bread, I started to avoid consuming anything that contains gluten for one month. After patiently enduring this, my stomach and skin improved! I was thrilled to finally discover the cause of my stomach troubles, but at the same time, I felt a sense of sadness as my gluten-free life began.

英語学習の行き詰まり

英語学習を始めてから5ヶ月。4月に新しい仕事を始めてから、うまくモチベーションが保てていない。まるまる1ヶ月何もしなかったことも。
この8月はイギリス人と2人で出張に行ったりと、英語を話す機会が多かった。しかし、リスニングとスピーキングがいつまでも苦手と痛感。今後も月に1度英語のミーティングがあるので、少しでも多く聞き取れること、話せることを増やしたい。彼らが何で笑っているのか理解できるようになりたい（切実）！
これまでやってきたオンライン英会話はやる気が薄れてきたので、思い切って別の方法を考えてみる。
