Random Food Discoveries & Empathy

Empathy: Took a couple weeks off to work on healing me. In my journey of healing and healing discovery, another friend has thyroid issues and headaches. I surely hope sometime soon that all doctors and PA's begin to realize that for many women there is a direct correlation between thyroid issues and migraine headaches.

Another friend of mine had Graves disease and headaches. Yet another friend whose Father passed from thyroid cancer, now has thyroid issues and headaches. I am praying someone, a medical student, a medical researcher, decides to research our thyroid/headache correlations.

Random Food:
Finding tasty gluten free food is much easier now than ever. Also recipes are easier. In fact, I made one of my own on an old favorite. Chocolate Rice Chex Crispy Squares with chocolate icing. So yummy and truly too sweet. You can only eat a little square.

Rice crackers are good. They have alot of flavor without alot of seasoning. Very crispy. Taste great with the buttery flavor and texture of brie cheese or alone.

Hmm. Finally soup without wheat as a thickening agent. So yummy. Great flavor, but too much seasoning for me. Will probably eat it again though.

Have a Happy Healthy Day.

Digestion being Gluten-Free Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Since the first day I started gluten-free. I have notice my food is digesting immediately. My system is also making much more noise. LOL. I am a little afraid to eat in public. I thought maybe it was just because I was eating so many grapes. I have found it is after every meal for about a half hour. The neat thing about this immediate digestion is that my stomach area is not bloated all day like it used to be. I do notice tummy bloat if I eat just a little bit of gluten on accident. For example, you would think beef jerky would be gluten free. apparently not. I ate a little. It tasted delicious. I didn't realize it had any gluten. The next morning I woke up with a funny taste in my mouth and a bloated tummy all day long. I didn't put two and two together until I read the back of the beef jerky packaging. Warning: Contains wheat and soy. My PA (Physician's Assistant) says my headaches will often get worse with major nausea. I am hoping the gluten free...

Flavorful, Spicy Tacos your whole Family will Love

After years of trying to eat together as a GF family, my husband and I sometimes get it right. He decided to make tacos and looked for GF ingredients for me.

Sugar Cravings, Detox and More

So my hubby was selected by his company to be a lead in a certain group which meant he would be traveling for 4 days. Perfect, I thought. I will only eat vegies or fruit, and drink coffee, tea or water. My fav foods are vegies and fruit. I know I need protein so I eat it, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't eat it everyday. I love, vegies, fruit and desert. In fact one of my fav meals is a huge vegie plate and a pint of Hagen Daaz Gelato. So...I decided to do a detox while my hubby was out of town. $72.00 for what I felt was 4 days worth of fruits and vegetables. I did the detox. Only water, coffee or tea. Only vegetables or fruits. No sauces, no sugars, no condiments except herbs and spices. Every day about 3p, I started getting a headache. I would eat a piece of fruit. That wouldn't help. I decided after those 3 days that I am addicted to sugar. So I am now working my way to be sugar free with the exception of fruits. The holidays are proving challenging because of f...
