I really can't blame anyone for not wanting to go on the GF diet. Especially anyone who's older and still functional. What's a little Imodium now and then if it means you can eat what you want and enjoy going out to eat with all your friends ? I'd give up my diet in a heartbeat IF I wasn't risking my life ... This seizure taught me that ...

Part of the problem could be that they can't see themselves as needing to go gf either. I've been very sick and disabled since 1990, so their impression of a celiac is me ... and they also see that the GF diet didn't cure my illness.

Granted, they are VERY careful about eating any gluten around me ... ... I try to be nice and allow it in my house but they won't bring it in ...

Hopefully, they'll learn more about this as time goes on and try it for whatever ailments they have ...

I was into sprouting but gave it up cause I kept getting mold in mine. Any ideas ? I'm thinking that I really needed to clean the containers a lot better ... I grow Kombucha and can tell you that this stuff is hard to kill ... Granted it's bacteria + yeast and not mold but I would imagine mold can be just as resilant.

I'm feeling a little shakey today so I'm trying to take it easy ... it's amazing how one HUGE seizure can scare the crap out of you ...

I started taking .5 mg of Klonopin for sleep two nights ago and it's working great ... but ... I wonder if it's making me feel this way ?
