@alaina, Cooking was absolutely one of the things I used to enjoy most, and unfortunately I can't cook many of the things I once was able too. I have to take any shortcut I can, like prewashed spinach, preminced garlic, preshredded cheese, etcetera. I do really miss being able to make elaborate meals for friends and baking like I used to do often, even though I don't eat sugar (always for others ). On a lighter note, the vampires are definitely kept at bay here, I go through sometimes 2 entire jars of pre-minced garlic (that's probably like 40 or 50 cloves)some weeks, lol!!! Garlic helps me so much with breathing issues (asthma) and just my strengthen my immune system so much As far as the gluten free issue, I'm probably 99% gf, I mainly try and avoid wheat. I wish more gf substitutes were healthier, most have very little nutritional value. I'm sure that will improve with time. I just sometimes crave pasta or pizza and give in to the gf substitutes. They turn out yummy I stopped eating sugar except a few treats a year over a decade ago as it just made me feel bad. What are others thoughts regarding sugar and exacerbation of crps symptoms, especially inflammation? |

Instead of buying pre shredded cheese, which is expensive and has additives you don't want, check out a ninja chopper/prep tool. The least expensive model will run in the $25 range.

Has anyone used one of the vegetable pasta gizmos?
I love pasta and if I succumb to my desire for it I buy an import, because the wheat is not hybridized. Meg, I have a water filter under my sink, but it does not remove fluoride or chloramine and unfortunately neither do Pur or Brita. |

Bio, here is another option to consider for removing chloramine from your water: http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-Chl...atcher-Filter#. They are intended for greenhouses and gardeners who are looking at removing the chlorine and/or chloramine from their water before watering their edible plants. Most garden supply stores, hydroponic supply stores, and even some big box hardware stores carry them. I believe they require a waste water discharge though, and I would not use a garden house. If you know someone who has even a small amount of plumbing skill, they are not that difficult to install. Just a thought.

After your comment, I did a lot more research and the high oxalate foods can cause a lot of issues sometimes, even interfering with certain probiotics. I'm going to take it easy on the spinach to see if I feel any different. It is too bad since organic spinach has such a wonderful nutrition profile and everyone including my acupuncturist recommends eating a ton of dark greens. I'll see if I find any changes after backing off Thankfully, onions and mushrooms at least are low in oxalates, as I can't give up all my favorite veggies As far as my computer, it's officially dead. Fortunately I have a smartphone which I can use until I can get a new one |

I have a Berkey Filter for fluoride. Did a fair bit of research on water filtration several years ago. Would highly recommend a Berkey. www.berkeyfilters.com |

I have a favorite book called
"FOODS THAT FIGHT PAIN" By Dr Neal Barnard It is old, from 1998 but I got a lot of good recipes. One favorite which has become a staple is steaming yams and adding pineapple which had bromelain for anti inflammatory effects. His recipe called for 5 yams and 15 ounce can of crushed pineapple. You can add the pineapple to your taste. I get organic pineapple in a can. He also has a quinoa and fruit recipe. I don't stay away from grains...I use a lot of quinoa and chia which are high in protein. Google chia seed pudding recipe. It is raw and you simply add chia seeds to almond milk(I use the non sugar kind) and the chia plump up like tapioca. I add cinnamon and vanilla and eat it all the time as a snack. I drizzle a tiny bit of real maple syrup on it(recently became addicted to Traders Joes Bourbon barrel maple syrup!) You chase to give yourself treats sometimes? Another recipe from a Dr Oz, put some canned pumpkin, a pat of butter, salt and pepper in a small dish and microwave for a about 45 seconds. A quick and nutritious lunch. I also do shots of wheatgrass juice as I can and I juice green veggies like kale, celery, cukes.....etc. I am sure most of you know, supposedly, keeping our bodies alkaline, rather than acidic is supposes to keep our immune function stronger and our bodies less likely to be a Petrie dish for disease. I am no expert, please read up on this theory. My best, D |
