Being gluten free sucks when you live in a developing country

@cherokeepatti Thank you, I know and make them but to have my Mother make them again, would be worth every penny!😊🤗💙

@Oster1 Oh yes I understand that. My mother made a simple chicken casserole and she was the only person I knew that made it. I make it a few times and think of her and wish she could make it again for me.

@cherokeepatti Patti, just know that I’m feeling that now. I understand. The tears are running down my face as I write this. I’m very fortunate, thankful and grateful. To have my Mother cook another dish for me, would be the most precious want, that I have. Some may think that I have everything but I will no longer have that. It’s the simpler things in life that only mattered to me anyway. I miss my parents so much and they gave me everything. I most definitely would trade it all, to have them back. I’m sure you feel the same way, with your Mother!
😊🤗💐💙

J/k, some doctors are saying the gluten problem doesn't even exist. The real issue is people eating too much of what they shouldn't be eating in the first place.

@PatKirby dude just give me your address, I'll send you a pack of my vomit and diarrhea next time I had a gluten exposure. You are very welcome.🤗

@PatKirby Wheat products inflame my joints, when i stop eating it that stops. It started about 10 years ago, about the same time Roundup started being used heavily on wheat crops

@cherokeepatti cause it cooks in five minutes and is more nutritious?

@Penny I don’t care if it takes 15 minutes to cook, I have a rice cooker. It’s not like I have to have instant gratification.

@cherokeepatti well, whatever lol its not the same, its something different for me. the way i cook it it tastes good. its worth teh extra buck a box or so for the convenience factor on occasion. it makes cooking those kinds of dishes easy. i use my rice cooker for plain rice or sushi rice.

@MoonlightLullaby thank you❤
Most food from the national cuisine is gluten-free actually. I can buy rice flour and/or corn flour.
Also I didn't know xantham gum is toxic, I was about to order some🤯

@WonderfulOne You're welcome. 😊 Not necessarily toxic, but not very nutritious nor easy on the tummy. 😉

@WonderfulOne you mean before advancements in hygiene and medicines? Lolz gluten.. too funny

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout yeah I mean how many ppl would know that there is such a thing? Also, many of these diseases, syndromes, and allergies have developed in recent years because of the certain way we live. I think we would be dead because of natural selection by now if we lived when medicines were not this advanced. I'm sure I myself would be dead by the age of 5.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout
Yep. Markets must be built and maintained.

@cherokeepatti gluten free brownies are very good but no more be will buy them if they hear that they are gluten free.

@Tastyfrzz I bought gluten free muffins once from the same supplier I buy other gluten free stuff. It was pretty good and I could tell from the texture that it was made with mixed gluten free flour, but I don't know what they put in there (maybe the added flavor), that was not gluten free. Long story short, I lived the next 12 hours of my life in the bathroom that day.😐

@WonderfulOne you might have other allergies too.

@cherokeepatti Thx! Yes I can buy a mixed flour, rice flour and corn flour. I prefer the mix.

@WonderfulOne I’ve bought gluten-free flour mixes and some are good and some not so good especially to make bread like yeast rolls. I have also purchased a lot of different types of individual flours…tapioca (cassava), quinoa, rice flour, brown rice flour, corn meal & arepa corn meal, almond flour, potato starch, coconut flour. Sometimes I mix up muffins or banana bars with the individual flours and kind of make up my own recipes. Tapioca-cheese rolls are a favorite and are baked in muffin tins, can also use tapioca flour and coconut flour mixed to make flatbreads similar to tortillas. I also make 4 inch mini waffles and use them for bread buns for sandwiches.

@smileylovesgaming you simply don't know the pain, dude.😐 It's like they put a thousand knives in every inch of my bowel. Not to mention the diarrhea and vomitting. (You specifically asked for it when you made that comment😊).

@MoonlightLullaby I think part of the problem is the over-the-counter and prescription painkillers and perhaps other drugs are eroding the digestive system, and when you have thinning of the lining of the digestive system it’s easy for tiny holes to allow gluten to escape & get into the body and wreak havoc. My niece was having all kinds of pain at the age of 20 and ended up having surgery and having several inches of her intestines removed because they ballooned out and she couldn’t use the bathroom. She couldn’t eat anything with gluten in it for over a year. And she had been taking Advil painkiller for about a year before she had surgery because of other pain. I can’t even take aspirin without throwing up and that since I was a young child and other foods and drinks I am very sensitive to because they inflame my stomach and digestive system. Both my grandmothers (both born around 1895) also had problems with certain foods including fruits & vegetables that are normally very healthy such as bell peppers, red fruits, watermelon etc. So there is a genetic link most likely.

@DudeistPriest dude you just don't know the pain, it feels like a thousand knives in every inch of my bowel. Also diarrhea and vomiting. We can ignore that it make my stomach bloat like 2 inches.

@WonderfulOne You don’t have to explain to these people who are mocking people for this, you’ve had a diagnosis and that’s good enough. And common sense tells me if I eat something that hurts me later then to avoid eating it.
