Canker Sores And Hydrogenated Oils

For years I ate peanut butter like it was the bread of life and suffered miserably from mouth ulcers and bleeding from the colon at one time.

Out of trial and error I stopped eating peanut butter that is only made with hydrogenated oils and Whalah! the mouth ulcers stopped.

I can still eat peanut butter but it has to be organic or just made out of peanuts. I have since just about eliminated all the hydrogenated oils from my diet and I feel much much better.

Be careful what kind of fuel you put into the engine ....
Hope this helps

Oils

This section covers oils of all types, how they affect allergies and how they affect health.

Oils are probably the most misunderstood food in our diet.

While many people eat too much unhealthy fat, they are actually starving themselves of healthy and necessary oils.

What's the difference?

Processed fats and oils, especially hydrogenated and trans-fats, are extremely unhealthy.

Meanwhile, we need healthy oils, such as omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 as a basic requirement of life.

Yeast in Chocolate

Does chocolate contain yeast?

Answer: yes and no, it depends.

The short answer is that chocolate, the ingredient and the bulk of high-quality chocolate bars, does not contain yeast.

However, some chocolate bars may contain yeast.

The main culprit is maltose and other similar ingredients. Maltose is a fermented product, usually made from barley. Fermentation in this case involves yeast.

Cardiomyopathy and Gluten

Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition where the heart muscle becomes inflamed and the heart does not pump properly.

There is a little-known connection between cardiomyopathy and gluten. It is called celiac disease. While not the cause in the majority of cardiomyopathy cases, gluten and celiac disease is a significant cause of cardiomyopathy.

There are three types of cardiomyopathy: dilated, hypertrophic and restrictive.

Cardiomyopathy can be caused by infection. It can also be caused by autoimmune disorders. In the second case it is called myocarditis.

Sulfites and Allergies - two new articles

There are now two new articles on this site about sulfites.

We were getting a lot of questions about sulfites, especially related to wine, so we now have more information.

One article is a general discussion of sulfites.

The other article has a long list of foods that contain sulfites.

Sulfites are in many foods. I had no idea until I started researching this subject.

This makes diagnosing a sulfites allergy tricky.

Gluten-Free Product Review: PatsyPie Peanut Butter Cookies

Like other PatsyPie products, their gluten-free peanut butter cookies are good. Like their other products, they are tasty, have a nice texture, and are not too sweat.

This flavor produces a lot of crumbs when you eat it, so it is not a cookie for all occasions.

It is more salty than their other flavors, almost (but not quite) too salty.

They are not too sweet - which is a big plus. They seem to use quality ingredients over all.

Gluten-Free Product Review: PatsyPie Chocolate Chip Biscotti

PatsyPie makes some excellent gluten-free cookies. I've not had a chance to review them all yet; this is the first, and several other reviews will be coming soon.

I like their biscotti recipe. When combined with the chocolate chips that they use, it is not as good as it could be. Good but not great.

They are not too sweet - which is a big plus. They seem to use quality ingredients over all.

For one thing, I think the quality of the chocolate they use could be improved. That would make a big difference.

Feeling Icky - Could It Be Allergies?

Do you feel "icky" all the time?

"Feeling icky" could mean a number of things. Let's summarize it like this - feeling tired most or all of the time, experiencing brain fog (hard to think and concentrate), feeling indecisive, depressed, lethargic, unmotivated, half-asleep, insomnia, upset stomach, poor appetite, etc.

To be clear, I'm not talking about just one of those feelings. I'm talking about several, most or all of those feelings, and maybe more besides.

There could be a number of causes for this general feeling of being "off colour":
