It has been at least a decade or more, too! Isn't that sad that we eat stuff that preserves us like that? <BR/><BR/>We are pickling ourselves!<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>I also read labels like crazy. That is one reason the JIFF pb in my house is on it's last visit to my shelves. We get natural peanut butter now... but we had three years worth of Jiff for various reasons I'm uncertain of now... and it is taking me forever to go through it because I can't bring myself to eat it after reading the label. Ignorance is sometimes bliss, and then you die! LOL<BR/><BR/>****<BR/><BR/>Jan - that is great about your gluten removal successes. I could USE SOME MORE ENERGY. Sorry for shouting! ;) I got really excited. Maybe I should feed a non-gluten diet to my man, too?!<BR/><BR/>THANKS for the tips on the Silly Yaks yahoo group. ;) Neat!<BR/><BR/>- HeatherSprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14000800.post-52755080847552768142008-02-19T15:24:00.000-04:002008-02-19T15:24:00.000-04:00Great Post!My kids tested positive for celiac; I t...Great Post!<BR/>My kids tested positive for celiac; I tested negative initially, but I still saw a dramatic difference in my well being when I removed gluten. I now feel better & more energized than when I was 18! Hope going GF helps you to feel better too!<BR/>Check out the Silly Yaks yahoo group if you can - they have great ideas, recipes, a huge restaurant guide to help when eating out....<BR/>Jan<BR/>www.homeschoolblogger.com/microblogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14000800.post-50953319854477128442008-02-16T22:25:00.000-04:002008-02-16T22:25:00.000-04:00It sounds like your friend had celiac disease.

Actually, I did try some of the gluten free stuff--the chocolate chip cookies are actually pretty good, LOL!<BR/>I think the biggest change I've made is avoiding store-made cookies and the like. Boy, the stuff they put in that to preserve it must take years off your life. I'm no health food freak (I think Boca Burgers are yucky), but I would say most of my diet is pretty decent. I like my fruits and salads. I'll tell you one thing...I've become a great label reader!<BR/>Good luck with your healthier pursuits this year.Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.com
