Quest For Bread part 2

 

I made these Gluten free drop biscuits, and they taste ok but are made with heavy whipping cream, and if I eat one a day I can eat it, the cream is on the OK to eat list but  I must be careful. The heavy whip cream I bought is not pure cream. It has milk. Milk has lactaid.

Recipe HERE I found a zillion to think about HERE

One super easy that I am going to try next. 

A new fly in the ointment appeared the day after I did the swallow test. Heartburn. I have not had heartburn for more than 15 years, I take Omnezeprol daily and never have an issue.

I believe it was caused by the barium foods I ate for the Swallow Test.

I researched and found a list of teas that help digestion.

Ginger is at the top of heartburn; Chamomile is good also.

I forced myself to drink a cup of each after dinner to help with heartburn while sleeping. Ginger is just plain Yucky, and Chamomile taste like rotted rose petals that Beau peed on...

 NOTE! I am a coffee drinker, cut down to 2 per day. 

To make the teas more drinkable, I put one of each in the cup and put Carmel Sweet Drops in it and drink it down, because it does help. A bit of Lactaid Milk in the teas helps the taste. One week of this and I still hate it. But I hate heartburn worse. But wait, there is MORE

Thank you to Ginny from Let Your Light Shine, Ginger Gum is the winner. It works Well. I had to order it from Amazon, could not find locally. 

The good news is this post has been sitting in drafts since Nov 23rd and the heartburn IS NO MORE. YAY... The doctor changed my RX to pantoprazole, and it works great. I take it before my evening meal and GONE is he heartburn...  

Your Mission Today..

 

I have started my food plan using low fodmap foods, as per doctor and research and the shocker is, I found on the NO list the word Coffee!  

You WILL be hearing and seeing FODMAP until it makes you as crazy as it is making me...I may change the blog to fodMAPsnapper!  A link is included in case you don't know how to google . 

😁

I know coffee is a diuretic, but not that it also a laxative. 

 If you have an upset stomach, lay off the coffee and go for Tea.

 If you suffer IBS symptoms, cut the coffee or pay the price.

It is the caffeine not the coffee, I hate decaf coffee.

 NOOOOOOOOOOO I WILL NOT give it up

I chose to change from 4 cups per morning to  2 cups per morning. I have a crushing headache until I drink a few sips of coffee. Yes, it is an addiction. .

I always made a 12 cup pot. I do not want to pour out expensive coffee which means I changed 

to making 6 cups.

Bob's comment was just make the full pot and forget about it.

12 cups of water to 6 spoons of coffee makes a pot full. I used 3 spoons coffee to 6 cups water

 

The photo above is my new fake café au lait

the new 1/2 pot gives 2 mugs for me 2 mugs for Bob and about 3 oz left of coffee.

With my breakfast I dump the left over coffee in my 4 oz of Lactaid milk with a drop of Vanilla Stevia drops 

and call it café au lait.

this is a trick my brain into thinking  I am having a 3rd cup of Java.

One day there was barely enough to get bob's 2nd mug of coffee, and now I want to make 

8 cups...

Your mission if you choose to accept it is this.

If I use 6 spoons coffee to 12 cups water and 3 spoons coffee to 6 cups,

how many spoons should I use in 8 cups of water.

Your second mission, to be done together or alone.

Please tell me what tea to drink that will calm the tummy or the mind or both.

Can/Will you help me?

PS I did get an appointment with a GI Specialist NP but not until October 26th
