Daily Life and Compromising

Noticing some histamine/allergy issues to a few foods today I used to not have. Bit of sniffles and drainage caused by cherry flavored magnesium calm. Funny the orange does not bother me....but I know anything magno or peach flavor does this same thing if natural flavors used. But last time I was on the cherry rotation less then a month ago it did not bother me. Well they are in the same family...as is almond god please no lol.

Tried making a doughish cinnamon cake...I miss that doughy stretchy mess that was monkey bread. I found that if I use a bunch of cinnamon and psyllium husk with a warm liquid I can get a stretchy dough. So I added extra of each to my base coconut bread, Added extra coconut oil for rich buttery ness, extra stevia, and lakanto maple for sweetness. And threw it in the oven...forgot the apple cider vinegar for rise oops. Conclusion from the flat loaf. Needs more oil to make it richer and a bit more liquid. It had the doughy ness but you had to chew it for awhile and let moisten up in you mouth.  >.> I used peices of it in a hot porridge base and let it simmer and it thickens it up great.

I am looking at increasing collagen and MCT intake, this is to boost my keto and body building. I am thinking of using primal kitchen Collagen vanilla. I know when I got samples of it a year ago it had a gluten warning on it but now I see all their products are labeled gluten free.....we shall see. While looking on their site I saw some great coconut amino marinades, they also had avocado mayo...but it had egg yolks in it. Upon this I looked online and found Nuco vegan mayo uses MCT and avocado....OMG PERFECT. I might be looking at that tuna fish sandwich sooner then I thought, just need to wait til after the market ends so I can bring fish in to my kitchen.

I keep rotating foods, but I wish I had more people to cook for. With stores all carrying gluten free items now my chef jobs seem to be less frequent. I have inquired on a few, and have found that one family I was cooking for are turning to family meal packs from companies like Udi and Ians which our stores now carry......I swear..... I want to make so many things and try things but without that extra funding or someone to fix for I am stuck in a rut. Might end up on much more limited diet with the way it is going and not even my bodies fault this time.

I had a fun argument and scare with food stamp office. I casually informed them that my father was having to buy medications for me at the end of the month and sometime foods. Well they contacted me and jumped down my throat. They need him to write a letter and sign it telling them how much he is spending on me and if he is paying the money to me or directly to the vendor. When I inquired as to why.....it seems this is counted as form of income.....WTF?! I have to beg my parents for money for medication and food and they dock my food stamps for it????

Craving wise I was getting cravings for burnt food....obvious sign of carbon deficiency which one normally gets via fruit....which I can not have. So I started using my culinary torch to give a bit of a burnt edge to omelettes, nuts, toast. etc. And this knocked that out.  If only I can satisfy this spicy craving, without any weird hacks lol. I have to eat stuff loaded super sweet with non nutritive sweeteners to off set that craving. Spicy food.....is very bad for my stomach and intestines still. Cinnamon oil is the next best thing, and I use it like crazy. But pepper spicy is still a no >.> I did find one compromise with this, get some of the spice or sauce put a bit on my food and chew it, chew it, chew it then spit it out. Eat the rest of my food while the burn in my mouth is present. Seems some still gets down and causes a bit of indigestion but not as bad as direct consumption.
