October Update 2018

Issues with my digestion contenue, I had to put off my doctors appointment til sometimes in October as that is when my check comes. In the mean time further evaluations by self. 1. Removing Emulsifiers IE Konjac, Guar Gum, Psyllum Husk, or any kind of binding agent for dinner. This conclusion was reached by the floating fats in vomit were bound to protein powders and other foods consumed. Assuming the floating fats are the issues and breaking them down in the evening being more difficult as ones pancrease and bile production slows throughout the day going into the evening. Removing the emulsifiers should lessen the impact and amounts of floating mass in the stomach no digesting and going rancid. Results....only one mouth full of fats, and no benzors the last 2 nights. To early to judge but I think their might be a corralation between my weakened digestive ablitity from the gluten exposure, digestive enzymes, fats, and the emulsifiers in my foods binding said fats to undigestable fiber and proteins that later go rancid thus triggering the irritation that is causing hte purge at night.

Going away from those issues, and to my business. The farmer market, the burgers where hit and miss. Paleo Burgers IE bun less burgers in lettuce are not a huge seller at the market as my competition and other sellers sell, BBQ sandwiches and BBQ plates...I mean why get a 1/4 angus beef burger when you can get BBQ? Only 3 other true celiacs in town so it was not a huge sell at the market.
The Stir Fry...got rained out and did not try at the market but did a group sampling and am still perfecting the dish.
Breakfast, Moderate hit, Build a bowl with Eggs, Hash browns, Turkey Bacon, and Turkey sausage. I do not use pork...I have 2 friends with lyme disease and pork issues so I keep pork out of my truck/market sells and leave it for catering only. Going to try Beef Chorizo and Eggs next market.
Soup...HUGE HIT, I broke out a 14qt soup kettle and made my mothers squash and chicken soup, everyone loved it. Going with pumpkin curry this next weekend and breakfast.

Other updates with business, I am designing the web site, menu and just got our POS in, banners, and new business cards for the catering.I also nailed a commercial dishwasher worth $3000 for $17 at a auction....going to run a hundred some odd heavy bleach and high temp cycles to clean it out.

Going to another topic, my mother, she is too embarrassed to bring up her 2-4 times of diarrhea a week, bloating, cramping with her doctor about the celiac testing. She also had to have her thyroid killed, gall bladder removed, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis......yeah I am 90% sure she has it.
I am going to spurge and buy her a home testing kit and have her take it.

I put together a Care Package of corn free, gluten free foods for one of our other members but due to finances I told them they would have to pay shipping but all the food was on me. They never got back to me so thinking to change up the contents a bit and do a drawing....NOW do I want to keep the drawing here for celiac.com members or do I want to do it on my business site/instagram? Maybe both, keep the name of my business off the celiac.com side then combing entries and draw from there.....still have to have the winner pay shipping.
