I mention this has he had managed to treat a stomach ulcer successfully by moderating his diet for nearly two years.  It&#8217;s never come back but since the ulcer, his stomach hasn&#8217;t really felt right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now his work deal was a (controversial) IgG test looking at what you may be reacting to in your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results duly came back stating that my beloved might benefit by giving cow&#8217;s milk, lemon, and eggs a miss and yeast was also in the &#8220;best avoided&#8221; list.  So, Jon is giving it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately most of my recipes collected over the past four years contain these three ingredients!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s start over.  He can eat gluten, just not yeast => soda bread.  Without milk or lemon juice to &#8220;activate&#8221; the sodium bicarbonate.  Tricker but not impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Isn&#8217;t it complicated enough with your thing going on?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life never promises to be uncomplicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you say, cooking from scratch has taught me a great deal about several foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carbohydrate wise, pizza and french dough does not have extra sugar added to get the yeast going.  French dough takes a long time to cure to get a similar rising to &#8220;English&#8221; bread.  Ciabatta has more sugar added than an English loaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pizza dough (used for pizza, garlic bread, and dough balls) takes 45 minutes to rise.  Both french bread and pizza dough needs far less insulin to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pizza is a little awkward because it has a great deal of cheese, typically.  This means it has a really long bolus requirements.  Dough balls don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve had ciabatta a couple of times &#8211; it not only requires a great deal of insulin but its fat content means a longer bolus as well.  Let&#8217;s just say, I avoid it like the plague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soda bread, because it uses <em>weak<\/em> flour, is actually a great bolus pattern.  For the weekend, it might be a great option for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So are you doing the IgG test?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.  I definitely benefit from having breaks from bread every so often, and I get clues when that&#8217;s coming up.  I know about the aspartame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m obviously not allergic to anything.  I think I&#8217;d rather not know&#8230;<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking advantage of a discount and the fall out.
