Food adventures

I've sort of been on a food adventure. Apparently I have a bit of a problem with gluten/wheat. So I've had to cut that out of my diet with so far only good results. I've had Keratosis Pilaris (this link contains more info on the link between Keratosis Pilaris and gluten) which I've battled with for a long time and which also went away very quickly after starting my wheat/gluten free diet. I had started to develop breathing issues and throat swelling issues which led me to see an allergist. I found out at that time I had a wheat allergy however it was a low end one which meant it should not have an affect really. However prior to the appt I'd gone without wheat and noticed an improvement. I tried to start eating it again post appt and found all the symptoms that led to me going in the first place came back. I've gone wheat/gluten free ever since. I'd been getting mouth sores that I attributed to my lupus...those stopped entirely. Breathing difficulties mostly stopped (though I have a high allergy to cottonwood and cedar and it comes back during those) my regular allergy symptoms have not been bothering me daily like they used to. I'd had stomach issues those have pretty much stopped though I'm thinking they may take a bit longer as there is likely long term damage there. Hormonal problems have eased (I won't go into that) anxiety has decreased some. So many things. I just feel better in general. The cravings were bad at first but have lessened and I am still feeling my way around this. I can eat some cereals that are gluten free (I braved it with the reeses puffs because they are made with corn but did notice a slight issue with them ...likely due to the fact that they are made where there is wheat present so in the label it does warn "MAY contain traces of wheat") I eat potato chips and tortilla (corn) chips. I've figured out how to make brownies from Nutella by substituting regular flour with gluten free (I used Bob's red mill oat flour)  I'll post that recipe here in a few. When my family eats at Mcdonalds I order a bunless burger or a chicken bacon ranch salad and a parfait (hold the granola) I don't ask anyone to change how they cook or eat just because I am I just work around it. If the family has something say with noodles or something my hubby may cook the meat and leave some aside for me OR I just fix something else for myself. I use a lot of either canned chicken or chicken breast or fajita strips of beef or pork for lunches. Etc. Again I am still learning. 

 1 jar nutella 2 eggs 8-10 TBspns of oat flour (add til thick as desired) mix well (sprinkle nuts on top if desired or mix in) bake at 350 for about 20 minutes done when fork comes out clean. 

This recipe called originally for regular flour so you can make it with that as well.
