Every fekking question I've answered at work today has been wrong. Probably wasted about a million hours of people's time and generally feel like an ass. Ugh.

Going crazy in search of a jacket that fits. Feck being tall and long armed I'm sick of it. Somebody pass me a chainsaw I've got to make a few adjustments.

Why do the producers of chocolate mousse put gelatine in the bloody things?.. Same with quiches…

Found some choc mousse without gelatine though - am currently nomming ::)

[DougNg]

It's a pretty standard binding/thickening agent

You'll also find it in almost all pills. Many candies too. Altoids immediately springs to mind

[Seul]

Yeah I don't do pills or candy for that reason…

Sick of exam revision, feel like my eyes are going to pop. Hoping that IH-UK receives a stock tomorrow and I'll get some new denim this week to cheer me up.

Bah humbug. Sunday night studying.

Reading bottom to top I was expecting to read crazy LSD stories :(.

I have slowly become convinced that gluten is killing me, since going onto the Whole 30 diet I feel like a different guy, much stronger, more energy, more alert. Fuck gluten and fuck processed shit foods (apart from beer).

Nice to see you survived the detox period.  You seemed edgy for a while.

[zhivago]

Mega that's great man. I'm getting ready for primal eating by the end of the week…I'll keep ya posted.

Gluten free here since last summer - love it, in the best shape I've ever been - no thoughts of going back.

[Megatron1505]

Thanks guys, the difference is amazing as I really felt like utter shit most of the time before this. As some of you know I suffered with nerve issues on my left side (numbness and tingling), random headaches and stomach complaints, and even lost my vision once. Doctors considered whether I had MS, I had an MRI scan, blood work, and it all came back clear but the issues just rumbled on.

For the first week of the Whole 30 I felt worse than ever, absolutely awful, then I woke up one morning full of energy, and slowly since my senses and body have improved to the point where I feel almost perfectly fine. I have two weeks to go, and when it ends I do intend to celebrate with a few beers, but from then on I will be gluten free*.

• except in Japan, where I have no idea how to say "is that gluten free?".

[Finn666]

really sounds like something i should try :-\

Pie fillings…jams and jellies...

Paleo lifestyle since 2011. Has made me (fairly healthly previously) better and my aging parents have experienced great benefit from it. Has helped a friend of mine with Crohn's out a lot too.

Food should only benefit you!

[seanocono]

Okay, I'm now really curious about the Paleo diet with all of these enthusiastic endorsements.  I also consider my diet to be pretty healthy, but this sounds like the next step.  If anyone has some good reading material they can easily direct me to, I would really appreciate it.

[Megatron1505]

Rafa, if you ever experience issues with your stomach, digestion, or nerve problems, then giving this a go can only help.

[Finn666]

will keep in mind mate, thanks? not having any of these issues (so far), so I might hold back with trying it…

[summ3rhays]

Snow! In April?

Not cool.
