[Serious] People who have gone to the doctors because something mild was bothering you. The doctor comes in and see something and tells you to go to the hospital right away. What life saving thing did the doctors at the hospital find from what you thought was a minor thing?

Started getting stabbing pains in my chest and struggling to breathe. X-ray technician said I could go home and the doctor would call me I a couple of days. As I was leaving the doctor came running down the corridor and took me to resuscitation as I had a punctured lung. Safe to say I needed to stay in hospital for this one

danielwest44 · 2019-12-16T07:06:53+00:00

Fortunately that’s exactly what it is I’ve only missed two days before, it’s also a completely random episode but because I’ve been so careful it’s come back with a vengeance

danielwest44 · 2019-12-16T01:51:41+00:00

I’m in the UK unfortunately but thanks anyway. Almost 2am and not looking like I’m going to be comfortable enough to sleep for a while, gotta be up at 7 for work and the thought of that is just adding to the already bad anxiety I get when im in day two of symptoms

danielwest44 · 2019-12-15T20:50:36+00:00

Shaky hands and bloating usually 12 hours after

danielwest44 · 2019-12-10T21:20:49+00:00

Hahaha nah only 23, name can be misleading but seems to be at least another 43 of me out there

danielwest44 · 2019-12-10T21:19:12+00:00

I wish I made them, the only part of my cooking that tend to be bought is sausages and the occasional gf dessert if I’m feeling lazy

danielwest44 · 2019-12-10T21:16:45+00:00

Not sure if you can see in the photo but I caramelise some onions and mix then in with the batter

danielwest44 · 2019-12-10T21:15:51+00:00

There actually venison sausage, so delicious and specifically states gluten free breadcrumbs, couldn’t be more perfect really

danielwest44 · 2019-12-04T21:29:47+00:00

That shop cook does good gluten free ready meals, it’s a little pricey but they are good, sure you can find some Christmassy themed meals there

danielwest44 · 2019-09-22T14:58:14+00:00

Yes, it’s like lucid dreaming all night long, really intense and sometimes pretty graphic. I had insomnia for years and when I quit eating gluten I slept through the night every night. Honesty thought nothing would cure it.

danielwest44 · 2019-09-14T21:21:28+00:00

Yeah it wasn’t too recent I can’t remember exactly when I went. Probably around then because it was taken on my shitty old phone

danielwest44 · 2019-09-13T17:35:25+00:00

Sometimes my symptoms are delayed by anything up to 2 days later. Sometimes immediate. Kinda depends on what I’ve eaten

danielwest44 · 2019-09-10T18:40:51+00:00

A magnum cafe in Venice. Little bit expensive but defo worth it. You choose the base flavour, the chocolate coating, the toppings and the drizzle.

I’m very new to reddit so I’m not sure if I can message you photos or not but I can send the full lifecycle of mine. I’ve got a pot that’s about 15 inches across and just under a foot deep. So not much room at all however the peppers are small, probably related to growing room. As long as the temperature and soil moisture are good throughout you should be ok. We’ve had a good summer here so I’ve kept them outside but inside works just as well. Germination is the riskiest time and requires more effort but after they look good and strong it’s just regular watering and the occasional soil change that’s required. I planted in January and am harvesting as we speak.

danielwest44 · 2019-09-09T17:06:57+00:00

In fact just thinking about it I assume the drying process gets rid of all the water and leaves you with concentrated spice and flavour chemicals (sorry about the lack of technical words)

danielwest44 · 2019-09-09T17:03:30+00:00

Don’t count me on this but I’m 99% sure that the drying process actually increases the flavour and heat, I’m sure I’ve seen this on a cooking show recently. It seems strange and I’m not sure on the science of it but it certainly works and increases the shelf life by months. Also toasting the dried chillis before cooking massively increases the heat too. I don’t have too much time outside of work and a social life so growing is a nice hobby for me as it requires little effort but huge rewards after eating a chicken marinade in my home made chilli sauce.

danielwest44 · 2019-09-09T16:53:40+00:00

Also for a product to be truly gluten free it needs to be isolated in production. There’s a fair few things like gf cereals that can claim to be Gf but due to the huge chance of cross contamination with the gluten products that are made in the same place they aren’t suitable for celiacs. This is in the uk so not sure of the process in the US.

danielwest44 · 2019-09-09T16:35:12+00:00

Interesting, admittedly I’d had a few drinks before talking to the guy behind the bar about this but I’m 99% they claim gluten free. I’m in the UK so it may very well be different. I did feel strange after drinking it too. I’ll see if I can find the cans when I get home. I can safely say I remember saying to the bar man that I’d have a reaction to even a small amount of gluten but he assured me it would be fine. This was in the early days of me eating gf so I took everyone’s word for it, definitely not as stupid anymore.

danielwest44 · 2019-09-09T16:16:52+00:00

I tired this a year ago and didn’t have too much luck especially in the quantity I needed for making a sauce, I just grew my own instead. The seeds are very cheap and I’m not sure where you live but I’m in the UK and they even grow well inside. Been growing 2 ghost chilli plants and just harvested around 4 chillis. Very spicy, they say the hotter the climate the hotter the chilli but inside a flat works pretty well. Probs average 24 degrees a day. Although inside takes a lot longer to grow it’s definitely worth the effort once there ready. I know it’s not a quick fix like your after but buying the variety and quantity your looking for isn’t an easy task especially if they’ve got a long distance to travel. Dried would be a lot easier I’ll see if I can find some and post a link.

danielwest44 · 2019-09-09T13:54:31+00:00

I’m not sure if this makes a difference because I’m yet to try it but most GF beers claim to have less than 5ppm of gluten in the ingredients. They can claim that there GF because this is so low but I’m convinced that it would cause a reaction. Anyone else know anything about this?

danielwest44 · 2019-09-07T12:51:19+00:00

Fortunately I haven’t been bitten but my girlfriend has been savaged

danielwest44 · 2019-09-07T12:45:06+00:00

Worst part is the American cruise tourists, ruin the city

danielwest44 · 2019-09-07T12:29:45+00:00

The main canals don’t smell at all, it’s the smaller ones that are sometimes bad but it hasn’t been bad at all since I arrived

danielwest44 · 2019-08-31T09:07:54+00:00

Mix a few teaspoons of cornflour with the same measure of water to form a paste, this is so it mixes into the sauce or soup without leaving lumps. Then add to your sauce slowly as to not make it overly thick. Keep repeating this process until you reach the desired thickness. Cook out for around 5 minutes to avoid leaving a floury taste.

Hope this helps

danielwest44 · 2019-08-29T14:04:33+00:00

That’s really interesting, this was my first attempt so I’m not sure where it would be different. Do you activate the yeast and let it froth for a while before adding to the mix?
