People often ask me - What do you eat?
Instead of making a list of what I eat I try to keep it simple.
So usually I? respond, "I avoid anything with GLUE in it!?!"? They usually look at me like I am crazy. :)
Well, if you think of how glue is made (below) you will see how many foods consist of the same ingredients.
Mix one part flour with one part of water until you get a?thick?glue-like consistency. Add a bit more water if it's too?thick. Mix well with a spoon to get?rid?of all the lumps.??1

Gut:??Food allergies and sensitivities may develop as a result of gut inflammation, along with an array of digestive, skin, and other chronic conditions.?2
