<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi list, Guess I am stressed out since I pressed the "send now" key before writing any message. Apologies. Question: Has anyone had problems with heavy cream? All of the brands sold around here (northeast) list cream, less than 0.2% of mono & diglycerides, carrageenan, polysorbate 80, cellulose gum (guar gum) as emulsifiers & stabilizers. I've been experiencing some celiac-like symptoms lately (I added heavy cream to my cake icing), and wondered if the cream was the cause. 2nd question: Has anybody experienced celiac symptoms when going through a particularly stressful period? I've been dealing with aging parent problems over the past couple of months (won't go into details, but it's been pretty bad) and my insides are a mess - cramps, diarrhea, etc. Am also having trouble sleeping. Have been back and forth to CA (my parents live there - I'm in NJ) a couple of times. I'm very careful about my diet (of course travelling is always difficult), but even at home things have been bad. I just wondered if I should attribute my problems to stress and not imagine something else happening internally. I'd appreciate any help on these issues - and will summarize if appropriate. Thanks.
