Daily Life and Compromising

Bit late, in a bit of irony as to recent conversations and a first for this. I recalled today was the day to rotate off flax seed and onto hemp seed. So I opened up a brand new canister of Jarrow Hemp, and loaded a bit into a test kit like I always do. NOW jarrow I have been using for over 6 years even before my celiac DIA. I have been testing it with EZ strips even before the Nima, reason is early dia, I kept having issues and learned the nutiva hemp protein I was using was always contaminated. SO now by paranoid default I test all hemp products. Anyway back to the subject, this time.....it came back positive for gluten.....this has never happened with this brand, I retested.....same thing. 3 stripes positive, Nima says positive.....ok I love this company. SO I sent a nice e-mail to the company telling them of my issue, saying I love them but....this is a bit unacceptable. I asked them to do some testing on their end and perhaps release a statement to fellow consumers and see if I can get a new canister of uncontaminated hemp.  ....this leaves me with a total stock of 3lbs of contaminated hemp in my house.....unsure what to do with it. SO NOW the only safe source for hemp is GERBS Allergen Friendly foods....really starting to hate these dirty farmers using shared equipment and rotating crops with wheat

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
Now for the rest of my life updates. On August 31st my sister had a baby boy and named him Ezra, so I am now a uncle (we are both adopted so no chance of any of my genetic defects).

My bakery has started doing a chopped and vegan version of Thai Fried Icecream and we are chopping in Enjoy Life cookies into the icecream as a option. The catering and markets are slow but it is gaining interest. On another note the Almond butter sales have dipped so bad now days I have not had to make any in 2 weeks -__- very depressing.  My dream of the food truck is still at a standstill for the gluten free/grain free one.

I am working on selling one of my recipes to a bakery in California, they will be marketing it and shipping it if the trial goes well with it.

I have gotten a spice company called Big AXE Spice to take up one of my spice blends the "Vegan Chili & Cheese" one. They are looking into starting production of it soon and it will be available on Amazon. They specialize in salt free VERY flavorful spices and gluten free.
