Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too?
I feel better today. Not as tired and headachy and my sore throat is getting better.
Right now I’m boiling down some Dr. Pepper to do a gluten test on it. I’ve been really tiired and cranky lately. Might as well check and see if that’s the problem. I’m boiling it down so that I can boil off some of the water so if there is gluten in there it will be easier to detect. I’m up to drinking several Dr. Peppers a day, so even if there’s just a small amourt of gluten, it might be building up and causing problems for me. It’s also very possible that it’s not gluten at all and it’s just the chemical crap and all that sugar in sodas in general. At this point I’m just curious if it’s gluten or not.
Considering the fact that Dr. Pepper has sooo much sugar in it and I’m boiling it, I might just end up with candy. I’m trying to keep the temperature low though. So hopefully I won’t reach hard crack stage or anything like that. We’ll see.
The plan is that once I get the Dr. Pepper boiled down enough I’m going to do an EZ Gluten test. It detects gluten down to 10 ppm (parts per million) and I’m trying to up the sensitivity of the test by concentrating the sample by boiling it down. So if there’s any gluten in there, I’m going to find it.
Or I might end up with a great big piece of Dr. Pepper candy. Which wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world either…
