I am allergic to tomatoes and I make a really good pizza. I thought you would be interested in my recipe. I make pizza dough and instead of spreading on tomato sauce, I melt some margarine or butter and spread it over the crust. Then I add whatever toppings I feel like and sprinkle...

I searched your site for an answer to my particular problem, but frankly, have seen or heard of nothing similar. My last three bowel movements (over 3 days) have actually been green. I can't think of anything unusual I have eaten or any changes in my diet that may have caused this. I feel fine...

Hi Thank you for your swift response. I am replying as requested. I was diagnosed with celiac disease a few years ago so I never consume anything with gluten. I eat 25-35 grams of fiber a day (been logging intake for the past few months). I drink plenty of water. Pee is light yellow, no...
