20. I have no problem with spices

thank goodness! I LOVE spicy food! I don't think I could cook without hot chili powder, cumin, Louisiana Hot Sauce, and red pepper flakes! (LOL) I've always loved spicy food, and lived 20 years in South Texas. Brought the cooking I learned back to the Midwest with me. Really started to get into it because of the Curcumen, to try to help keep inflammation levels down. I've got Fibro and Lupus, and inflammation is always off the scale.

I was lucky... no polyps. I just have a very narrow esophagus, and will choke on just about anything, including medicine pills. I can do capsules okay, but tablets just aren't going to go down my gullet. I've made it a note on my med list so that's all I'm prescribed now... that, and no child-proof lids on bottles!
