It looks like I can tolerate 1 year old (aged) cheddar cheese. Does anybody else have a cheese that they like and can eat without causing a fibro flare? Thank you!

Finally had this done. Relieved that cadmium and lead levels are very low (I eat chocolate daily). Have an appointment this Thursday at 3 pm to learn what everything means and will post after. Curious about fibro connections to toxic metals. Is there a question I should be asking?

I am trying to make a cranberry upside-down cake using a sugar-free substitute (erythritol and monk fruit). It tastes okay but has a terrible after-taste from the sweetener. Does anybody have a recommendation of a sweetener to try with NO aftertaste? Thank you.
