The month of January ends up so quickly and season of love starts. For this season I have some special recipes for you, today I am sharing with you my first Valentines recipe rosemary garlic shrimp. I hope you will like this rosemary garlic shrimp. For this recipe I use Indian scampi or small lobster you can use any big size shrimp or prawn.


Ingredients:

King prawn/jambo shrimp  3 to 4
Fresh rosemary  or dried  1 tsp
Garlic  paste  1 tsp
Olive oil  1tbsp and 1 tsp
Paprika powder  ¼ th tsp
Lemon juice  ½ tsp
Salt   to taste

Procedure:
Marinate the prawn with fresh rosemary, salt, garlic paste and paprika and 1tbsp of oil for a hour or two. This will help the prawn to incorporate all the flavors. Now heat remaining oil in a skillet and then slightly fry both side in such a way so that the prawn remain soft, juicy and well cooked. Serve it with a dash of lemon juice and fresh coriander.

It is not always recipes that I want to share with my readers and friends, today I want to share with you a guest article from Julia Wisniewski where she point out a serious issue-Fibromyalgia and Gluten Allergy. I hope you will find something helpful from this guest article of Julia.


                                               Fibromyalgia and Gluten Allergy
As scientists are learning more and more about chronic pain syndromes, such as fibromyalgia,
they are discovering a link between some FM symptoms and gluten allergy.

To understand the link between gluten allergy and fibromyalgia we need to outline the symptoms
of each.

Fibromyalgia Symptoms

1. Chronic Pain- this is the most common and defining symptom of FM
2. Numbness or tingling in the extremities
3. Sleep Disturbances – that can lead to the next symptom, which is,
4. Fatigue

Gluten Allergy Symptoms

1. Abdominal pain - the gluten that you are sensitive irritates the bowels and causes pain
2. Fatigue – this is due to the fact that you aren’t absorbing all of your nutrients
3. Joint Pain
4. Weight Loss

Connection
There has been research that shows that diseases of the digestive system, such as irritable
bowel syndrome or the irritation that a gluten allergy produces in the digestive tract, lead to
muscoskeletal disorders. The study linked certain digestive conditions to rheumatic diseases. All of these conditions are linked to each other, and this study proves that people with fibromyalgia should be screened for gluten allergy or even intolerance.

Conclusion
If you are experiencing some or all of these symptoms, you should talk with your doctor about
being tested for a gluten sensitivity or even Celiac Disease. Talk with her or him about slowly
taking gluten out of your diet. Keep a journal about how you feel each day without (or less)
gluten to see if the switch is helping your quality of life. If a gluten-free diet turns out to be the right choice for your lifestyle, try a gluten free bread machine or recipes for comfort foods that you can still enjoy on a restricted diet.
