We use Hunt's ketchup at our house because it is free of high fructose corn syrup and free of citric acid, also. I does contain "natural flavoring," though, so if you're sensitive to those kind of things you will want to check on that first. Looks delicious!

Wow. It's heartbreaking to look back and think "if I'd only known." And even though you know what your mom's response to the suggestion of a gf diet would most likely be, you still wish you had the chance. I know she would have benefitted from your wonderful gf cooking if she were still with you, dear. I'm so very glad you are doing better. And you are right ... neurological issues can take much longer to heal. IMHO, you probably also need supplementation for those specific issues to heal, and per the guidance of a good healthcare professional. I am so proud of all you've done so far! It can be a tough adustment, especially with doubts and a long road of healing. Hugs, Shirley Hi PattyBoots–I’m sorry you’ve been through so very much personally and with your mom. Wow.

We have been a fan of the great old Boston Butt for many years for BBQ but I've never used these seasonings...I usually load the crock pot with onions and a little garlic or seasoning spice....will certainly have to give this a try! Thanks for always sharing wonderful ideas and great recipes! Sounds delish!

It was diagnosed as "ulcerative colits". Back in the 60s, they'd just chop another piece of your intestines out trying to find SOMETHING to alleviate the misery. She lived with a colostomy bag for over 20 years and then finally had it converted to an "internal colostomy" and had that for ANOTHER 20 years. She lost all her teeth by 18. They removed her gallbladder at 37. She died young, by my standards, anyway, at 67. She had Sjogren's and Reynaud's and very early menopause. I thought I'd escaped it all, with an iron gut and never being sick. Until I hit the "pause o' men". I got the gene test which came back positive for both the DQ2.2 AND DQ2.8 genes (which means a 31x more probability of developing celiac disease and at the very least a predisposition to gluten intolerance). I should have gone GF then, permanently, but was stupid enough to have the tests. The blood tests came back negative, as did the biopsy (though the gastro I went to I will NEVER GO BACK TO), and nobody would listen to me. I've had Hashimoto's for years. Ding, ding, ding. I've been off gluten since the last Thursday of September 2011; it's been a very, very long haul. I am finally, finally starting to feel there's some light at the end of the tunnel. The GI issues that suddenly cropped up have resolved; the neurological issues are very, very, very slow to get better. Sorry if this is long, but, you know, I wish my mom was here so I could get her to at least try GF - although I know in my heart her response would be "Why the @@*#! would I want to @@*! do that? That sounds like it would @@*!! suck!" :) I watched my mother suffer with GI issues my whole life. It was diagnosed as “ulcerative colits”.

Yes, slow cooking is wonderful, especially for pork. I think pork butt and pork rump would be very close, if not equivalent. A pork shoulder will even work. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
