[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently came back from my first vacation in Europe in years and while I can maybe chalk up the five pounds of weight loss in a week to all the walking, my decades long companion, heartburn, was curiously absent despite eating many foods that trigger heartburn and gastro pain and having late meals. There absolutely is something different about food in Europe. [/quote]

I wonder if its the seed oil theory? Canola, soybean oil in so much food here? And in Europe they cook with butter?[/quote]

I mean, maybe? I was in an olive oil area and I didn’t eat all my foods at high end restaurants, i.e., they might have used cheaper seed oils. Also I cook 5 nights out of 7 from scratch (modern scratch, so I use store bought stock and canned tomatoes)

[quote=Anonymous]Could you have some gluten sensitivity? In most European countries, they use soft wheat which has significantly lower gluten. That’s why some people with gluten problems here can eat bread and pasta in Europe.[/quote]
I kind of wondered about this.

To both of your theories, I don’t know how I’d ever be able to test this out. Just saying that OP is on to something.[/quote]
