Alright today wasn't much better on the excitement front. We did have a seminar today. Our patient presented with ankylosing spondylitis. Which is a degenerative disease that affects all the joints in the body but predominately effects the back. It was really cool to see how well he dealt with his condition.
The rest of the day was just studying and preparing for tomorrow.
I did find a fun recipe that I made for Katie. She said it was interesting but I think that it was because she wanted ice cream. So feel free to put ice cream on top.

Blueberry Pudding for One

2 tablespoons rice flour 

1 tablespoon almond meal
2 teaspoons corn flour
2 teaspoons tapioca starch
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
3 teaspoons softened butter, alternative spread, or oil
2 tablespoons milk, lactose free if required
¼ teaspoon vanilla
heaped ¼ cup frozen blueberries
2 teaspoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons water
½ teaspoon corn flour

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.  Rub in butter (if using) with fingertips until mixture looks like breadcrumbs.  Stir in milk and vanilla (and oil if using instead of butter) to form a thick batter.

Combine blueberries, maple syrup, water and cornflour in a large mug.  Heat in microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for another 20 seconds.  Spoon batter over the hot berries and cook on medium-high for 2 minutes.  Stand one minute before enjoying straight from the mug.

This is the website where I found the recipe http://www.lowfodmap.com/blueberry-pudding-one-maybe/  It has a bunch of good healthy foods and specific ideas for dietary concerns.
