Now I'm thinking DD might be reacting to eggs so I'll probably just go back to reading the things I'm sensitive to because I just can't!! It's like I can't win for losing.


I made walnut oatmeal patties for thanksgiving. Plus all the other stuff...

Yum!

It would be so hard to have a lot of allergies! I understand feeling badly about eating the eggs. I got an egg once from a friend who raises birds, and I just couldn't bring myself to eat it. I don't have allergies, though. Anyway, so I don't judge you at all ((hugs)), but I can understand feeling badly about it, and I hope you are able to find an alternative source of nutrition that will be healthy for you and that you feel good about. What nutrients are you needing? Can you eat things like chia seeds, hemp seeds, and spirulina?

Wow, 39 years! So... I'm trying to understand -- do you eat eggs and dairy even if you don't like them?

Oh, that would be scary! I'm so glad there are so many non-egg and non-dairy options these days. What do you like to use for an egg replacer when you bake? Do you have a favorite non-dairy milk you like to use? We like to use rice milk because it has such a mild flavor, and it reminded my kids of breastmilk when they were little. Hemp milk is one of my favorites. And Ripple Milk is, too -- it's pea milk. It boggles my mind how many options there are these days!
