Thought I would catch up with all the deprived Mums
I'm still waiting to see the dietician :shock: I think while I'm waiting I'm going to get myself some calcium suplements. I don't think I can be having enough with the little bit of enriched soya milk I have and a few sesame seeds.
I have discovered a couple of other things that are no-nos. Red food dye-
cochineal - the one made from crushed beetles (apparently banned in the U.S.). It made Ruby so hyper; it took me a while to work out what was doing it, but she is usually quite placid so I knew something was up. After talking to my health visitor she said it was the second worst additive after yellow. Also, I was stressing about my milk supply so I got some
fenugreek. What I didn't know was that it comes from the nut family and Ruby reacted quite badly to it. It's so strange to me that she has all these sensitivities as I am allergic to nothing, neither is my partner or my other daughter. I do hope she grows out of it.
I've tried some of the things on the no list again and sweetcorn seems ok - I think you may have been right GraceKellysMum - it was probably the butter I had on it. Had a bit of cheese, then really wished I hadn't - we had 3 days of hell. Unfortunately it was the same week I had fenugreek, so we actually had 7 hellish days altogether :cry: .
One good thing has been to find the "Free From" range in Tesco. I actually had treacle pudding and (soya) custard - wow - it was heavenly!! I can eat feta cheese as it is made from goats milk so that is a bonus, and goats milk is ok for us too.
Does anyone know if you can cook with soya milk like you would cows milk?
Maybe we could swap some ideas for things we can eat?
