Hmm, never mind on the almonds/bananas question, then. The baked good recipes I had success with while completely egg free all had bananas. šŸ™ I definitely canā€™t do scrambled eggs or anything like that. I canā€™t even doing baked goods that are primarily eggy like coconut flour based recipes, though Iā€™ve discovered a mild intolerance to coconut, so it might be that rather than the eggsā€¦ I do understand being hesitant to try anything when youā€™ve had negative reactions! Iā€™m too afraid to trial avocados right now. I think I know the issue, and it shouldnā€™t bother me if I eat small portions (like 1/4 avocado), but I havenā€™t tried it yet, because I just donā€™t want to be that sick, and itā€™s just for one day. I canā€™t even imagine reacting for a month. Iā€™m drooling a little over that ricotta recipe. šŸ˜ Thank you for sharing! Hereā€™s a recipe for egg free salmon patties Iā€™ve tried recently that was really good - even my husband, who is pretty selective about substitutions, raved about them. [Salmon patty recipe](https://unboundwellness.com/aip-salmon-patties-paleo-egg-free/) And Iā€™m always looking for mug cake recipes - I think I prefer the texture without eggs.

> [@Jen](#): > > So that is awesome and good motivation to continue despite my blood sugar being so difficult. Wow! Those do sound like good motivations! Go Jen! Iā€™m sorry about the frustrations of excellent diet compliance and unpredictable BG numbers due to hormones. I think that thereā€™s a connection between POTS/ITS and hormones too - at least for my friend there is. And itā€™s frustrating because thereā€™s no changing that hormone thing from the outside that I know of. šŸ™ But it sounds like your hard work is paying off in other ways and some things are easier. Also Iā€™m laughing about chia pudding and your delivery of the line about not loving it. Cracked me up. Is there another easy breakfast that you could add into the mix? It sound like youā€™re doing a great job sticking to your plan! Iā€™m sorry about the hormones but Iā€™m inspired otherwise! ---

So not sure if this will help you guys, but a few years ago I thought I was developing a coconut intolerance. I did some research, and it turns out coconut is a mild laxative. Therefore, lots of people have issues if they eat a lot of it and arenā€™t used to it. Since Iā€™ve learned that and switched over to almond milk, all my problems have gone away even though I still use coconut flour and coconut oil and coconut shreds daily. šŸ™‚ ---

Yes, I think my problem is closer to that. Iā€™ve realized recently that all of my food reactions (that arenā€™t celiac-related) are to high FODMAP foods/portions of foods. I likely will have to do a low FODMAP diet at some point, butā€¦I like garlic too much to try it right now. šŸ™‚ I found almond milk ricotta cheese (Kite Hill brand) at our local salvage store today, and thanks to your post, @Jen, I made a pizza. SO good! Now I have to decide what to use the rest of the cheese forā€¦so many choices, not enough ricotta. šŸ˜† ---

How low carb are you talking, @Jen? I made us some gluten free, vegan pasta tonight that was very high in fiber, making the overall carb count around 20-something grams per serving?? Too high?? I took pictures of the boxes if itā€™s not out of your ballparkā€¦ ---

> [@Pianoplayer7008](#): > > Yes, I think my problem is closer to that. Iā€™ve realized recently that all of my food reactions (that arenā€™t celiac-related) are to high FODMAP foods/portions of foods. Another motivator for me to eat low-carb is that my stomach is much happier. I mean, my stomach was unhappy enough on a regular diet that I was prescribed IBS medicationā€¦ On low-carb, the only time Iā€™ve had tummy troubles was the one day I ate cereal and popcorn. šŸ™‚ Though, on the downside, I feel like thereā€™s something triggering my EOE lately. Nothing major, but having a sore throat, what feels like acid reflux (but isnā€™t), and having to swallow a bunch of times to get food to go down is no fun, so Iā€™d like to figure out what the cause is and hope itā€™s not something like cauliflower. > [@Nickyghaleb](#): > > How low carb are you talking, @Jen? My general rule so far has been that Iā€™m not eating anything made from rice, quinoa, corn, or oats, beans/lentils, fruit, and sugar. Otherwise, I donā€™t really have a limit. Yesterday at dinner I ate 24 g of carbs, but about 16 g of that was fibre. So Iā€™d say 10-15 g of net carbs if I had to guess, but Iā€™m not really counting (I donā€™t use the bolus calculator on my pump, I just bolus what I think I need to monitor and adjust as needed). ---

For now, yes. I doubt Iā€™ll keep this super-low-carb thing up forever, but I really need to lose weight. I do have chickpea flour sitting around here, too. Once I get to my goal weight (a loooong way offā€¦) Iā€™ll eat small amounts of lentils, I think, because they are so convenient. ---

Iā€™m checking labels for youā€¦ or at least Iā€™m keeping you in mind when I check labels. Whichever sounds less weird. I have to tell you youā€™ve got a tough combo. My middle one, the one with ā€œno allergiesā€ šŸ™„, has just been diagnosed with EOE. Weā€™re doing the _2 Elimination_ diet, which knocks out gluten and milk. We were told those are the two most common contributors. He also might have a thing with coconut. Something. Anywayā€¦ Back to looking at the labelsā€¦ ---

You have another child with EOE, too, donā€™t you? ā˜¹ Iā€™ve read that milk and wheat are the top two triggers, followed by egg and soy. I think I may have a few other minor triggers, but I have so many weird and random reactions itā€™s sometimes itā€™s honestly hard to tellā€¦ ---

> [@Nickyghaleb](#): > > Iā€™m checking labels for youā€¦ or at least Iā€™m keeping you in mind when I check labels. Whichever sounds less weird. I have to tell you youā€™ve got a tough combo. By the way, I donā€™t think this is odd at all. I keep an eye out for things for friends of mine also have allergies, and vice versa. Us allergy people have to stick together. I find the hardest part for me is that every single company I contact (or at least the vast majority) respond with something like, ā€œOur product doesnā€™t contain potato, but itā€™s processed in a facility that contains potato, and we donā€™t track potato as an allergen so thereā€™s a chance of cross-contamination.ā€ Then itā€™s basically up to me if I want to eat something with a chance of cross-contamination, which generally youā€™re not supposed to do if you have anaphylactic allergies, or omit entire product lines and most everything processed because potato is so common everywhere. ---

I wonder if it was the same kind of ā€œresearchā€ I was doing (like a quarter of a can of coconut milk a day and a lot of trips to the loo)? šŸ¤£ Although in all seriousness I would buy that in a minute. Also, I havenā€™t tried this, but itā€™s on my list and a few commenters said they made them using flax eggs and it was a success - although they were a bit crumbly.

Ha! Well that makes sense I suppose. Occasionally, it bugs me that I canā€™t do enough research to figure out stuff before it happens. And Iā€™ve had enough moments with stuff that everyone else can use fine, that I canā€™t. So sometimes hands-on research is required (no, seriously, that lotion makes me look like Iā€™ve got a beard made out of bumps, no matter how good itā€™s supposed to be!) But itā€™s good to have a laugh about it once itā€™s resolved I suppose. šŸ™‚šŸ™ƒ ---

Yeah, research or just trial-and-error. šŸ™„ I was just thinking the other day that it boggles my mind how many companies I email about food or products. I mean, Iā€™ve probably emailed a hundred or more over the past year. Crazy when most people may never contact a company in their life. ---
