As a mum of a 10 week old reflux baby (our 3rd refluxer) I have so much time on my hands. No really I do, essentially I spend a lot of my day with baby in a carrier sleeping or being comforted so I thought this morning that instead of spending that time shopping online (my husband might kill me if he knew how much I shop online) I thought I would start a blog with information I find that might be helpful for other parents of refluxers, recipes as creations. I know there is an abundance of websites out there, there are allergy blogs/websites, there are reflux blogs/websites but I rarely find both. Hopefully even if just 1 or 2 people find my blog and it helps them with a recipe or support then I've achieved something.
This morning it dawned on me that little Miss 10 weeks is allergic to Egg. How do I know? Well I've had egg intermittently since she was born (which would explain the low grade rash on her chest since not long after birth), she's broken out in a horrific rash and unsettledness a couple of times now when I have had concentrated egg (mayonnaise and fried eggs) and our two year old has an allergy to egg so its not outside the realms of possibility. So now in addition to eliminating dairy I need to eliminate egg.
Recently I saw a friends post on Facebook "Just had a gluten free, dairy free meat pie....was actually quite good" this shocked me a little but reminded me how many people think that by eliminating food groups or particular foods that a diet becomes instantly boring or less tasty, which is not true. There are so many alternatives and substitutes on the market AND there are so many wonderful recipes which provide tasty alternatives to old favourites.
So I'm going to share the favourites that I find! I am not a nutritionist/Dietician/Allergist/Paediatrician/Doctor/Nurse, I am simply a mum looking for tasty and healthy(ish) recipes!
