New grandson!! And start of a change of diet journey

Erika had her baby boy 11/15. She did awesome with the delivery and even better, this time there were no blood/platelet transfusions needed!! He is a cutie! Both Christina and I were able to make it over for the delivery. It was wonderful to spend time with both my girls!! The weather at the coast was perfect when I visited Christina's field. She's in the north coast area. Then I was able to spend a couple of days with Erika and Jameson. 💖

Also, I visited a doctor to go over test results for food issues. I'm completely off Banana's, Dairy, Gluten/Wheat, Garlic, Rice, Kidney Beans and Eggs. This is going to be very interesting. It's a good thing that I tend to cook from scratch anyway but it takes the package gluten free meals off the table since almost all of them contain dairy. And I LOVE cooking with garlic but that one was off the charts bad. She's thinking that might get a bit better as we get things into line. Also, test show my liver is very unhappy, most likely because those things I've listed are things that cause inflammation in my body. An interesting note is that she is thinking this also may be why my ears ring. They've had ringing in them for years and years but it'd sure be nice if that was resolved!! So today I went to Fred Meyer after gospel meeting and found some vegan mayo that taste pretty good. Mayonnaise has egg in it so I can't use what I have. Also found some egg substitute that's made from chia seed and garbanzo beans and nutritional yeast that can be sprinkled on things in place of cheese. Then there's a replacement for feta cheese that actually is pretty good. That's as far as I got today. Sure am bummed about the garlic though! :(

It's also amazing what eggs are in... Imitation crab has soy and eggs! Guess I'll have to use real crab! ;)
