  • The chocolate avocado cake was a huge success with everyone not just SIL who was very appreciative of our efforts (we also made mayonnaise so that she could eat the coleslaw) :) I did freak out a bit on Friday evening when I found out that my nephew now reacts to avocado (projectile vomiting) and banana (rash) :( but it only seems to be when he eats them directly not via her.

    :T:T:T

    I had not heard of banana/avocado, allergy/intolerance - I've just looked it up - and I've learnt something. Thank you.

  • Yay to successful cake, boo to new foods making nephew poorly.

    Do they think he will grow out of the intolerances? Poor thing.

    Fab news that the cake went down well :)

    Pulled pork and cake for all meals going forward sounds perfectly reasonable to me! :D

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    *fingers crossed*

    He had a lot of oral/IV antibiotics when he was a couple of months of old so hopefully, once his gut microbiome has had a chance to recover, he will grow out of at least some of them.

    Hi MWC

    Just catching up...you've been busy! Was the chocolate avocado cake a vegan one? Seen a recipe and would like to try it out - glad it was a success.

    Was worn out reading your lists, to be fair mine are about the same, but I seem to be on go slow since I left work!

    Catch up soon.

  • Hi MCI :wave:

    Yes, it was vegan but it also needed to be gluten-free, soy-free and nut-free!
