Today it is 261 Days since I started posting my Daily Food Diary. 💓
Today it is also my sister Elaine’s BIRTHDAY!
Speaking of birthday cake… I love cake, I love icing, and I especially love the icing on commercially made cakes. 👍
Unfortunately, I (as well as my daughter and her daughters) cannot eat yeast and commercially baked anything these days is made with powdered egg whites – which are made with yeast.
That is just one of the allergy/ intolerances discoveries that I have made recently.
A few weeks ago, I ate something that should have been perfectly fine. I immediately got seriously bloated and started experiencing violent abdominal cramps. 🙄
I checked the ingredients and the only thing that was slightly questionable was that the product contained palm oil. I decided to keep that in mind.
A couple of days later, daughter Jen messaged me that she was violently ill. She sent me the nutritional label/ingredient list for what she had just eaten…and it noted palm oil.
I have been fine since, but Jen has been checking anything she eats for palm oil (she has several severe food allergies so she is generally extra careful).
She has not been feeling well for some time and been experiencing allergy type issues – but she couldn’t pinpoint the issue.
This morning she messaged me that she happened to notice that the margarine that she has been using for cooking and baking has palm oil in it now.
No doubt, palm oil is becoming as ubiquitous as yeast!
That is the issue I have with a number of professionals – business administrators, doctors, investment counsellors, chefs apparently… They find one thing that works and that becomes the norm for the entire industry – until it turns out that the norm doesn’t work all that well. (At least for some of their customers) 🤦
In the meantime buyer beware, be mindful, be alert…
