Egg transference into ye olde boobies

[rootofnewt]

I spent a bit over a month egg-freef or Ronan.

His eczema totally cleared up. Of course, he was also egg-free. So with a nice, clear baseline, I introduced eggs into my diet. Not even eggy eggs, but baked goods containing egg. I just wanted to see if we had a transfer situation with breastmilk. And, y'know, eggs were an integral part of my diet pre-Ronan's reaction.

You see, Starbucks now has individually wrapped gluten-free orange almond cakes. And they're soy-free.

So I bought one on Friday. It was a lovely novelty, but I really don't care for orange-flavored cakes. Still, kudos to Starbucks for delivering a product with excellent texture.

When I saw no evidence of a reaction on his skin by Sunday, I had a second one. (He did scratch some Saturday, but it might've been sweat. Or sand. Or anything.).

And this evening, I saw his skin flushing. Unmistakable signs of early eczema rash. Plus he was scratching like mad all evening.

So I guess there's no orange cakes in my future (which is okay, again, I just don't care for them). Sadder still, no mayo.

You know I feel for you on this one. There's always next year.

Huh... Something edible at Starcrack that isn't fruit, coffee or trail mix? I shall have to check this out. (orange cake might be more entertainment than I need on a regular basis, but it's nice to find something edible when I'm on travel :-)

Eggless Mock Mayonnaise (from the Joy of Cooking)

Combine in a mixing bowl:
3 tbsp evaporated milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp prepared mustard
a few grains white pepper

Beat in gradually:
1/2 c vegetable oil (I've used olive oil)
then:
3 to 4 tsp lemon juice

Keep covered in refrigerator.

I think it's halfway decent, and I don't *think* there are no-nos in there for you...

THANK YOU. This actually looks far more promising than anything else I've seen, especially since most of them rely on tofu. I'll pick up a can of milk and try it soon. It will also be far cheaper than the hummus-y tapenade sold by WFM. ;)

The JOC is good like that... "real" foods in recipes, per se. This is definitely not mayonnaise, but I personally think it's passable enough. Hope it works for you!
