Allergy advice

welbeck

caribou powder might not suit a vegetarian !

😂😂😂

Apologies
They're not easy to catch, either!

We also have something that looks like sugar in the cupboard, but it's coconut sugar apparently, however, some people are allergic to coconut.

carob is ok.
but usually combined with lots of brown sugar . . .

caribou powder might not suit a vegetarian !

NOT CARIBOU!!
I am fed up with autocorrect.

It is Carob powder

crochetcarol I have in my kitchen various packets of caribou powder, bought by DD when she was staying. It is a chocolate substitute but check with your daughter if it is suitable.

As for eggs, yes, an egg allergy can be dangerous.
Banana, apple sauce, avocado can be used instead.

I have reported the nonsense being spouted. However, I doubt it will be deleted.

I've reported it too, as a troll, and on other threads.

crochetcarol please ignore every word of StephanieBrigantine's silly post, unless you want to be banned from seeing your grandchildren because your daughter can't trust you 😳

My grandson has an egg allergy, as did his mum.
She decides what he can safely eat. No-one else.

Well said, V3ra

Stephanie seems to be a new poster intent on causing havoc.

Of course you must acknowledge your GC s allergy to eggs?? Allergies are life threatening and people should NEVER EVER refuse to take them seriously. Stephanie your remarks begger belief !!.what on earth are you thinking of? Fortunately the OP has more sense than to take noice of you. As for the chocolate ban just go with your DDs request , keep the peace at all costs.

I don't mind a bit of mischief, but Stephanie's advice was dangerous. I wonder too, 🤔

Stephanie has a mischievious friend, who is posting on other threads. Exactly same posting style. I wonder ! 🤔

Dearest Carol, refuser of advice
Allergy schmallergy. Back in my day kids ate what they were given, no such thing as an allergy. Definitely hadn’t heard of any allergies before vaccines were invented 🤷‍♀️

But if you’re that determined to pander to your little snowflake then banana works too.
All they best 😃

Bloody hell, what a stupid dangerous post.
You seem sensible OP, so I know you will ignore this advice. I hope you Grandchildren enjoy your cookies.

Weird exchange of posts here, with similar salutations.

Dear StephanieBrigantine8691,

You may think you are amusing, you are not. My son nearly died after eating a peanut for the first time.
At the age of six, during a simple operation, his heart stopped. It turned out he was allergic to the anaesthetic used.

Thank goodness, no-one is taking you seriously.

Stephanie Brigantine is either
the-only-swear-word-not-allowed-on-MN/GN,
or a recruiter for the estrangement boards.
either way, pay no heed.

I completely understand l, at first i was sceptical about the “no chocolate” rule, not that I was going to bypass it, but now I understand the reasoning behind it. And this has actually been very helpful as I have now found many substitute foods and recipes!

Both my boys have an intolerance to milk as I do myself
One guy gets ocular migraine the other eczema flairs
But that is not my point
There is nothing more annoying than someone telling you in front of the kids. That it won’t do them any harm
How do you fancy telling two youngsters that they can’t have the ice cream they have just been offered by their grandma who then thinks it’s funny
I used to make my own dairy free so they knew what it tasted like

Ooo I suspect egg free cakes will be next on my to-bake list ;)

crotchetcarol, there are recipes on internet for egg free cakes and biscuits eg. BBC Food Egg-free sponge cake

Dearest Carol, baker of cookies.
I wouldn’t worry too much about allergies, I think parents these days are far too concerned with what you can/can’t eat and can/can’t say. A bit of egg or chocolate won’t hurt her. If anything it sounds like Alice is just being a prude again. They may be her kids but they are your grandkids.
All the best, Stephanie Brigantine

I suspect you're trolling here, because I can't believe anyone would be so stupid as to write that! An allergy can be life-threatening - no responsible grandparent would want to put the child at risk.

StephanieBrigantine your post is silly and dangerous. Allergies can KILL. The first attempt to give my grandson eggs when weaning him resulted in a visit to A&E. He was covered in an allergic rash and his tiny baby heart was pumping so fast, it was really scary. He didn't choose to be allergic, his body just reacted to egg. Because of this reaction he was tested by the hospital for other food allergies, he was very allergic to nuts. Hopefully the nut ladder treatment will help, he might never be able to eat nuts themselves but the treatment might save his life if he unknowingly eats foods cooked in nut oil.

Just give in and give them what their parents say. It keeps the peace and keeps them healthy.

Haha I had already concluded I will be ignoring her so called “advice” as she clearly just wants to cause mayhem! I will be listening to my daughter as I value my grandchildren very much

Thank you for your input, this has helped me see how my recipe makes my daughter feel! After this one batch of cookies (made with banana and raisins) I will instead ask my daughter for a recipe which satisfies her .
