Yesterday
B: large mug of coffee with almond milk and double cream
L: sweet Chaffee with butter
D: 4 fried eggs with Wensleydale cheese crumbled on the top. Raspberries with yogurt and chopped nuts.

I’ve bought a waffle maker. I used to make them when I first started keto over 3 years ago but didn’t like the texture as they were floppy (only way to describe them!) But now following a new recipe which adds xanthan gum which crisps them up. I’ve been having them to make a sandwich and yesterday added erythritol to the mix and had them with butter. interested in the recipe? BTW I haven’t got lupin flour so sub’d almond or coconut flour and it works just as well.

Hi @cdpm. I never tire of scrambled eggs. I enjoy them for breakfast on Sundays, when I have a little more time, usually with a tomato and mushrooms.

I expect eggs, cooked any way you like them, make a nourishing meal, especially while your gums are still tender.

Hi @cdpm. Yet, last week's chilli was trouble-free. Baffling isn't it?

I started to consider maybe the issue is in the tomatoes because all the homemade soups have them even the pork ones which bother me leading me to think it's pork too. But I recently had a homemade bean soup with tomatoes but had no problems.
Tomatoes is the only exact same ingredient in all the homemade soups but no issues with the non beef or pork ones. So it's pretty hard to narrow down. Baffling for sure.
 
Tomatoes just made me look up the nightshade family of vegetables. They can cause inflammation apparently. Other veg in the group include potatoes, bell pepper and eggplant (aubergine for us here!)
Do any of these also cause problems? Not that you need to remove any more things from your diet!!

Not so far thankfully.

Didn't really feel well. Did my food shopping and saw a few more of my limited food choices with price increases again.

Evening @cdpm. I can't handle pasta, but enjoy many of our favourite Italian recipes by substituting courgetti (spiralised courgettes).

My body can't handle any foods.
Vegetables or even food that isn't supposed to raise your blood sugar by much. I have to eat things anyway and mostly feel bad.

I never tire of eggs with avocado. Those two seem to be made for each other.
Eggs cooked any way you like them make a nourishing meal.
You're okay with cottage cheese too.
Hang in there. Things will improve.
