Great post for this time of the year Affy!
Yes, I have lots of foods I cannot eat any longer, due to some health dx conditions and some health dx problems.
Yes, I do miss lots of different foods and drinks often.
That was a good idea mentioned above about bringing a dish, when going somewhere. That does help assure you have at least something you know you will be able to eat when you are there and often find most everything else is something you cannot eat. For the holidays, I am just going to stay at home though, and he and I are going to cook a very basic, simple meal, as he and I both have one of the same health dx. We prepare our food at home, know what we each can have, and do what we need to do, including during any holidays.
I have cheated the past 2 weeks and had some diet soda, Coke Zero and Sprite Zero, which is very, very bad for me, as I am to never again have any carbonated drinks. When I run out, I hope I will be alright. I have given part of it away. There is just so much I can never have any more, due to multiple health reasons, and I get discouraged sometimes. I am and will pay for this!!!
