Tatum and I have so much in common. Sadly, I never wanted her to have my microbiome! I finally ordered a stool test for her, and sure enough, she has an overgrowth of candida and way too much negative bacteria. So…..no wonder she feels nauseous daily, lacks any hunger, and often has loose or hard stools. NEVER did I wish this upon her!
Well, she has had to give up gluten and dairy, and with that comes much woe’ing! Oh, woe is me and woe is this and woe is that. Woe Woe Woe to the no no no of almost her whole diet!
Enter ME! Yes, this is my specialty: Take something perhaps unhealthy or “not allowed” and turn it into a masterpiece of deliciousness!
So, daily, we would have ice cream or some cookie, but NOT NOW, she would WOE. Tot, let’s make lemonade out of lemons and make something ok?
Avocado cookies. Wait….WHHHHUUUUUUUUUUT? Yep, they have all delicious ingredients in one morsel of cookieness.
- Avocado
- egg
- cocoa powder
- dark chocolate chunks
- coconut sugar ( I substituted allulose ….supposedly a new alternative to stevia which doesn’t affect the microbiome)
- baking soda.
VOILA!
How do they taste? The batter was way toooooo tasty, so???
They taste even better with coffee. Yes, I give her a bit everyday for fun (foamy coconut/almond milk on top)
Heaven.
Such is life and lessons: Let’s focus on the GOOD; on the YES’s; on the I CAN’s. (and not on the missing tiles) AMEN, SISTER!
We are going to CONQUER these gut issues, girl. I LOVE YOU!
In the meantime, Dr. Ruiz has a P.O.A (plan of attack)
