You should talk to your medical doctors about it. It goes with autoimmune conditions.

I kept looking around the house and making sure my kids could not see me. <br /><br />I've made healthy homemade Nutella with hazelnuts before and it's really yummy. Nuts have been giving me trouble, so I thought a nut-free version would a fun idea. But do try with the hazelnuts too if you get a chance. I'm pretty sure Tessa has a recipe on her site.<br /><br />Sorry to hear the winter brings you pain. Have you been doing well lately? I hope you enjoyed your trip and had a great time connecting with friends. The worst season change for me is winter to spring. Allergies always tax my immune system and I usually get a lupus flare in my lungs/heart. I had a flare up in June. Not fun! But I know what to do so it doesn't get too out of control. I have noticed in the winter the tips of my fingers get numb (and sort of blue) when it just gets cold. But it doesn't happen all the time. I just actually came off of a Crohn's flare up (that started two weeks ago). It's under control now. I was going through some stress and then my hormones changed (I experience symptoms around ovulation and menses), so things are calming down. I haven't had a CD flare in a while.<br /><br />But all is good now. Getting better. Feeling stronger. Kids are happy doing some play dough as I check my email here and make dinner. Can't complain :-)<br /><br />Have a great week. <br /><br />xo,<br />--amber Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15348271370539448645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434421162297785263.post-58067068890422142482013-08-27T16:59:02.114-07:002013-08-27T16:59:02.114-07:00Indeed, Gabby...indeed. :-)Indeed, Gabby...indeed. :-)Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15348271370539448645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434421162297785263.post-23675687475694402342013-08-27T16:58:45.836-07:002013-08-27T16:58:45.836-07:00Hi Vicky,

My tummy just can't do nuts these days.

Do you think I could get away with pulling a Winnie the Pooh? :) <br /><br />I hope you are feeling well! Does the changing of seasons seem to bother you? Every year as summer changes to fall/winter I seem to struggle. Nothing major yet, but I'm definitely more achy than normal. <br /><br />I hope you guys are doing well. <br />xoxo,<br />MMegan Anchetahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12192021347573744425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434421162297785263.post-85917901100232233702013-08-26T19:18:48.268-07:002013-08-26T19:18:48.268-07:00I recently did a homemade Nutella too, great minds...I recently did a homemade Nutella too, great minds think alike ;) I love that yours is nut-free!

The toast in the pic looks so good with it spread on, but I'm thinking it would be great spread on pears or apples....<br /><br />This would be a great snack I would feel good about giving to my kids. <br /><br />You've done it again!
