We survived Christmas on GAPS mostly because we didn’t have any Christmas dinners and parties 🙂 Well, I did have one with my friends. It was a lunch gathering and I brought my food along.
But Chinese New Year is a different ballgame altogether. There will be many visits and lunches and dinners out. Oh me, oh my!
Eating at my parents or in-laws place is easier since I can tell them what to cook. But those home visits where everyone will be stuffing their faces with bak kwa, pineapple tarts, love letters……ooh!
Last year although we couldn’t eat any of these tidbits, dd could actually indulge in the sweet red date longan tea or soft drinks. This year? Nope. No sugar. Sugar feeds candida.
But actually what makes the whole thing harder is answering all the questions people ask you about your skin and your diet.
Now didn’t they say that what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger? 😀
