Hello ,
This photo of my daughter Erin and me makes me so happy, I just had to leave it in another week.
Merry, Merry!
We are celebrating the holidays quietly this year, hanging around home and inviting our Virginia daughters and their families to a small celebration on the 26th. We also have daughters in New Jersey and Wisconsin who we will not be able to physically visit this year. But we plan to connect on Zoom or FaceTime with them. What's your plan?
Allergies, Sensitivities & Intolerances
This week I'm including a link to an article about lactose intolerance. It points out the symptoms, how to test for it, and what you can do about it. Read "Am I Lactose Intolerant?"
Recipe Reprise
Since yesterday was National Fried Shrimp Day, I'm giving you a healthier version that you might enjoy as an appetizer for the holidays, Coconut Shrimp. (Scroll down for the recipe and picture.) It's gluten free and truly
scrumptious! In fact, it's so good, I included it in my cookbook.
Grateful Every Day
Thank you, readers, for your dedication and support. Scroll down for my gift to you.
May you have a wonderful, safe, healthy and blessed holiday, whatever tradition you follow. What are you doing on these special days?
Until next week...
Be happy,
Lois
P.S. I'd love to hear from you. You can simply reply to this email. I personally answer all my email messages from readers.

Why Do You Need This Book?
If you hurt and don't know why, or you have symptoms you wonder about, this book may help you figure out what's wrong. It's a terrific tool to keep track of your meals, health, medications, blood sugar readings, blood pressure and more. And you can show it to your healthcare professional if you need more help.
Pick up It Ain't Just The Diet Food Journal (larger size) on Amazon (affiliate link).
Of course, you can still get the smaller size Food Journal on Amazon (affiliate link), too. I love both of them, but the smaller size is so easy to carry around.
P.S. The fillable PDF It Ain't Just the Diet FOOD JOURNAL (that you can download and fill in right on your computer or phone) will be available in December. Watch for the announcement soon.

Should You Give Up Dairy?
Only you can decide if dairy is a problem for you. I know it is for me! Dairy really makes my joints and gut hurt. It can cause lots of other crazy symptoms. This article lists many of the symptoms that can be caused by milk, cheese, and other dairy.
