Yes it does Jari! What comes to my mind is making boiled custard (the drink) with my grandfather. Maybe I could eventually use duck eggs and hemp milk

. Okay trying to not to shed a tear right now.

I did cry at the grocery store this holiday season when I bought my son egg nog, right there in the milk isle. Then I got home and cried again at the diner table when I poured a glass. My family just looked at me (I'm not really emotional ever). My husband tried to figure out how we could make a safe version for me...the pain is real.

SO Delicious had a Coconut Milk Nog, which was also egg free. Maybe something to check out next holiday season.

I tried the almond milk egg nog and it was horrible, didn't taste anything like egg nog and was quite watery.

I've been on a modified Paleo diet for a couple of years. Modified because of weight loss on a pure Paleo diet. I added nuts to boost my calories and apparently all of the nuts I was eating gave me a painful bout of diverticulitis. I had to take an antibiotic, eat a very bland diet and then add fiber. I went off my modified Paleo diet for about 10 days. I was eating beans, tomatoes, GF pasta, white potato etc. For the first time in 5 years I got sick with a very bad cold/flu that lasted 16 miserable days. I'm convinced the combination of the antibiotic and change in diet wrecked my immune system. I'm back on my modified Paleo diet and won't even consider going off it again.

Because of the diverticulitis, I have to have a colonoscopy next month. I'm really anxious to find out if CC is still found. I've been in remission for about 4 years, albeit I was taking budesinide for 2 of those years. My diet is very restricted and that's just fine with me. I allow myself a few "treats" that don't seem to bother my GI tract and I'm satisfied with small pleasures. Anything is better than full blown MC.
