I Scream & You Scream , & Tiger Screams Because Of Ice Cream.

This is a food post people.
Food the never ending story, battle, struggle, problem.
It's July and it is HOT. Time for some ice cream

HOLD UP!!

We can't just go get an ice cream.
Why??  Because a lot of ice cream is not actually ice cream :(
It's a frozen dessert,
It's modified milk ingredients
It's every kind of fake sugar and preservative and chemical shite you can name.

Poor Tigerlily can't eat DQ, MC D's soft serve, a frosty or most ice creams, frozen desserts and treats.
I don't know what chemical they are using, or if it is just the modified milk ingredients or what, but something in the frozen desserts out there is not good for my baby girl. She suffers manic fits after the bad stuff, and I say suffers because she the wild movements and flailing always result in injury. The stuff interferes with her sleep which makes the next day a bad day and usually involves more injuries.

The doc chalks it up to chemical sensitivities and the solution of course is to not let her eat the stuff.
So we search out the good stuff, Canadian stuff, Chapmans, Kawartha Dairy etc. The stuff where you read Cream as the first ingredient in ice cream.

But it sucks. I feel terrible denying the little one the bright coloured rocket popsicle she so desperately wants, the bright pink ice cream with sprinkles, the funny yogourt pop shaped like a ghost.

& sometimes I just give in. I don't want her to feel deprived.
I don't want her to remember her childhood as a series of Sorry Tiger you can't have that.


Yesterday I let her have some of Gramma's ice cream. & it was ice cream Gramma knows the deal but it also had modified milk ingredients, & some modified sugars.
Which seriously modified Tigers' behavior and sleep.

It's 9 am and she's still in bed, because she was up most of the night.

Maybe Tiger n I will make ice cream in a bag today so I'll know exactly what's in it.
