We have been using coconut milk in mild curries, soups, dal, etc. Lots of good fats like someone else said!


We also use quite a lot of quinoa. One of Baby Knomester's favourite snacks is carrot, spinach and quinoa fritters - great finger food. And Baby Knomester also loves risotto.


We just introduced new foods one at a time in case there was any reaction.

I know kids with severe nut alergy that are alergic to coconut (and their oil) as well as sesame etc.


My son has a bit of eczema although I don't know if it is triggered by food. It actually flared up today after being almost gone so I am hoping it was the heat and not food that caused it

The coconut and sesame allergies would be separate to the nut allergy. (My daughter used to have a mild nut allergy which she has now grown out of, but her sesame allergy remains.)


My husbandand daughter have both been suffering badly with their skin in the last few weeks, but it may be worth keeping a food diary to see if your son's flare ups have any link with his diet.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
