Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi Deborah, I, too, am a grandmother and became vegetarian for health reasons. I know vegan would be better, but I can't find any suitable substitute for ricatta cheese and I cannot do with out my italian foods. My 16 year old granddaughter is vevetarian, but that only means she subsists on vegetable junk food and not burgers. She practically lives on fries and granola bars. UGH! I look forward to hearing some of your favorite recipies. Katie Deborah Ellis-Bellamy <chefsmom98 wrote: Hello to all, my name is Deborah and I'm a beginning vegetarian.

Eastern Standard Time, Jabbyjabby writes: Hi Judy from LA, Wow, great going there for you and your husband! I have early stages of arthritis, lowgrade asthma, and fibromyalgia too, though my blood pressure is normal. I don't take any kind of prescription medications though, preferring to work with herbal and nutritional healing. It is so rewarding to see the changes that good nutrition make in your health, and certainly worth the effort to keep learning and doing it better. I'm new here too, and just returned to a vegetarian diet after a year of eating meat again. I had been vegetarian for about 2 1/2 years prior to that. During the meat year, I was still eating vegetarian many days, and eating mostly healthy things, but also eating the meat, and unfortunately going on sugar binges, which had to stop! I was getting too sedentary too, so got back to exercising. Anyway, would be happy to share about what I've learned about anti-inflammatory herbs and eating if you're interested, and have found the herb Nettles pretty much has taken care of my lowgrade asthma, while Bee Pollen (from local bees) and Eyebright seem to take care of seasonal allergies that contribute to it, though I still take a child's dose of Benadryl at bedtime so I don't get stuffed up during the night. We all vary though, and if you're on meds, you need to check and be sure there are no conflicts. I look forward to hearing more about what you're doing, since the problems are so similar! <<<Hi, My name is Judy, and I live in Baton Rouge, LA. My husband and I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, along with other physical problems including high blood pressure, asthma, and fibromyalgia. One month ago we started a mostly vegetarian, organic diet, heavy on raw foods, hoping to counteract the effects of the strong medication we have to take. My husband has lost 14 pounds, and I've lost 10, which is good news for our joints. Also, his BP is now normal. We began the diet, hoping it would help boost our immune systems, which is compromised by the meds we have to take for the RA. Having never considered vegetarianism before now, there is a lot I need to learn, if we are going to succeed. We still eat seafood occasionally, but no other meat at all, and it has been surprisingly easy for us. In fact, vegetables now taste better to me than ever before, so I look forward to trying out the recipes on the site.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Barbara Jean, Thanks so much for the great tips----I would love to hear more. My husband has the high BP, but he is calling his doctor this week to see about lowering it and hopes to discontinue it all together soon. I've had the fibro for 17 years and the only med I've ever taken for it is something for sleep disorder. Our goal is to boost our immune systems and get healthy enough to make it without the strong (and expensive) medications entirely. I will do some research to find out if any of the herbal remedies interact with the meds I take. The problem with Rheumatoid arthritis is that the medication is the only thing that will stop the rapid bone erosion. So we've begun this diet in hopes that the RA will go into remission and the bone erosion will stop or slow dramatically. We've reached the point that we're eating about 50% raw daily and 100% organic. My husband exercises daily, and that is something I really need to work on. I never thought I could handle a vegetarian diet, being from the South and growing up eating lots of pork, beef and chicken. But a week or so into it, my tastes totally changed, and I no longer want the meat, and my sweet tooth has gone away, as well. And I've broken my lifelong carbonated soda habit, too, which is a good thing, since that can cause even more bone loss. Thanks for sharing your health tips and herbal remedies. I appreciate any advice you can give me. Judy in Baton Rouge **************Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Deborah and Katie M., I am also a grandmother, and am raising 2 of my grandchildren (7 & 8). I also became vegetarian for health reasons. I feel a lot better since I decided to do this. I try to feed the children vegetarian as much as I can, but they spend time with their mother and grandfather once in a while and I can't control what they feed them. I am enjoying the posts and recipes that I have found. Barb, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hi Steph, sounds like a yummy dinner! Just wanted to inquire if your children are vegetarian? My 14 month-old baby boy is so far vegetarian and I would like to keep it that way. He just adores the Loma Linda veggie franks and the Morning Star sausage patties are his fav. Fortunately for me, he loves all his veggies too, especially legumes. I need some creative recipes that make good finger food though because he would prefer that he feed himself (Mr. Independent!). Be well, Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Is the girlfriend vegan and gluten free or just vegan? If she is not gluten-free, this list may be more restrictive than you need.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 hi aletha, i don't know where you live, but here in nyc there is a vegtarian diner called curly's lunch, and they make only vegan desserts--their red velvet cake would turn a meat eater vegan! so i know what you mean about good vegan baking. i myself am not vegan but an ovolacto vegetarian (eat eggs and milk). i've got burger recipes on my blog that can be made vegan by subbing egg replacer for the egg and soy milk for the dairy milk. maybe your family would like them. i've given them to vegetarians and meat eaters with good success. good luck on your vegan adventure! -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ just posted: a review of italian festa: gluten free vegetarian lasagna with phoneybolognese & homemade garlic bread http://www.wheatlessandmeatless.com/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
