Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hi, I was raised until I was 14 years of age as an ovo-lacto vegetarian. I then ate limited meat for the next 30 years. (when I say limited, I mean a few times a month) Two years ago I had my gallbladder removed and since then cannot seem to get the IBS symptoms that developed to abate. As a result, I have gone back to my roots and thus my vegetarian ways and find that slowly but surely my IBS symptoms are finally abating and again tolerable. I should have done this 20 years ago and I probably wouldn't have had so many health problems -- but hey, we live and learn, right??!!! My question -- I've seen quite a few recipes with parsnips, but have no idea what they are. Are they called another name as well?? I've looked extensively in our grocery stores to no avail, that's why I'm wondering if they are called something else. Any help would be appreciated.
