Hi Tracy,

I am also a SAHM of a 3 1/2 year old daughter. I have been a lacto-ovo

vegetarian for 6 years. My daughter breastfed until she was 17months old.

Her doctor suggested I take DHA which is Omega 3 fatty acids. Other ways to

get Omega 3 fatty acids is from Flax seeds or Flax seed oil which is

available in a health food store. Omega 3 fatty acids help develop the

brain. They are found primarily in fish. It is important to get enough

calcium. If you don't eat/drink milk products make sure your substitutes

have calcium.

 

When my daughter stopped breastfeeding I tried milk, but she could not

tolerate it, and she could not tolerate Soy milk either. For a while she

drank Calcium fortified Oat milk. I don't know if that was just her or it

had something to do with being vegetarian. My daughter is 3 1/2 and very

smart and healthy. I don't know if any of it is attributed to diet or

not. Rachel

Check out the Feingold Association and related web sites. All kinds of groups

- all over the world - have diets/recipes for all kinds of problems children

have with food allergies and other things. They can tell you what ingredients

are in everything and where to buy specialty items. All kinds of help. Great

advice from experts and parents who've been through the worst. Nice people !

Also, do search for the specific dietary restriction recipes you want on the

Good luck !

Another great list here on is POFAK (Parents Of Food Allergic Kids). I learned more from that list than Feingold, FAN, our doctor and dietitician combined.

Hi Kath

 

I'm not sure what your health problems are, but it does seem unusual for a

doctor to recommend becoming a vegan - at least in Australia I know the

health authorities are still recommending a diet that includes lean meat in

small quantities. Did your doctor give you any guidelines on making such a

major change or just send you off on your own?

 

If the taste and texture of meat is what you are finding hard to give up,

then you may want to try some of the meat substitutes that are available.

You can find anything from mock chicken to seafood - and there is often very

little difference as far as taste etc. You would find these products in

vegetarian stores, or perhaps some chinese or asian grocery stores may carry

them as well.

 

I have noticed a lot of the recipes posted here also use some of these kinds

of products, so you may find something in the archives also.

 

Love Michele

Actually, there is a doctor around where I live who insists all his

patients to a vegan diet. Aside from him, I know another

woman who was basically told by her doctor her body was shot if she

didn't become a vegan - but she got a very good plan for easing into

being a vegan, however.

 

Anyway, I'm very partial to Morning Star Farms fake chicken and pork,

though they contain eggs and milk. :(

Their beef products do not, and I've become happier throwing in the

soy crumbles into spaghetti sauce to give it a little texture. Since

they're frozen and seasoned, you just have to warm up spaghetti sauce

and throw them in. The chicken patties I've microwaved and sliced to

put into fajitas, or used for sandwiches. It's not rotissery chicken,

but it's pretty tasty. I've seen these in large grocery stores in most

areas. And most everything is microwavable or ready in minutes. :)

 

 

Celia

 

 

PS. has anyone found a veggie substitute for marshmallows? Ever since

I read someoen complaining about animal rights folk not eating

marshmallows I've wanted to find some... not very important. Later.

Hi Celisa

 

Good to hear there are some changes happening in the medical profession

regarding vegan/vegetarian diets. Not sure about the doctor that " insists "

on changing to vegan diet though - I feel it should be a suggestion that the

patient then decides for themselves to take up or not.

 

Like yourself I quite like the fake chicken and pork - over here I am able

to get a really good substitute for chinese bbq pork which I always loved

when I was eating meat. I also use the TVP (fake mince) in spaghetti and

lasagne, and hard to tell the difference.

 

Below is a recipe for mock chicken which I found in my chinese vege cookbook

 

FRIED GLUTEN (Chinese Mock Chicken)

8 cups/1 kg/2 lb plain flour

1 tablespoon salt

500 - 550 ml/18 - 19 fl oz warm water

oil for deep frying

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

 

Preparation

Sift flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and the water gradually

to make a firm dough. Knead until smooth and then cover with a damp cloth

and leave to stand for about 1 hour.

 

Place the dough in a large colander or sieve and run cold water over it

while you press and squeeze the dough with your hands to wash out as much of

the starch as you can. After 10 - 15 minutes of this hard work, you will

end up with about 300 g/ 11 oz gluten. Squeeze off as much water as you can

and then cut the gluten into about 35 - 40 small pieces. These can be

cooked either by deep-frying or boiling (or they can be steamed or baked).

 

Cooking

Heat the oil in a wok or deep-fryer. When hot deep-fry the gluten in

batches - about 6 - 8 at a time - for about 3 minutes or until they turn

golden. Remove and drain.

 

Pour off the excess oil leaving about 1 tablespoon in the wok. Return the

partly cooked gluten to the wok, add salt, sugar and soy sauce, stir and add

a litte water if necessary. Braise for about 2 minutes. Serve hot or cold.

 

OM Shanti

Michele

I understand that the maker of vegan marshmallows no longer is making

them. That is really sad. Too bad someone can't get the recipe and make

then commercially. There is a very big demand and nobody is filling it,

as far as I can find out. Carol

Hi and Welcome....

I, too have been veggie a couple times. It's hard to fight the system with so much meat and meat products, etc., in our faces. I think we become desensitized by the time we are adults. I mean that steak on your plate doesn't really look or smell like a cow now does it? After eating veggie for a while it does help with remembering where it came from and reminds us of all the reasons we are better off doing without meat. I personally feel better and am healthier when I don't eat meat.

To be honest, there are times when I crave a big steak or pork chop, I find that when I do this I often find myself eating everything in my way trying to curb the craving. I have no idea why this happens. When it does, I have found what works for me is to buy a steak or pork chop for my husband and buy it a little bigger than normal and fix it for him. I can take a bite or two and "zap" it cures me again for a while. I wish I were stronger and had more self control but at this point I do not. For the most part I can feel good about my diet. Don't beat yourself up.. do the best that you can. My Mother always told me to do your best and that's all anyone can ask. Cheers, Robin

Believe it or not, Joy of Cooking has a recipe for making your own

marshmallows. I can't say that I've tried it, but if you're ambitious, go

for it. If you don't already own the Joy, it's a wonderful book. I've been

collecting recipes from email and the Web for about two years, and this past

Saturday, when I wanted to make an apple pie, where did I look? Joy of

Cooking (and it came out fabulous).

I don't have a bag in front of me to check, but I'm guessing the gelatin? (which is from cows' hooves, if you didn't know.) come to think of it, the recipe I referred Celia to probably calls for gelatin. sigh.

And I guess that makes this a me-three for newbies. Really looking

forward to reading, and I hope sending a few. After some years of

working at home, when it was possible to make more involved things, I'm

struggling to eat well with a 9-5er again. One thing that helps is what

my husband calls " cooking frenzy " -- cook a lot on weekends and freeze.

 

My second " thing " is that I don't eat soy, as there is some current

thinking that this isn't a good match with hypothyroid. Don't know if

that's true, but...well, I blush to admit I've never mastered the fine

art of making tofu at home <g> so what the heck.

 

Joyous thanksgiving to all, thanks for inviting me to the table,

Hi Carol;

 

Welcome to the exciting world of vegan gluten-free lifestyle!!

:-)

 

As you can have beans, I would suggest that you just replace meat

with bean dishes as a first step, and then see how it goes from

there. And start everyone on a B12 supplement, if you aren't

already taking one.

 

In my experience of almost 20 years, a varied diet of whole plant

foods containing fruit, vegetables, beans and gf grains is a very

enjoyable and health-promoting diet. :-)

 

Deborah

 

 

 

Hi All! I am new to your group. I just joined tonight. I would

like

to give you a little information in hopes of getting a little

help.

I am mom to three boys, one who has celiacs and hates meat. I

have

always hated it myself, but my mom made me eat it anyway. So now,

what do I do. I have mastered the gluten free diet for him (as

mastered as I can) and now to take out meat seems so much harder.

But I would love to do it. One more problem, we cannot have any

peanuts, tree nuts, or legumes in the house, do to my youngest

sons

severe allergies. Beans are fine. And, could someone tell me in

simple words what vegan means. Thanks in advance for not thinking

I

am a dumby (lol).

Hi amy, pleased to meet you - my dh and I live in Canada - we've been

veggie for around 20 years now - actually, it's pretty easy if you're

down to just chicken already - stuff doesn't have much taste anyway, as

I kinda recall :=) Looking forward to chatting with you.

Hi Amy,

welcome to the group. As its new it is still in the process of

emotional and cognitive aspects of slimming and food. I have been a

veggie for 5 months and have made a new years resolution to live

more healthily, including to lose weight.

I wish you and your partner a warm welcome and hope you find the

It's not an all or nothing proposition! You can be any kind of

vegetarian you want. Even if you never elimnate meat completely, you

(and the planet) will be that much healthier every time you choose

not to put meat on your plate.

Welcome Susan!

 

I'm Angela. I've been on the list for awhile, but rarely have time to post.

I'm a 32-yr-old vegetarian (vegan at home, but not always vegan away from

home). My husband is vegetarian, as are my children: a 5-yr-old son and

3-yr-old twin daughters. I've been vegetarian since 1989, when I quit working

for the meat industry.

 

What part of Arizona are you living in? We love the Flagstaff area and go there

as often as we can (which really isn't too often lately because the girls don't

like long car trips!)

 

I never got involved in the recent television debate, but my kids do watch some

tv -- and it's not all commercial free. They are highly aware of the goals of

the advertisers and usually criticize the commercials while they watch them!

They really prefer videos, though.

(We also homeschool and occassionally watch videos as part of a lesson.)

 

I am also interested in hearing how others are coping with raising their veggie

kids in a meat-eating society. We are in Wichita, Kansas...and don't know any

other vegetarians. It seems like not knowing any other vegetarians is more

difficult for me, than for them right now... but I sometimes worry about how

they will feel when they get a little bit older and realize that EVERYONE around

them is consuming animals.
