Guest guest Report post Posted March 22, 2001 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.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 30, 2001 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.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 30, 2001 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.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 30, 2001 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.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 1, 2001 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.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 1, 2001 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted October 27, 2002 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). Carol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted November 20, 2003 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.
