Yea! Lainey! Glad you are enjoying the L'equip. I use it often with

nuts. I haven't tried seeds but I'm sure it could handle them. It

makes super smooth cashew dips and gravies.

Even if the color changes on your green smoothie, it's still green if

it has greens in it.

The L'equip makes a smooth smoothie. :-) I have pureed apples,

cucumbers, kale, spinach, papaya, mangos, parsley, mustard

greens . . . . still experimenting. I have not tried nuts or seeds

yet.

Hi John:

Welcome to our group. You'll find a lot of great recipes and friendships

here.

Welcome in. Please browse our recipe files, I'm sure you will find plenty of

recipes to try.

Meat takes a long time to digest, why don't you try going without it

completely and see if you feel better, so far you did discover you feel better

with stir fried veggies and rice. It's always best to check with your doctor to

make sure there isn't something going on that needs treated since we can't

really diagnose or give medical advice in here.

Enjoy the group,

Donna

Hi John,

I've noticed the same thing about meat. My dd and I went 2 weeks w/ no

meat and I was amazed that all the abdominal pain I always had after

eating was suddenly gone!! I " fell of the wagon " for about a month,

but we're jumping right back on again. When started eating meat again

the pains came back and the weight I lost came back also, lol.

Obviously, I'm back to no meat at all again, I have so much more

energy when there's no meat in my system!

Anyhow, Welcome!

Scott-

I agree with your niece. Less then 5% of GI's see anything in the intestine.

That is what my husbands GI told him. In fact my husband was the only patient

in his practice of over 15 years that he actually could see any damage. And he

turned my husband away because he was over weight and he did not believe a

celiac could be overweight. But I pushed for a biopsy to be done, and I was

right! Our GI appolgized and said he was glad he did it, because he had never

seen damage before.

I would defentaly say you are having problems. Some of my husbands and sons

symptoms were tummy aches, DH, Diahrea or constipation, Crankyness, fatigue. I

am sure there are more, but those are a few I can remember.

Intro

Hello,

I'm Scott. I've been vegan for 8 years, and I believe I have a Wheat

and Soy allergy. I've been struggling with the doctors to determine

the cause of my problems.

About 8 weeks ago, after attending my son's 2nd birthday party, where

I ate a lot of white flour pizza with vegan cheese (Vegan Gourmet) to

be exact. I began sick with an terrible taste in my mouth and an

extremely foul smelling belch (hopefully nobody was eating while

reading this message.) I noticed some pain in my stomach that got

progressively worse. My stomach hurt for 2-3 more weeks, and I lost

about 15 lbs. I lost the weight because I just didn't want to eat and

experience more pain, even though I was definitely hungry.

I had a Cat Scan done (showed nothing major that could be causing my

stomach pain. My blood results looked fine (only questionable numbers

were my Eosinophil count (504), and Eosinophil % (12), but the doc

felt there was no reason for concern. I went to a GI doc, and he did

an Endoscopy. He didn't see anything, so no Biopsy was done. I have

a niece that has Celiac's, and she felt he made a mistake, because her

doc didn't see anything either, until he did a biopsy.

9 days ago, I had some pizza with Soy and Wheat, and within an hour, I

began to sneeze a lot, noticed my nose and throat filling up with

mucous. The next day, my stomach pains were back. I then gave up

Wheat and Soy again for another 5 days, and tried Soy only this time.

Within an hour, I was sneezing, albeit, a lot less this time. The

next day, I had mild stomach pains for a short time.

So, I'm back to avoiding Wheat & Soy Foods, and so far feel pretty

good. I'm hoping to get an official diagnosis soon, so I know exactly

what is wrong.

I'd like to share some recipes and hear what symptoms and issues

everyone else is having.

Yah, exactly. I've heard that it still only occassional GI doc's who know

enough about celiac. Maybe finding one in your area that has successfully

dianosed celiac in other cases, would be a good idea.

Also, as an alternative, I've heard that the stool test is very reliable without

being invasive.

Sounds like you are onto the right track for sure! :-) Congratulations!

Thanks for sharing! You are reminding me to wonder about the soy issue. I've

been avoiding wheat/gluten foods for years, but paid little attention to the

potential for soy to be a problem. I've tended to avoid soy generally anyway,

but that's pretty sketchy since when I do have some (like gf soy sauce or some

tofu in a stir fry) I'm wondering if it's causing me problems.

It's time for me to get serious about that...

Hi Deborah,

Even though I might have issues with Soy, I do not

believe most of the nonsense that is spewed about Soy.

My biggest problem with Soy, is that it's a refined

food and refined foods are not healthy. My wife eats

soy and doesn't have any problems with it, but she

doesn't eat a lot of it because she prefers to eat

only whole foods. She'd also avoid soy if she had

allergies, but those are the only two reasons she'd

avoid it.

Hi everyone. I've been around a bit, getting a feel for the group, (and what

a group!) and thought it was time I introduced myself.

I'm Susan, 34 years old, and married for 12 years to my high school

sweetheart. We went veg together about 3 1/2 years ago. We are both in the

health care field (me-cytotechnologist, he--clinical pharmacist) or at least

for my part I should say I 'was' because I haven't been practicing for the

past 8 years, since we decided to leave the big city and move back home to

the country.

We don't have any kids yet, but we do have 3 cats (2 who spend their days

lazing on the deck, and 1 who spends her time prowling around in the pasture

behind our yard.) We also have 2 dogs (Max--lab mix and Macy--boxer mix) who

think they own the couch.

I plan to be active on the list, so I'm just going to jump right in and make

myself at home!

Just wanted to say a quick hello. I joined the list a few days ago but

haven't been online much due to work (boo) so now have about 150 emails to

catch up on, but I will get through them :-).

Anyway I am Carolyn from Liverpool England, strict vegetarian for about 15

years, aspiring to veganism, and I have tried it but fell back into

ovo-lacto after about three months of struggle. I am a moral vegetarian and

love all animals, and my bosses are two kitties - Ziggy a 17 year old

insulin dependent diabetic (if anyone had told me 10 years ago I would be

giving a cat twice daily insulin injections I would have laughed), and

Dusty, a 4 year old alien (but a very cute one) in feline clothing who

arrived as a completely feral stray kitten, my first experience of taming a

feral cat, took me almost three months but sooooooooooooooo worth it.

I look forward to being part of the group and chatting and sharing recipes

with other veggies, as sadly I know very few in " real life " .

Hi Steph and welcome to our group.

That cooking class sounds great, and please do share some of the recipes when

you can. We're always all looking for good lower cal meals to make! I'd love

to take a class like that. I really like cooking, most of the time, and like

experimenting with new dishes.

That's nice that you share the responsibility with your husband. I do most of

the cooking in our house but my partner helps prep and clean up, so that's just

as good!

We've been doing Weight Watchers to help us slim down and so far it seems to

be working ok.

Welcome, Dot! Good for you for wanting to add more veggies into your diet.

They are such scrumptious things and so many ways of cooking them,

seasoning them, mixing them, that it could become a life-long hobby just

trying to keep up with new ideas And you never know, you might get to

love them best of all. (And, oh yeah, they are good for you too, they say )

Well, there's more to improving health and losing weight than just adding

veggies to the diet, but it IS a good start - and we can help you I'm sure.

And you have great motivation for improving your health with your current

lifestyle.

Now, tell you what: Have a look through our Files on the homepage and see

what kinds of Recipes there are there. Then, when you have had a little look,

ask anything you need to about making this great change.

Lovely to have you aboard. Post often, okay?

Hello and welcome Dot!

I think it's great you are looking for healthier recipes and ways to

incorporate more veggies into your diet! That can only be a good thing.

Vegetables are so abundant and versatile, you'll never get bored trying new

things, we promise! :-)

By knowing you want to eat healthier, you're already intelligent!! :-)

As Pat suggested, check out our recipes in our files for great ideas on new

dishes.

Hi Cindy -

We are lacto-ovo vegetarians - though would love to be vegan at some point.

We live in the U.S. but my husband is English. My daughter's new favorite dish

is baked beans on toast with scrambled eggs. I also have great recipes for

veggie shepard's pie and lasagna if you want I can send them across - they are

time consuming but when I make them I'll double the recipe and freeze one for

later. My kids (5 1/2 and 4 next month) love beans of any kind and will eat

chick peas (garbanzo beans) solo. My son also has to eat almost as soon as he

walks in the door or there is a major meltdown. I'll give him a yogurt or fruit

to buy some time or will quickly steam up some tofu and veg. Dinner's are often

whole wheat pasta w/ sauce, stir fries or salads.

Hi,

I just joined this group last week and thought I would post an intro. I

tried to answer the questions sent out with my welcome letter but the email

address didn't work? (parents or something

like that, I hope you know which I mean).

My name is Cindy and I'm 28. I live in England with my husband, 33

(henceforth known as DH) and son, 3 years (DS).

I have been vegetarian since the age of 13. I am also periodically vegan

because I have a skin condition which is made worse by dairy products -

although I find it hard to stay vegan when I am chief cook and bottle washer

dealing with the food for 3 people all of whom eat different things, and

usually end up going back to vegetarian since it's " easier " (yes I know this

is a pathetic excuse but I'm working on it!).

My husband is a dyed in the wool carnivore, and the day he goes veggie will

be the day I die from shock.

When our son was born we had to reach a compromise about his eating. I

agreed to let him have access to meat if his dad agreed not to force him to

eat it. Generally we do this by cooking extra of whatever DH is eating, just

in case DS wants some. Then when he's old enough to understand he can make

his own choice which way he wants to go. At the moment DS is not keen on

meat (yay!) and usually turns down whatever DH offers him (unless it is

sausages or fish fingers, which he loves).

But then he also turns down whatever veggie meal I offer him too (boo!). I

find that a lot of the things are too spicy, contain unusual ingredients he

doesn't like, or else they take too long to cook (I have a 30 minute window

between getting home and him needing to eat NOW! or he goes past it and is

too cranky to eat)

So unless DH is eating sausages or fish fingers, DS usually ends up eating

plain rice/potatoes/pasta (with no sauce), with plain boiled carrots/green

beans/zucchini/broccoli/sweetcorn/peas, or baked beans. He does like cheese

(as long as it isn't cooked or melted) plus yoghurts and fruit (bananas and

strawberries mainly). He HATES all ready-made veggie " fake meat " foods like

veggie burgers, veggie sausages (apart from the ones that taste like hot

dogs) and the like, and to be honest I don't want him to live on those

anyway as they're not a lot better health wise than fish fingers or sausages

(in fact other than those two he doesn't really like any other meat junk

food - burgers or chicken nuggets or whatever).

I'm not panicking too much about his nutrition yet. I'm of the opinion that

overall he eats OK, there are vitamins and minerals and protein and so on in

there, so he's not deficient (and I give him a multivitamin to make sure). I

know that at nursery he eats whatever they give him (because they all eat

the same thing and there is like a sibling rivalry thing going on there I

guess!), although this generally means meat since their veggie options are

all full of melted cheese which he hates. But I do want to offer him

something more interesting than " boiled veg and rice " that he tends to live

on. I'd also like to be able to give the school ideas for things to feed him

that aren't meat and aren't full of melted cheese, so he gets more choice

there. I need to find ideas for quick, easy and cheap vegetarian food that 3

year olds will eat. It's all very well promising to let him make his own

choice between meat or non meat, but if I can't ever find interesting veggie

things to offer him then he'll end up eating meat just because it was the

only thing that looked appealing!

Welcome to the group!

One solution I've found is to put vegetables out on the dinner table ASAP, while

I'm still cooking dinner. It might be leftover steamed vegs from the night

before, or crudites with or without a dip. This has the double advantage of

keeping the kids from falling apart from hunger AND getting more veggies into

them when they're so hungry they'll eat anything.
