Guest guest Report post Posted March 14, 2006 Bravo for your English! Can you order food online? glutenfreemall.com or Kinnickinick.com (not sure if Kin. is vegan?) are good sources. There are some good German companies, too. Your baby is very young to be diagnosed Celiac! I am still nursing my 2.9 yr old, and she has not shown symptoms yet. I'm hoping she does not need to be gluten free. Jo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 14, 2006 Hi Viviana, I nursed a boy that needed to eat gluten free too. And now three of us in the family know that we need to eat this way. It is so worth it for the health of the child. My approach, more and more is to eat things that don't require bread, ethnic foods from other countries that are naturally gluten free. And we eat more and more simple fruits and vegetables. It is really better for our overall health. I agree that it takes more effort to cook everything from scratch, but when we do it that way we aren't eating all the additives, preservities and other things they put in pre-made food that isn't good for us anyway. I still wish I could run out for a pizza. But we are adjusting and finding more things that everyone likes. There are some things that aren't good that we won't make again, but it is that way with store bought foods too. I hope you can figure out something that works for you. Be sure to email back if you need some more encouragement.

Ack, some how I totally missed this message. I get behind with email often, but not usually this bad. Sorry. Anyway, welcome to the list. 40lbs is an impressive amount to lose. I don't know how much has changed about dieting in the last three years, but we're happy to share any information we have.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 9, 2006 Welcome to our little family! Ask any questions you need to know about and I am sure someone will have suggestions. A brand name for cheese that most people seem to like the best is by " Follow Your Heart. " It feels a little different than real cheese, a bit more oily, but it is good and I use it for anything that calls for cheese including pizza. There are also vegan parmesan cheeses that are good and many people make their own. linda <RONTRISH > Hi, > My name is Trisha. I live in Orlando, Fl and have 7 yr old that is also > vegetarian.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 24, 2006 Hi I'm Shirley, 30 yrs old, mother to two boys 8 and 12, we are all vegetarians. I've been veg since I was 11 and my boys since birth. We live in Columbia. I am hoping to get some new recipies for my picky 8 yr old who would live off of burritos and pizza if I let him! And just some interesting ones to mix things up, as it seems we have gotten into a rut when it comes to what to make for dinner. Hopefully some of my old recipies will be new and exciting for someone else in the group! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Hi, Congratulations on your weight loss. It really helps your body, once you become a vegetarian. When I became vegetarian, I took care that I was getting all the essential nutrients by including different fruit and vegetable groups in my diet. Have you tried raw milk before. this is unpasturized milk which even lactose intolerant people can have. I also juice a lot of frutis and vegetables, so that I get a concentrated source of the required nutrients.

My name is Jodie and I've been a vegetarian for 6 yrs and just recently became Vegan 1 month ago. I live in Nevada and am constanly getting teased for being a vegetarian. I would not go back to eatting meat. I feel so much better and have lost 20 lbs since changing my eatting habits. My mom has even become a vegetarian 4 months ago and has lost weight. She always wonder why I changed the way I eat and now she understands. Hope to meet many new friends! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted June 7, 2006 Hi Kathie ~ Get yourself a nice tofu cookbook! It is so versatile! My partner & I share the cooking responibilities as well. Neither of us eat any meat. Last night we made Vegetarian Hot Pot or something like that out of some old magazine we have. It was yummy! Had tofu, bok choy, rice sticks, veggie broth and a couple other things which are escaping me now. My partner wasn't feeling well, so I wanted to make her a nice hearty soup with protein and it turned out delicious! We've consciously changed our eating habits over the last few months to make more meals from scratch and be aware of our protein and carb intakes. There a multitude of yummy veg dishes out there, you just need to look and stock up on some great essentials (veggies, spices, sauces etc) Welcome!

Guest guest Report post Posted July 18, 2006 They papaya enzymes I " used " to take were full of sugar. So make sure there is no sugar in them. Also there are lots of good enzymes on the market. I take them. I just went into Whole Foods and asked for advice. Each time they suggest Advanced Enzyme System by Rainbow Light. There is some papaya in it with lots of other stuff.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 18, 2006 Good morning! I've lost over 60 pounds in the last 14 months and most of that was on raw foods. I don't take any pills or supplements. All I do is eat good, nourishing raw food and exercise. You can read all about it on my blog listed below my name. I also have a forum for people interested in 811rv. http://snipurl.com/sf3a. BTW, I hardly ever eat carrots!

Guest guest Report post Posted July 19, 2006 I lost abt 50 lbs by eating 100% raw and green juicing 2X a day. Enzymes were part of it, (not papaya). Losing weight was not my 1st priority, I was trying to regain my health after a serious illness. I also did a lot of detoxing. I ate whatever I wanted as long as it was raw and vegetable based- no meat ,dairy, sugar, processed food etc. It took about 10 months. I was very strict The first 3 weeks I spent at a raw food health center (Hippocrates) which really helped me get started. Terry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted August 22, 2006 Hi Carol, and welcome to the group. Are you possibly thinking about taking up vegetarianism, or maybe including more vegetarian dishes in your diet? or maybe you are interested from a point of view of providing menus for clients who may choose a vegetarian way of life and have to combine this with other dietary restrictions? Whatever the case, I think you will find a lot of useful information in this group. The discussions are rather quiet at the moment but this will no doubt change, and meanwhile if you go to the website of vegetarianslimming you have the opportunity to look through the archive of messages which have been sent before - the improved message search allows you to search for a particular subject e.g. the name of a vegetable or a food suppliement, and all the messages including that term will be revealed. Also the Files section includes a valuable library of recipes added by the members, grouped according to type (breakfasts, main meals, salads etc.) and there are a set of useful Links. Looking forward to hearing from you on the group. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, I'm sure someone will know the answer or be able to find out!

Guest guest Report post Posted October 14, 2006 Hi! I'm Kadee from Illinois, and I know what you mean, it's rough being the only vegetarian family around. I have really enjoyed this group. It is really nice to know there are other people out there who won't give you the " they need meat " talk. My kids are Leah, she'll be three next month (sob!!) and Jeffery Jr., who is 1 1/2. They've been vegetarian all their lives, and it's so nice to let them love all the animals to the greatest extent they can without one learning that that animal is what they have on their dinner plates. My daughter especially loves animals. She spent nearly an hour in our rat room earlier this evening and fed them nearly a whole bag of papaya treats! Guess we'll have to buy more. I hope this list is good for you- This is where I learned about using baking soda and vinegar instead of laundry detergent.

I have two little girls (3 and 7) who are being raised vegetarian and my husband and I are vegan. Most of what our daughters eat is vegan, but they do occasionally get mac n cheese or something terrible like that. I'm really excited to get to know you all better. I have a deep need to feel more connected with other veg families. Also, my older daughter is beginning to feel a need to know that there are other veg kids out there. We live in a small town in Wisconsin and I have found it really difficult to find other veg families. Our family is veg almost solely due to our concern for animals. While we do try to eat healthily, it is always most important for us to influence others to consider the welfare of animals. Looking forward to getting to know you all better....

Guest guest Report post Posted October 14, 2006 Hi! I also have a 7 year old that is Vegetarian. He constantly tells me that he is the only Vegetarian in his class, at his school, etc. I am not sure if that is true, but I know he feels that way. He doesn't mind, just wishes he could convert them, but I do wish he could get to know others, so as not to feel so different!

Guest guest Report post Posted October 14, 2006 Wenzel family, Welcome! I hope you find this group helpful! It's so important to connect with other veg families, and for your children to see that many others make this choice too! If you ever have a chance to attend the Vegetarian Summerfest that happens every summer in Johnstown PA you might want to try it. It's a nice family summer vacation/summer camp way to meet other like minded folks from all over. We've attended twice and loved it! We hope to go again once our family is a little more mobile. But you might be able to seek out some semblance of a veg community closer to you too!
