A wish for no fish......

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone...

 

I have just had a chance to catch up on the posts.

 

Apparantly my fish recipe caused quite a commotion.

 

I am sorry if I offended anyone.

 

I would love to be completely Vegan, because I agree with all of

those ideas. But I have several things working against me:

1. I am severely allergic to dairy/lactose.

2. I am also allergic to corn. That means corn syrup, corn flour,

maltodextrin..etc.etc. Most " Natural Flavors " may have corn. America

loves to put corn in everything, so that makes things very

difficult. .

3. I am a Breast Cancer Patient. My Cancer is Estrogen positive, so

I cannot ingest anything that has PLANT ESTROGENS either. That means

no Soy. I have had a hysterectomy/oopherectomy as well. so I would

love to be able to take black cohosh root, and soy, but I cannot.

4.My Doctor insists that I eat some chicken and fish to get enough

protein and fatty acids in my diet. I take all kinds of supplements,

but they still really don't know what works to prevent a recurrence.

 

I check this website often, because I have found recipes that even I

can use.

 

I have two step siblings that are Vegetarian. They live in New York,

and one of them eats fish.

 

So, that is why I labeled the recipe " for those who eat fish " so

unsuspecting non-fish people(term?) would not have to read it.

 

I will refrain from posting anything that is not Vegan.

 

I wish you all a happy, healthy Day!

 

Sincerely,

Paula

I empathize with your health problems and how difficult

it must be to eat a strict vegetarian diet given those limitations of

what you can safely ingest. I do feel for your situation,

and if I were in your shoes and had to eat chicken and fish

as a matter of life or death, I would; no question. It would be

difficult as I don't like the taste, but I would do whatever it

took to stay as healthy and alive as I could. I don't think anybody

here was trying to make you feel bad about that as none

of us knew that was where you were coming from.

I hope you will continue to post and enjoy this list.

 

Sincerely,

PT
