Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi All, I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Cindy and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you. A while back I started transitioning over to vegetarianism and I am hoping that some of you may have some suggestions or tips for me. I am anemic so if I don't get the proper nutrition I need, I get sick and worn down. I have two kids that don't share my desire to be a vegetarian and I have a very busy hectic life. Trying to prepare food for myself that gives me all the nutriants I need to keep healthy has been very difficult. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I know that I have more specific questions that I will ask all of you when I have a little more time:) I look forward to talking with you!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Cook in cast iron (especially acidic things like tomatoes and dishes with vinegar or lemon juice in them). Also, there is an herbal liquid iron supplement which is very good - Floradix. They also make a yeast-free version, FloraVital, if that's an issue for you...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thank you! I will check into the Floradix. Lack of iron is one of my biggest issues. , " Amy " <sandpiperhiker wrote: > > Cook in cast iron (especially acidic things like tomatoes and dishes > with vinegar or lemon juice in them).
