Guest guest Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 After reading that article I am a little worried about b12-whether or not my son is getting enough. He is 22mos. and eats dairy perhaps twice a month and honey in some baked goods, otherwise he is vegan. I don't give him supplements apart from a teaspoon of EFA (sunflower,sesame,borage, etc.) oil everyday. I feel that he eats very well and we rarely eat convenience food. He does eat tofu dogs by YVES and soy milk which are both fortified with b12 but not a lot. Can anyone suggest a good veg friendly book on b12 or, better yet, some foods that are high in b12. I know he's healthy but I can't get that silly article out of my head so I'm hoping for a little reassurance. It's great to be a part of this group....Thanks, Madeline _______________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 Can anyone suggest a good veg friendly book on > b12 " Becoming Vegan " It's written by two registered dietians who are experts in vegetarianism. It tells the facts and doesn't glamour everything up like other book can. You might find it at your library. " Simply Vegan " has good info also. > or, better > yet, some foods that are high in b12. Red Star nutritional yeast has a reliable source. Anything that's fortified with B-12. Spirulina, tempeh, etc... are not reliable sources. If I were you I would read your labels carefully and make sure he gets the minimum RDA **every day**. > I know he's healthy but > I can't get > that silly article out of my head..... That is a sign! Trust your head, it's probably telling you something very important. Good Luck and best wishes! Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 i help my daughter (who is vegan) get B12 from nutl. yeast. she absolutely adores it on noodles.......and the new farm vegetarian cookbook has a great recipe. it is 1/2 cup nutl. yeast flakes with 1/2 cup of flour (i have used w.w. pastry and it's fine) and 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder) ........stir that around and heat it a little and then add 2 cups water.......after it has thickened and boiled you let it go for 30 seconds, take it off the heat and then add 1/4 margarine and 1 tsp. wet mustard. this is yummy and quick.....my dd and i had it for breakfast today!!! i think that nutritional yeast is a good and easy way for vegan kids to get their vitamins! much love, jilly , " Madeline White " <madeline_killian@h...> wrote: > After reading that article I am a little worried about b12-whether or not my > son is getting enough.

I LOVE nutritional yeast! There is an excellent recipe for Southern Fried Tofu in Vegan Vittles. I like to take the left over ny mixture and mix it with noodles, olive oil and extra garlic!! It is so good, but my breath stinks for two days! Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 Thanks for the advice. I have been feeding my son nut. yeast (in the form of Road's End Organics ww mac and chreese) for some time now. Is all nutritional yeast high in b12 or does it have to specify b12 fortified? I buy it from the bulk section at my hfs and the label doesn't specify any ingredients or additives. If it is fortified, what is the source?

It has a kind of nutty taste and is a good source of B vitamins and protein. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
