Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Ann, The most important priority is working your food program & the resultant healing process. I also understand your desire to eat more veggy meals. Once again the most important thing is to follow the food program and I have very high confidence that everything else will falll into place as a result.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Cindy, I agree with Bob’s post. Come join us over on the Parents group. I have heard that grains and beans do not need to be mixed in the same meal, just the same day. Maybe someone can confirm this. I know that Quorn was mentioned a few months back on the Parents group as being bad. I don’t remember why, but you can google it.

Does she need to mix the grains and the beans in the same meal, or over the course of the day? Any lunch box suggestions? Any tips on flavoring plain yogurt for her? Any bean dip recipes (she doesn't like hummus)? Any emergency, grab from the refrigerator meals or snacks that I can have handy? I know she shouldn't have too much soy, but is Quorn okay? Any other meat substitutes? Thanks so much for any advice you can give! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
