Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Melissa- We have so many recipes in our archives. I would start there. With veggies, the way I transistioned my children into eating them was to make sure I had good tasteing dip. We have a lot of recipes for dips too. Kids love to dip food then eat it. I do not cook much from scratch. My son is 7 1/2 and was diagnosed with celiac when he was 19months. My daughter is allergic to wheat she is 10 1/2. But my husband and I both eat wheat. So I cook things like tacos, spagetti, nachos, enchaliadas, with a veriaty of veggies and fruit. I have been burnt out on cooking so sticking to easy made things. I am hoping to start cooking agian with some new recipes I have just recieved from my Mother-in-law. Simple is best at first. It makes the transition easier. There is almost 3 years worth of information as well as recipes in the archives of the list. Read through it if you can. Otherwise there are a few of us here who will try and answer your questions. Good luck and glad to see you here. Amy wiseuys6 wrote: >My 4 year old has celiacs.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 I heard from a naturopath that cooked veges are easier to digest if you have problematic digestive system so I try to have lightly cooked veges fairly regularly. My point is it doesn't matter if she won't eat raw if she will eat cooked. Bridgy On Mon, 2003-07-14 at 08:40, wiseuys6 wrote: My 4 year old has celiacs.

By eliminating gluten from her diet, we have eliminated all of her favorite things. What are some good gf foods that the whole family can eat that I can easily make from scratch. What would a days diet look like for her. I also can't get her to eat many raw veggies. Please help. melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Althea, I suggest you make a menu for one week. Then begin to transition slowly. Give yourself three to six months to do so. Decide where you are transitioning to, vegan vegetarian or raw food. There are members within the group who has experience in both areas and can save you some trial and error.

I am a vegan who is interested in becoming a raw fooder. My husband still eats fish, but is open to transition to veganism, even raw food. We are raising our toddler son vegan. I apologize for not doing the poll. I had gone " no mail " for a time because I was out of town. I joined the list because I'd like to know where to start with a raw lifestyle. I've read " Heal Thyself, " " Living Foods for Optimal Health, " and " Fit for Life, Not Fat for Life. " I have three recipe books I bought from Sprout Raw Food in Atlanta. I have to admit, I'm a bit intimidated. I don't have a dehydrator (where to get one?). I don't spout yet either. The recipes look long and complicated (and I do enjoying cooking and spending time in my kitchen). My question is simply, " where to begin? " Even with books and recipes, it's like I have so much information that I don't know where to start. I didn't ask this before because I thought I would sound stupid. I'm really interested for myself and especially for my husband's health. peace, Althea Althea Hughes Wills Award-winning novelist of Walking The Line Writer, Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Intuitive Medium, and Vegan Chef Coming Soon: A Heroine for the New Millennium......
