HI

My name is Kate and I'm new on here. I have a 14 yer old who a year ago

decided to go vegetarian.

I decided to let her make her own decsion on this as even as a baby she

did not like the taste of meat.

I have tried to give her a balanced diet but am starting to worry that

I am not giving her enough.

My local doctor tried to get her to eat meat then the podiatrist told

her her bones wouldn't grow if she didn't eat meat.

 

I buy the vegaterian sausages, burger patties, roasts. I make a lot of

things with tofu, chickpeas, lentils.

 

Is she gitting all the nutrients she needs to grow. She love exercise

and is extreamly fit.

 

The only reason the rest of my family doesn't eat as much vegetarian as

her is my youngest and myself have coeliacs so that rules out a lot of

the vegetarian stuff as it is made with mostly gluten protien.

Thanks

 

Kate
