Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi, I'm Holli. I've been a vegetarian my whole adult life, and was raising my son to be vegetarian, too. He's 4.5, and has had food allergies pretty much his whole life. We were coping pretty well with the food allergy veg. thing until his most recent crop of allergies were confirmed. He is now allergic to wheat, soy, egg, dairy, peanuts and treenuts. There's no way he could possibly safely remain a vegetarian with those restrictions. So here's the problem. I started trialling various meats (with food allergies, you do one new thing a week to give you a chance to I.d. the culprit if there's reaction) about three weeks ago. I am eating what he eats, as is dh, for the most part (he was always omni). Ds and I this week have been having some serious gi issues. My first thought is allergies, but since it's both of us, probably not. My next thought was virus, but neither of us feels particularly ill (aside from our guts) or has a fever. So I'm wondering if it's because of the meat. Do any of you know any veggies who started eating meat? Did they get sick? If so, did they get over it? Ds needs some kind of nutrition, and I'm starting to feel a little desperate here. I'm calling his dr in the morning, but I want some veggie input. Thanks, Holli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
