Hi all,

 

I am the mother of two beautiful children (2 yrs and 1 month) but both

have a rare and possibly life-threatening metabollic disease called

citrullinemia. They have the amino-acid citrulline elevated in their

bodies which indicates they may not make enough of one enzyme to

eliminate ammonia from the body following the breakdown of protein.

 

So, we are becoming a mostly vegetarian family who on occasion will

consume a meat like lamb but we are quitting that and dairy/cheeses. I

am also blessed that I am raising a " Spirited " toddler who's picky and

with a newborn my time is mostly dedicated to nursing. Any suggestions

from you seasoned moms/dads is SO appreciated!

 

It's nice to meet you all, and thanks for allowing me to join your

group.
