animal allergies (was :RE: New girl here TOO)

[Guest guest]

About 3 years ago next week, I turned lacto-ovo vegitarian, mostly due to

allergies to meat protiens. I am now in the process of turning vegan for

allergies to animal protiens as a whole. I was wondering how many others out

there initally turned vegitarian for health complications and allergies like

this.

I have a cousin who turned vegetarian because of allergies, and she

eventually had to go vegan, as well.

 

I've discovered an unexpected benefit of becoming a vegetarian; lack

of headaches. I've been plagued with headaches all my life.

(Migraines, too, but I'm talking about the average, everyday

headache.) I used to go through 2-6 Excedrin PER DAY. But within

days of cutting out meat and cutting back on dairy products, my

headaches disappeared. After some research into this, I found that

the growth hormones given to meat and dairy animals can

cause...headaches! I haven't needed to take aspirin in months. It's

awesome!

The choices I make today are purely for health reasons. Since taking

refined sugar and processed flour out of my food plan, I feel 100% better.

Now I am in the process of teasing out my other food allergies.

 

One of the problems I have is that I seem to be allergic to some of the

alternative protein sources, such as beans and nuts.

Meg, are you sprouting your beans and nuts? It might be the

enzyme inhibitors that are the problem. Anna
