Another intro! :) - hi kyrene

[Guest guest]

hi kyrene,

welcome. thanks for the introduction. it's nice to

see you here as well as in the .

 

i'm glad your body is responding postively to a

vegetarian diet. do you take probiotics and/or

digestive enzymes? those supplements might be very

helpful for you digestive disorders.

 

i try to limit my dairy intake. the hardest thing to

give up is the cheese. i have found great

alternatives for milk, sour cream and cream cheese

(i've been using the tofutti brand for sc and cc and

they are excellent). vegan gourmet by follow your

heart makes a really good cheese substitute...it melts

too. i can't find it where i live, but they are

widening their distribution so i'm hoping it will get

here soon. there's also a recipe in our files for a

vegan melty cheez that i just love. if you are

interested i can repost it or direct you to it in the

files.

 

glad to have you here,

susie

Indeedy. That's how I found this group to begin with so I figured

that I'd check it out.

I have attempted taking acidophylus, and it does help but it doesn't

completely eliminate all of the issues my body has digesting meat and

dairy. I'm currently on Zelnorm and I loves it oh so much.

I found tofutti cream cheese, and I look forward to having it on my

bagel. I also have Earth Balance " butter " , which helps too.

I also can't find it. Only brand I've found is vegan cheese, which

comes in american slices and two blocks of I think cheddar and

mozzarella. I bought it all after discovering that soy cheese has

dairy in it. Um...not a help.

I must investigate it and give it a shot. Thanks!
