I think I'm on board with the ex-vegan thing... I don't feel well when I'm not eating meat. My husband claims he's never felt better, but I was only able to try a vegan diet for a few weeks, then I had to go back to eating fish and chicken. I was exhausted! I read somewhere that when you have thyroid disease you require more protein than other people, so I'm thinking that might be it.VintageMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04545128418933344478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235870075007669222.post-20824658658133006552011-12-09T13:05:34.061-05:002011-12-09T13:05:34.061-05:00Gelatin is EXCELLENT for healing the body.

My son used to be extremely sensative to the colored stuff.<br />Potatoes and coconut oil are your best bet. Homemade French Fries are a complete meal. They contain small amounts of high quality protein...like an egg. I have lived on them for MONTHS at a time, for health and budgets reasons over the past couple of years.<br /><br />As a recovering ex vegan, I'd say not getting enough good quality protein may be part of the problem. I would urge you to reconsider...for health reasons.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12735762861554461361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235870075007669222.post-33657293502588766552011-12-09T07:38:29.411-05:002011-12-09T07:38:29.411-05:00We use what we call the "tonic": hot wat...We use what we call the "tonic": hot water, white vinegar, and honey (we also include lemon juice...but not sure if your boys can consume that...?). Vinegar is a sleep inducer; everything else helps you get it down while also soothing the throat.

When I'm sick, I usually drink some juices, liquids, and broths. I don't have allergies, and while yours seems to be a varied and complicated list, I'm hoping it doesn't keep you from finding some foods to nourish and heal your family. <br /><br />I'm wondering if you can make a simple veggie and rice soup(or use rice noodles) for a vegan and gluten-free option. If you need something cold, I'd suggest berry smoothies made with ice and maybe some non-dairy milk (would be dairy- and banana-free). Gelatin (not Jell-O) itself is a really great food, but I guess if you're going vegan, then that would be out. What about herbal "teas" that are made from various herbs, but not the actual tea leaf? Is that still a no-no considering the allergy and mold list? Would you be able to do rice crackers? What about the flavored waters (like Vitamin Water) instead of juices. What about the applesauce can't you have? If there aren't any apple allergies, there are some really crockpot applesauce recipes that are sugar-free (they may use honey, though). Or if the apples are a problem, then maybe you can try a pear version? And some hot chocolate (using dairy-free powder, not a mix, and dairy-free milk) would lift some spirits! <br /><br />These are just some things I came up with off the top of my head. I hope they help!Alisonnoreply@blogger.com
