newbie: vegetarian and kosher. How to make this work?!

[Guest guest]

So glad we found this list....

Our 8 1/2 year old dd has been sick for over two months with GI

symptoms. She was in fine health before then. The dr's are currently

narrowing the diagnosis down, but it appears likely to be Crohn's or

colitis.

We have read BTVC, ordered a yogurt maker , and are now trying to

figure out how the heck to change our diet to make this work. We are

a vegetarian family that eats eggs and dairy, but not fish or chicken,

etc. In my recent pregnancy (we have a 5 week old now!) I started to

eat fish, and my dd was really grossed out. It would be fine with my

husband and I for her to start eating anything, even meat, but, as you

can see, we have a real uphill ride here....

Also, just to add a few more things to the mix:

1) our 3 year old dd has a life-threatening allergy to nuts, so MANY

of the recipes we can't make at home because we absolutely can't have

nuts around our house.

2) we are an observant Jewish family who keeps koshesr and all of our

food products must be kosher-certified.

We would love any help and input for how to best implement the diet.

Thanks so much,

in your shoes i would not be vaccinating the 5 week old

my write up on vaccines

blood lead tests are quite indicative of lead issues only you have to

realise the standards are set at hopelessly high levels and really

anything above 1 microgram/dl is an issue

lead can be signficant on vegetarian diets because of the lack of

iron and boston of course being an old city has strong lead issues.

kosher is a set of dietary and health rules like scd, just look to

the principles and let things bend to a more realistic configuration

and you will find little conflict

the jewish race is autistically traited (and exeptionally

intelligent, einstein was an askenazy jew) and a lot of the kosher

rules like not eating shellfish and shark are firmly grounded in

reducing heavy metal toxicty like shellfish has high arsenic levels

and shark has high mercury (these naturally high levels have always

been an issue with seafood going back millions of years)

de-blooded animals are a way of keeping iron overload down

you can see how the rules are dated though by considering things like

tuna and swordfish which can have high mercury levels though

sowrdfish is in some camps not kosher

another problem with fish these days is pcbs in fish have a very

toxic synergy with mercury and i hardly eat fish at all now

food allergies are tautological with a leaky gut, you will need to

look at efas and a quality fish oil for starters

scd is no big deal, i started by elminating all grains and potatoes

and theres no shortage of suitable vegetables, but 90% of the secret

is in the cooking like i pressure cook or roast in a self basting

roaster all my veges and green beans, carrots, celery, red cpasicum,

sewdes work well, not so keen on broccoli or cauliflower

vegetarians often have bacterial digestive issues with meat so

looking at an enzyme like the www.houstonni.com pep or afp pep would

if help with meat if you want to look at that issue
