Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Don't be depressed. I would definitely try to cut back on the amount of meat that you eat in order to buy grassfed meats. That's what we did. We only eat meat once a day...sometimes not even every day. We always eat some sort of egg for breakfast...don't remember if you guys can do eggs...and a fruit. For lunch it is some sort of dairy product...which I know you can't do...a veggie, and a fruit...or sometimes a baked good instead of the dairy. For supper, it is a meat, a veggie, and sometimes a fruit. If i forgot to thaw meat...which happens fairly frequently these days...then we do a baked good or dairy product like cheese or yogurt. We did eat a lot of meat when we were dairy and egg free in the early months of SCD. Then, we backed off a bit when we started the yogurt. In late summer, we switched to grassfed meats. My son can handle eggs now, too, so that makes it so much easier. If you must do dairy and egg free, then I'd give large fruit and veggie servings. Granted, vegetarians do have the grains at their disposal, but you can still make filling meals without them...just fruits and veggies and an occassional meat. I'd also check into getting the meat from a farm where you know the animals are grassfed. I've been doing some reading on organic and free range restrictions, and they're not as great as you might think. You can look for sources in your area...or farms that will ship, which is what we have to do...at www.eatwild.com Meleah Glutamate and SCD yogurt? > > > I am wondering if I need to avoid grain feed chickens?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Oh, no.... you didn't offend me. I just sort of chuckled to myself when I read your post, because I know exactly what you're feeling.... I think. We've all been there. Seems like everything we eat these days has a down side. Anyway, no offense taken here. And feel free to whine away... this is a good place to do it. hugs, Patti Re: Glutamate and SCD yogurt? Patti, I'm sorry I'm an idiot when it comes to words.(I sincerely mean this) I'm just kidding about the depressed thing....I don't want simpathy, or anyone to feel sorry for me...most you mom's have been through a lot more than I have. I apprecicate the info. on the chicken...and I imagine lots a people are in the same situation with food costing a lot. Yes I do worry a lot...I'm working on that. I sound pretty winey... don't I? I should think more before I post, I always use the wrong words...Sorry for offending you...I know I done this before... cathy Recent Activity a.. 24New Members Visit Your Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
