Wow! Thanks s_am, that's quite extensive! I gotta admit it kind of makes me feel special; respected and accepted, that shops go to such lengths you know? Does anyone else feel that way?
I'm still giving it some more time to see if the changes I've noticed stay or not, and I'll report on them later, but for now, I thought I'd share about one funny side effect: I smell really nice -...
For probiotics I use Co-Yo, which is a 100% vegan coconut milk yoghurt (although I don't know exactly how one would extract it for use in the lemonade)...
It's strange, I think even though I had a very poor pre-conceived notion of what veganism actually was about, I now think I was always going to end up as a vegan at some point. I had already cut out...
I'm also 5'3" and initially lost around 20 pounds (which wasn't all bad as I was a bit overweight), partly because I was so shocked and grieving the animal kingdom's losses that I couldn't eat for a...
I avoid P&G, Unilever (except for my husband's PG tips), and Nestle, and when I looked at the Monsanto list, thankfully it seems I've also accidentally boycotted them mostly too, except for Heinz...
I'm kinda glad it's that way 'round than the other. I tried to buy some children's paracetamol the other day and the woman at the checkout looked at me suspiciously, asked...
I was incredibly naive and uninformed. I'd never personally met any vegans, or at least if I did, they didn't tell me/talk to me about it. No-one ever told me the real issues with the uses of...
I know this is late, but this year Easter was exactly a week before my 34th birthday, so I tried to buy myself a vegan sugar-free carob egg (I don't eat sugar or cocoa), the company didn't have any...
Yep! It's strong flavoured so you don't need a lot, it's good on pizza, but it's also good cold and used like a spread. I usually use a vegetable peeler to slice it as it's too soft under a spreading...
I didn't know if my oats were not raw or something and if maybe the raw ones needed more time... It's funny how it didn't even occur to me that the cooking thing is what most people do, as I've...
I have a similar breakfast usually, but it's not soaked overnight, just for half an hour or so... What does the overnight part do that's different? Are they a different kind of oat so they need...
Okay, GP said he thought it was a sensitivity rather than an allergy as I didn't get respiratory problems or any kind of rash. He also said that yes, different types are more of a problem for others....
Thanks all... I'm pretty certain now that it is an allergy rather than a food intolerance, esp. as I have eczema, asthma, and hayfever, and am allergic to cats, perfumes, and three different kinds of...
Well... I've always liked Soy sauce since childhood (have it occasionally), and I quite like Tofu, but not very often. Both seem not to cause me any issues, and I don't drink soy milk...
Just a lil update: after a couple of months using Evening Primrose oil for this and other hormones related issues, my spots have really cleared up! Yay! So might be worth trying for a long-ish period...
Well apparently I have the FRICKIN FLU AGAIN! Gggrrrrrr! Although I now don't feel the "vegan defensiveness" about worrying non-vegans are blaming my diet as my omni hubby had it too (in fact I think...
Just to add - I didn't see this until just now (thought I'd read all the posts but missed a chunk on this second page), but thanks for the share and I am glad to see I wasn't the only one who had...
It's weird how that came out - I didn't mean to incorporate any info about my mum - maybe the maternal nature of the conversation... It was a stream of consciousness though, that actually helped me...
I didn't go to a specific clinic, but did have support from La Leche League... I just seemed to consistently be making too much to contain... I might have been...
Sadly I had a very strange problem with my kids - overproduction (I went from a 32C to a 36FF)! I breastfed my first two children, and the latching was fine, the communication was fine, etc... But my...
