Paul, > So are you both still eating vegetarian? I eat fish but he usually won't. I have had dried meat, jerky, and liked it. but just a little bit. > Has he tried sauteeing with coconut oil? From what I've read this is the > only totally stable at high-temperature natural fat. It's available from > Omega nutrition. http://www.omegaflo.com/ no, and that's a good idea. thanks for the info. Also, macademia nut oil, I understand. > Has he tried buckwheat or kasha? I haven't had it lately but I find it > agreeable; if I had to eat vegetarian I would probably be eating quite a bit > of it since it is quite filling. thanks for the suggestions. he avoids wheat. although buckwheat, is that wheat? he also tried spelt which was okay for a while. he likes beans best. he grew up in the south west. > I got sick one day a week every week of my childhood with splitting > headaches and vomiting, and I'm sure now it was just my body detoxing > all the candy, soda pop, etc. Then after college I fell into a > depression, and my mom, not knowing any better, would go to the store > to buy me 'treats' to feel better - that almost literally killed me > but I had no idea. how could you know, as a child? my husband's mother used to give him coke as a treat, or a cure for when he'd get indigestion and it just made it worse, and he hated it. he has had chronic indigestion all his life. he didn't believe it could ever go away and was on medication for it for a while. Now, it's to where if he feels it coming on, he eats a piece of raw ginger. He used buy ginger extract and squirt that in his mouth. but we discovered, just peeling and cutting up raw ginger into tiny pieces works best. he carries it around in a baggy. it's like popping tums. how he can eat it raw like that, is beyond me, but he does and it works and it's easy and cheap and he gets much less symptoms than he used to. I was lucky to have a mother that understood about healthy eating. She was not the perfect mom by any means, but I did learn alot of good food habits from her and salads (with oil/lemon juice and garlic dressing) have always been my staple in life. Lucia
