Hello, I want to post an intro before I ask some important questions. My dh Scott, dd Sierra (2.75 yo) and I live in eastern WA. We moved here from Santa Cruz, CA about 1.5 years ago to buy a house with a tiny bit of land. We raise ducks for eggs and meat and (I know it isn't paleo) nubian dairy goats to obtain raw milk. My daughter and I don't really consume any of the dairy, except for fairly rare occasions. Anyway, I am now 28 weeks pregnant. This is my first "paleo pregnancy". I have had almost zero nausea and heartburn, which were fairly severe with my first pregnancy. I was put on anti-nausea meds with my first pregnancy and the nausea lasted the full nine months. So, I am seeing some positive differences. I have some fairly serious concerns that have arisen recently about the paleo diet during pregnancy, but I will post them separately. Anyway, we have been 100%ish raw foodists in the past, about a year or so ago, but had trouble obtaining not previously frozen grass-finished beef or any other decent meat and ended up, it seemed, eating too much fruit. Anyway, I find it easier and more appealing to eat the previously frozen meat slightly cooked but still like to eat the organ meats raw. I can't stand the grey color and weird smell of cooked organs. So anyway, we now cook a substantial amount of our food. We would not have tried any of these dietary changes and most likely would have ended up vegetarians (It is hard not to be a vegetarian in Santa Cruz), if it had not been for my daughter Sierra and her colic, which ended up being a gluten/heated casein, among other food sensitivities, problem. So thanks to her, we stumbled upon gluten/casein free diet, raw paleo, and Weston Price info and have seen some improvements in some previous health issues. I look forward to participating on this list and (hopefully) getting some replies! Rebekah Fechner-Jones
