I can't eat meat, dairy or wheat products. What are the best alternative ways to get the nutrients of these?

Question

Paticularly calcium and iron...

Answer 1

I, too, cannot eat meat, commercial dairy (I do fine with raw dairy) or wheat, soy, or eggs. I have compiled a blog with recipes and tips for avoiding these allergens. I am extremely intolerant to commercial dairy, but have learned it is due to the toxic way commercial milk is prepared, with steroids, growth hormones, etc. I have been hospitalized many times from severe reactions to commercial milk. When I first learned about raw dairy, I was really skeptical, and convinced I would have a reaction, but I really missed meat and cheese in my diet. I now consume them as a staple on a daily basis. What a joy to have them back in my diet. Here is a link for my blog, that talks about meat, milk, wheat, etc. and has some recipes for alternatives that are not so boring. I hope it helps. I update it daily with new recipes, so if you find it useful, feel free to bookmark it. I hope it helps-I know how hard this can be. You can also email me if you like.

Answer 2

One of the best things about going veg was discoving all the alternative grains out there.

Have you tried hemp breads or quinoa pastas? YUM YUM!

Dark green veggies are good for both your iron and calcium needs. Kale, Collard, Chard.

Whole grains are also good for both calcium and iron. Molasses is an excellent source of iron. One teaspoon (if I recall correctly) is your daily allowance. So put that in your coffee or tea.

Calcium set tofu is an excellent source of calcium. Make sure the ingredients list calcium sulfate and not nagiri.

Answer 3

Try accessing the Vegetarian Resource Group's website. They recently featured an article on wheat allergies and dietary alternatives.

Eat lots of dark green leafy vegetables and tofu, and citrus and other Vitamin C-rich fruit. Get a balanced diet, research on the internet, patiently, and you'll be surprised with the wide range of helpful information online.

Good luck!

Answer 4

to replace your meat source make sure you eat plenty of protein, you can get this from veggie burgers, and soy-based meat products. you can get your dairy from rice milk, or soy milk or take calcium supplements, which come in chocolate flavored chews that taste really good, and to replace the wheat just buy gutton-free products which you can find at most health food stores
