When I talk about it with people, I mostly get discouragement. Most people tell me not to try.. or just cut out dairy or just cut out meat. But, my health problems are severe enough that I believe it would be the wisest course of action to cut out all meat and dairy and then maybe after I am feeling better for awhile, add things one at a time to see if they are not actually what I am allergic to.
Lactose intolerance seems to run in my family, so that is why it is likely that I also have an allergy to diary. But, I believe that the meat allergy might not actually be an allergy. You see, for two years, a couple years ago, I was a vegetarian.. well pescaterian.. I ate fish. Since I went back to eating meat again I realized that I had a much harder time stomaching it. I get sick a lot and I have a lot of stomach pain.
So, I am feeling inspired to make a change. To just jump off the cliff and hope it is the miracle cure. I am going to try to quit meat and dairy and instead choose my foods based on what my body needs to be strong. So please, I don't want to hear you tell me I can't... if you don't have anything positive to say, keep it to yourself.
As a closing note, since I have been looking into this, I have researched some blogs. Here are two that are inspiring to me at the moment. Vegan Wifestyle and The Healthy Hippie.
Have a great Wednesday!
