vegan

so when i was sick i was only eating veggie soup with tofu everyday and only like one bowl, just because most of the day i was asleep and also i felt like crap so i wasn't very hungry.... anyway first of all my stomach COMPLETELY shrunk not only on the outside (i lost somewhere between 2-5 lbs) but the amount i eat also.... plus since the whole week i ate absolutely no dairy, the first time i ate dairy i got sick and ended up having the weirdest stomach ache i've ever had and diarrhea for the next two days. i wasn't sure what exactly it was at first because it didn't feel like morning sickness but it didn't feel like i was sick... anyway i finally felt better when i ate some thai food with no dairy in it and ever since then anytime i eat ANY dairy, like a tiny bit of butter on toast i feel sick, and its this weird sick that i used to feel anytime i had like a glass of milk and then took a nap but i have never felt it just eating a tiny bit of dairy without falling asleep.. i dont know if this whole blog makes sense because i'm on the phone with flo while typing this... anyway all this to say, i think i have to be a vegan now which is kind of stressful because it will be even harder to get enough protein, which is especially important while i'm pregnant cause low protein can lead to Preeclampsia.....

Okay, don't shoot me, but have you tried raw dairy products?

I have had some similar issues with pasteurized and homogenized dairy products that disappear when using the real and raw variety. Just an idea, as I know protein is so very important with being prego and all.

www.realmilk.com has a good site for finding raw milk in your area if you are interested.

marianne- i would NEVER shoot you. ha. maybe i'll try that.... on one hand i am stressed about the protein, on the other hand i am sooooo grossed out by animal stuff that im kind of excited to get rid of all of it... but if it turns out to be too hard i'll try the raw thing. by the way i dont think its the healthiest thing to not eat animal stuff (the chemical/hormone free stuff) i just feel so incredibly weird about eating it.
