I so wish I could go vegetrian, but I can not. I have multiple problems. I can't have the alternate proteins that use soy as a base for I take thyroid and that stops the absorbption of the meds. I am also borderline kidney failure and shouldn't eat too much protein---nor can I have much beans. Eggs are a good source of protein, but bad for my lousy heart! I have to keep from getting dehydrated, but I also retain flouids like crazy for I am wheel chair bound and can not excersize!! What is good for one thing, will be bad for another and I am also diebetic! The doctors do not care what I eat as anything is liable to do me in! I pray beore I buy anything, I pray when I am cooking and pray before I eat----so far, I have lived in hospice (at home)for over 1 year longer than anhyone expected, so I guess God is handling the situtation just fine! I just do the best I can. I stick to poultry and fish mostly--careful with carbs, mostly veggies and I do love fruit, but haver to be csareful of the sugar conternt of them. It's all enough to drive you to drink----but I can't do that either, it's bad for everything!
