I hope through this blog to help others find food in restaurants and learn how to read ingredients labels and use it to help live a healthy life.Linda B.

My daughter had a miserable time of it - but fortunately it was a mild form. I'm so proud of her for being such a good patient and taking all her <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">meds</span> and drinking lots of fluid!<br /><br /><br /><br />Something good, however, did come out of this flu - I DID NOT GET SICK!<br /><br /><br /><br />For the last 8 years every sneeze that has crossed my path has made me sick and I truly feel that with giving up dairy and working hard with an acupuncturist - I have made it to another level. I have not felt perfect during her flu - in fact I'm on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tamiflu</span> - but still no flu.<br /><br /><br /><br />I'm finally at the point that no matter how tempting the "dairy" looks - I know it will make me sick and take me back to where I was - so I'm moving on.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7815241512267086144-2714107561840881440?l=vegancarnivorous.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Linda B.

Having to give up dairy and finding replacement foods and navigating additives that many don't know are dairy - that is the biggest trick. <br /><br />As I find good brands and restaurants and tips - I will post and share. I don't have anyone to ask about these things - so hope I can make it easier for just one person.<br /><br />Today I ate lunch at Chipolte and found I could eat the rice (did not get it) and they were so nice when I asked them if they could please change their gloves as they put cheese on the order before mine. They were so nice they even opened a new lettuce - the manager offered to me that sometimes the cheese can get mixed up in the lettuce. The chicken does not contain any dairy so it was a great choice - tacos!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7815241512267086144-9063842846058009487?l=vegancarnivorous.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Linda B.
