    Trapped Gas Bloating

    I have Crohn’s and went through the Low FODMAP process with a dietitian. There is an app (that lists all the foods) that you can install in your phone which I use often when not sure. The issue is that the problem does not seem to be static, meaning that foods that used to cause me the symptoms...

    Vegetarian concern about Tofu

    I started drinking the equivalent of 1 cup of soy milk and about 100 grams of tofu a day. Based on your data, I think that I can safely assume that this is way below any risky levels. Correct?

    Vegetarian concern about Tofu

    Thank you all for the great advise. I knew about (and read) the China Study and the relationship between consumption of whole foods and chronic diseases, like Crohn’s and others. Partially based on it, already for years I have not eating red meat, chicken, turkey, etc. But I have continued to...

    Vegetarian concern about Tofu

    Unfortunately I suffer from Crohn’s, meaning I have a chronic intestinal inflammation. Crohn’s is a tough problem when it comes to vegetables and there is no rule about it. You have to find the offensive vegetables by trial. In my case brand, lentils and nuts are tough, but surprisingly I have...

    Vegetarian concern about Tofu

    Thank you for the input. How much beans, lentils, etc., do you eat daily? I eat lentils, but in small amounts, 1 tbs, as part of my lunch which typically is a cup or rice mixed with buckwheat with 1 cup of assorted vegetables - broccoli, corn, kale, ginger, eggplant, etc. that I stir fry with a...

    Vegetarian concern about Tofu

    Beans, and to a lesser degree, lentils are very hard on my stomach. No matter what I do, degass them, as they explain, etc. I suffer from upset stomach. The same from nuts, if I eat a decent amount. That is not the case with Tofu, which I eat about 3-4oz daily. What I have been doing instead...

    Hi, my name is Erwin and I am transitioning to a plant based diet. I am not there yet because I am struggling with eating enough proteins. Already for many years I have not eaten meat, chicken, etc.; however, fish, eggs and cheese almost daily. That has been my main source of proteins. About two...
