About 2 years ago Cis started throwing up after she had eaten, usually only when she was sick. I experimented with her food a little and found she seemed better without meat so we stopped giving her meat. She did better for quite a while and then started throwing up again. We went to her g-tube dr. to rule out that issue and then to her GI dr. She ran a bunch of food allergy tests and they all came back normal (shocker!). But she said she could still have a sensitivity to milk. So we tried going sans-milk and no more throwing up! Apparently her body can't digest animal products anymore.
So for the past 6 months or more Cicily has been eating a vegan diet. She gets her usual mixed grains, veggies, fruit, flaxseed, oil, and salt. But now she also gets almonds and beans in place of meat and milk. I do toss in an egg from her own chickens now and again and she seems to digest that alright.
Now not only is Cicily a healthy eater, she's an animal and environmentally friendly eater as well.

See, that's what I need : a vegan diet ! But I need someone to come make the food for me or else I won't do it. Do you want to be my new chef ; ) Are you eating vegan too ? You are super skinny mini sister !
I think a lot of us would do better eating vegan. I am just too lazy to do it! Thanks for being an example Cicily...you always eat your veggies! I was just thinking of Cicily today and feeling so grateful to have her in our family. I know I don't express it enough...but we love her so!
