Okay, to be clear:
No animal fats?
Soooo... No meat, you mean? Can I have bone marrow broth?
Can I have some meats?
I'm guessing no spicy food or fried food, right?
Olive oil = unsure
Peanut butter = unsure
Definitely avoid = hydrogenated vegetable oils + margarine
Critical support to stomach ulcers furthering the vegan cause. 🫡 /s
On a serious note, it's as good an opportunity as any to try out delicious plant-based recipes. I recommend checking out https://makeitdairyfree.com/recipes. They have a lot of anti-inflammatory recipes, all allergens and sensitivities clearly listed, and many fairly easy/quick healthy recipes with a lot of variety.
Hope you feel better soon.
What the fuck?
I like veganism and always respected the movement since way back, but you think that this could be related?
Anti-inflammatory, eh?
And these are your recipes?
Could the inflammation affect the ulcer or cause it?
Oh yeah, and maybe get rid of the allergens.
Tbh, I do like plant-based meat, though maybe it's still disgusting to you...
It was just light-hearted jest (hence the /s), but maybe in poor taste. My bad.
Regarding the recipes, I was going off of what you and @Maeve@lemmygrad.ml were mentioning regarding low-fat, easy-on-the-stomach foods which is why I recommended that website since it has quite a few recipes that I think would be suitable.
I'm no doctor and I don't know about stomach ulcers specifically, I was just recommending food that is pretty easy on the stomach in a general sense.
They're not my recipes, I just think they're pretty good and well-labelled. They also have a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thenarddogcooks
I don't mind plant-based mock-meats at all, I eat them occasionally (though if they're super-realistic, it does put me off a bit).
I think if you have a sensitive stomach right now it's still probably better to eat whole foods since processed stuff tends to have a lot of salt and fat in it, which might not be helpful, but I'm not sure.
OH
No, it's fine!
You weren't in the wrong AT ALL, good comrade.
I was just wondering if they were genuinely related, is all.
Gotcha!
Thank you!
I'll try to do more research on what counts as "processed." Please no MAGA shit if you recommend me anything, but yeah, I'll do my own research, of course. You know how labels and buzz words get misused, of course.
Oh yeah, I definitely agree there. The way people rail against "processed" food like it has some sort of malignant metaphysical property pisses me off.
I meant more so in the sense that ready-made foods at the supermarkets like mock-meats and such tend to have a high salt and fat content (because the companies want them to taste good if you eat them as-is). Nothing you can't quickly check off the back of the package.
Tru enough.
I might be fine with the salt, though maybe not fat.
Does salt affect or cause stomach ulcers?
Not sure, but excessive salt is generally not very easy on the stomach.
So avoid salt. Got it.
I'm no doctor, it's best to ask whoever gave you the diagnosis. But generally salt should be fine AFAIK, just not excessive amounts of salt.
Makes sense.
Some meats, like fish, are fairly low on fats, but you should avoid fatty foods in general. That includes peanut butter and the like, and fried stuff. Anything that's heavy to digest. Also try to eat lots of fruit if you can (but remove the skin on apples and such), and fruit juices in bad days where your stomach can't handle solid food.
Also, avoid milk and derivatives like the plague.
I could go for fish meat, like shrimp.
But frankly?
I could cut the meat entirely.
Might still keep the egg.
I like my eggs, ngl
That's not immoral, right?
Well, regardless, I think I want to go vegan, but we'll see about that later.
Avoid crustaceans, but for entirely different reasons. They're really dangerous for inflammations, including ulcers. When I say fish, I mean fish, either boiled in a stew or oven-cooked.
Probably is immoral from a vegan perspective, but I'm not adivising you to go vegan, only to take care of your health. I think going completely vegan while sick would be a terrible idea, but you do you.
I really don't believe fetuses are or can be people, just saying... 😅😅
The case against eggs specifically isn't about killing a potential life,
Ethically It's more about the suffering of the hens in factory farms being exploited for their eggs their whole life only to be slaughtered afterwards.
Environmentally, it's about animal products in general being a less efficient source of calories than plants, and so contributing more to climate change overall.
Human health wise, its about a few things.
If you just go vegetarian and cut out all meat you're still making a huge difference on the environmental and personal health side. I'd personally recommend going vegan long term and cutting out all animal protein (eggs and dairy too), but I don't think people have to go from omnivore to vegan in one go. Doing a sudden shift when someone isn't ready can actually make them give up on veganism because of a bad experience.
The key thing is to learn to cook for yourself, explore vegan recipes, and find yourself a good set of staple meals you enjoy with appropriate amounts of fiber, nutrients, and protein.
Any, erm, alternatives to eggs? Also, good point about the hens. Oh, and the climate change too. And eggs may (potentially) give you avian flu or h1n1, etc.? Interesting... And it increases antibiotic resistance in yourself, right?
Got it. I have a family of heart problems.
How does veganism or vegetarianism affect you health and mind-wise compared to before? I need a few anecdotes and studies here, thank you, but I'll do my own research, of course.
The vegan argument over eggs (and milk etc) is not over the egg's rights (they're usually unfertilized anyway), but over cruel conditions over the chicken producing that egg, or more radical positions over whether humans have the right to explore animals in general. I'm not vegan, and though I support vegans I strongly advise against going vegan while sick or mixing up your motivations for massive dietary changes. For instance, Oreo is technically vegan and a common dietary bridge for starting vegans, but your ulcer will get infinitely worse if you make that a usual snack in your life. Vodka is technically vegan...
Until you get better, focus on eating healthy food, not necessarily "moral" food. Its going to be a lot harder to become vegan if you end up needing to surgically remove a portion of your stomach walls.
Good points overall.
Also, Oreo? As in, the cookie?
Do I keep eating soup broth or yogurt?
Yeah, the cookie. It has no milk or eggs and it's a reasonably cheap snack for starter vegans still adapting their diet.
Probably, yeah. I think there are some light low-fat yogurts out there, but I personally don't have any experience with that.
Meats are fine and small amounts of fats. I wouldn't be drinking a gallon of whole milk weekly, or slathering butter on everything. Idk about challenge it butter/olive oil spread, spreadable cheeses, etc. maybe a little ghee on toast occasionally. Your ... Here, actually: https://www.verywellhealth.com/what-can-i-eat-if-i-have-a-peptic-ulcer-1742154
Idk about live active cultures in Greek yogurt, I'd look for live and active content labels, so I can't couch veracity for the whole article, but at a glance, it seems decent.
Thank you!
Okay, so, basically, avoid dairy, at least as much as possible?
I just had some Lactaid and non-whole milk.
As a side note, a lot of people who think they are lactose intolerant seem fine when having organic milk. Maybe they're growth hormone/ milk from antibiotic diet fed cows intolerant. 🤔
Still, what you say is interesting.
I have been interested in veganism for some time too.
Oh fuck, really?
I need more info on this.
So... no anti-Lactose intolerance or Lactaid milk or whatever?
Also, where do I acquire "oranic milk"?
Please no "raw milk" BS, plox.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I shall look into this. If you have more information available, help out, otherwise, I'm doing moar reseaerch, thank you!
