– What was your first thought when you saw Rido’s eruption?
– Allergy! For some reason, this time I didn’t go to pulmonologists and immunologists to do blood tests, skin prick samples, but decided to find a solution myself. Up to ten months, Rid only drank my milk, then I started breastfeeding. I tried not to run out of protein in my own diet. I really enjoyed the variety of dairy products. When I was worried about the Rid rash, I started searching for information on Facebook, I found some kind of herbal nutrition group. I looked around, read what they were eating. I liked some of their recipes and the idea that you can survive without food of animal origin. I decided to start a revolution. I went with my husband and I told him: since tomorrow we are vegans. And then I did a very serious overhaul of the refrigerator, I handed the remains of meat and fish over to my parents. Since I have had facial skin problems since I was a teenager, I decided that this nutrition experiment would also benefit me.
– Experts say that if a child is born with genes that cause allergies, they are more likely to have an allergic disease. If you don’t have altered genes, you can live in any environment, eat a variety of foods. So has a person already been born with a predisposition to non-allergic disease or illnesses?
– Maybe, I do not know. Not interested My oldest daughter Milija was allergic to wool, coconut fiber (she slept on a mattress stuffed with them). Ride had problems with food. As soon as I saw the spots on his face, I made a difference. Frankly, I didn’t even search online for information about allergies and their causes. The first thought that shot me in the head that time was … food. I read that in young children, the most common allergic reaction of the immune system is to milk protein. Fats and carbohydrates are not allergenic. So I decided to try to change the eating habits of the family.
– How did you feed your husband and daughter Milija until then?
– We ate what everyone did. We were omnivores (laughs). We only limited the sugar for Milia, because the girl who multiplied it immediately became feverish, tired. Now, after changing the diet, we sweeten the food with dates, raisins, bananas. The most interesting thing about this experiment was that we drastically changed our eating habits, in one day. Now is the fifth year that our family has eaten only vegan food. Exactly a month after we went vegan during the day, there were no more ugly spots on Rido’s face. The boy recovered at sight. I concluded that no animal protein was suitable for him. So far, I only use herbs in my kitchen.
We are a family of five indistinguishable people who enjoy small things, support each other, share beautiful words and learn to live in a friendly way.
– Why didn’t you go to the specialists, did you do any allergy test to Rida?
– When Milija’s first daughter turned out to be allergic to wool, the doctor prescribed an antibiotic ointment. I thought Ryd would probably offer the same … I didn’t want to treat my children with antibiotics and hormones. Changing the diet improved the well-being of the children. The ugly red bumps disappeared from my face. The husband has heart problems. Because in the past there was a weakness out of nowhere, the heart was beating … Now the whole family has given up meat, eggs, shellfish, milk and its products, fish, gelatin. Although I never thought I would say that, today I say: it is easy to live without them. Most importantly, my children are healthy. What else does mom need?
– What is your family’s daily diet plan: breakfast, lunch and dinner? Which of the healthy products do children like the most?
– Our family’s breakfast is usually banana ice cream served in coconut bowls with a variety of healthy sparks. (The aesthetics of food delivery is also very important to me.) For lunch, we generally choose a fruit cocktail with fiber or protein. For dinner, I usually do something with legumes: chickpeas, lentils, beans. Rice, buckwheat and potatoes still dominate our daily diet. We make stews, hummus, vegetables, salads, we eat sandwiches or other dishes. What does the family like the most? Unambiguous: Banana Ice Cream! Niam … With coconut flakes, cinnamon, cocoa or dates.
– What advice would you give to mothers whose children also have allergies?
– For mothers whose children may also be food allergic, I would like to suggest a change in diet first. Try to abandon animal products. After all, there are now so many healthier food choices, information, and alternatives. Don’t be afraid to take risks – after all, not only your children but also their own health depend on eating habits. Do not forget to drink a lot of water, we are also very happy to do it, we have become used to children from an early age. Sometimes we have to make our own homemade bread with hummus, and then stretch two liters a pitcher of water with ginger, oranges, or lemons. Our children only know and recognize water, even homemade apple juice.
– Since you changed your diet, have you rarely bought something at a produce store?
– We buy fruits, berries, vegetables, grain products. Everything that can be made healthy at home. Sometimes my parents treat their children with vegan yogurts. And I do more of everything myself. Helping children. We bake cakes, cookies, healthy breads. Shall we go to coffee shops? Na … We have some favorite vegan coffees, we only visit them on a special occasion. The last time it was September 1 was when Milia started attending a high school class. Furthermore, it is now difficult for us to reach them. When Dan, the third child, was born, we no longer fit five in our four-seater. So we do a tour when dad borrows seven people. On the other hand, I see a plate in a cafe and start thinking about how I would cook it myself. I don’t know worse. Or maybe even tastier. So why spend it then?
I see a plate in a cafe and start thinking about how I would cook it myself. I don’t know worse. Or maybe even tastier.
– The change in family eating habits also inspired her new activity: writing a culinary blog “Vegan Pepper”. It is true?
– Yes, I started writing it at that time …
– His heroes are your family. Try everything yourself, check it out first. Introduce your family members.
– We are an indistinguishable family of five people who enjoy little things, support each other, share beautiful words and learn to live in a friendly way. Man Nerius is a computer science doctor. He is my best friend, I can talk to him about everything. Together we grow three small sauces: seven Milia, almost five Rida and almost two Danish. My activities are very simple at first glance, but nothing second (laughs). I am a true housewife who enjoys being at home with children. Together with them we cook, we drive, we go to the patio to play. And when you fall asleep at lunch, I’m already sitting at the computer and writing recipes for my Vegan Pepper blogs. I still sell organic coconut bowls online, the ones we eat from and believe me, the food is so much tastier. Many do not realize how else you can guess and work when three children turn around the house. When writing, I find the moment I fell asleep (during lunch and at night) and doing everything together is always more fun.
