I've been having issues with low blood sugar lately, and from reading back posts, the best thing I can tell that I can do is to eat every 2-3 hours and to try to have protein with meals/snacks. The problem is I'm a vegetarian, and I can't have soy, so I'm kinda lost as to what else to eat. I have one PB&J a day, but if I eat more peanut butter than that, I have problems. Anyone have any ideas? The only thing I can think of is egg whites, but I don't eat at home, I have to take meals to campus with me, so I can't really do those on a regular basis. thanks

Are you Vegitarian or Vegan?
Add protein powder to soups, cereals and shakes....I think there is a rice one?
Beans...all kinds... you can make soups, veg chili etc.
Fine chopped nuts (just a few)...you could also add those to a smoothie or throw them into some of Heather's breads in her EFI book.
If you can do seafood in your diet salmon is great.
Here is a GREAT link with LOTS of info.... charts that list all the posible proteins!! web page

I also read somewhere that almonds -, which are listed as having the highest protein count of all the nuts - are a SF food. So that is good for the IBS diet.

I'm vegetarian too I'd recommend getting egg protein powder. That would probably have the least chance of you having any problems. It's pretty easy, just take a scoop in water and voila! I recommend the brand Health N Fit, it's really easy to stir(no clumps!) and isn't too bad tasting. Aside from that, can you tolerate beans? I used to not be able to, but now that I take an SFS everyday I can. How about a hummus? You can eat it on crackers or in a sandwhich. How about Quorn products? That's fake meat, but it's not made of soy, they're sooo yummy! Actually I think they have a tiny bit of dairy, but it's never bothered me.

No prob, a lot of people get confused on the fish issue, especially since there are some people who eat fish and claim to be veg! The best way to think of it is- Vegetarians don't eat anything poops.

LOL that reminds me of a few years ago when we went over to Shane's Cousin's house for Thanksgiving....well, he and his wife are both Veg but they made a Turkey for everyone else. And AFTER dinner...he made this comment...."If it has ever had an @$$ we don't eat it"  It was just too funny!!
