Default Re: Going and Staying Veg with Allergies/Intolerances/Celiacs

Hi! My name is Annie Beth. I have celiac and so does my 2 year old daughter. I also have my 5 year old son on a gluten free diet because I know he has a genetic predisposition towards it. I would love to be vegan (or at least vegitarian) for both ethical and health reasons. I do believe it is the diet we were originally designed to consume. Only problem is, all three of us are underweight. My daughter just hit 22lbs and she turned 2 in April. My son lost body mass between his 4 and 5 year old appt, and my doctor recently told me I need to gain at least 5lbs. I have osteopenia pretty bad from the celiac (almost osteoporosis), and I'm only 29. My 2 year old has a dairy protein intolerance, so we were completely dairy free until recently. However, with her low weight and my osteo issues, the doctors really want us to re-introduce dairy. I've done a vegan diet before, but had to quit because of weight loss. Does anyone know how to maintain a gluten free/vegan diet while still maintaining or gaining weight? I don't buy into the ascertain that one must consume dairy to get enough calcium, but it sure makes me look like a wacko to avoid dairy while having such low bone density.
