What about rice protein powder? NAP has some, also health food stores. I know it is not the same as red meat, but it should be easy to introduce in a vegetarian household. The key is getting rid of avoids, and keeping up the appropriate protein. Personally, I'd get the best quality beef burgers I could "out" from time to time (there is nearly always one place that prides itself on good beef). (No, I know you won't get pure grass fed, but this is an emergency situation, of sorts.) We (two O's) have this problem visiting our grandchildren (vegetarian household) for any length of time--we try to have lunch out. In the lesser of evils category again, we eat a good bit of buffalo yogurt when necessary without the tell-tale signs of cow dairy ingestion. I'm sure it still has lectins, but it does not make us feel bad (immediately). There is also a product call QUORN, vegetarian, a mushroom relative (distant), but I do not know the status for BTD. Good luck! |
