sabrina2- I am not sure of your back-group and assume you are on this blog to discuss GD. Are you afraid of cilantro because you will be allergic? I am not aware that cilantro is an allergic food, but would like information on that if so. I am allergic to many contacts and have lots of food sensitivities. Yet red meat, all meat except processed meat and poultry are safe for me. Only certain fish. I am not sure how I would get my protein if I have to give up meat and poultry as dairy, beans and legumes are out. Eggs are safe. How do you get your protein?
