As some of you may know I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This has messed up my metabolism so much that the smell of meat cooking is nauseating. While meatless burgers seemed the perfect answer most contain one, or more, of my numerous allergens. Finally I discovered Boca Burgers original flavor. These are quite acceptable substitutes for hamburger if pan fried although rather insipid if prepared in the microwave. I would like to try another flavor but unfortunately Boca, like most everyone else, is addicted to using eggs in their products. My advice, if you are vegan or vegetarian, try them all. Then let me know what I am missing. LOL If you are allergic to eggs there are only two you can try. If you are allergic to soy avoid them. If you are allergic to both you have my sympathy.

I know it's hard to find foods without eggs--my kids have numerous food sensitivities and eggs are on their list. I certainly feel for you about the CFS. It can be so rough and so misunderstood, not only for others around you but also by many healthcare providers.

I'm a meat-eater myself, but one of my very good friends is a vegetarian, and she swears by these burgers. Original is her fave choice, but I know she's tried a few different options. If I can get a few recommendations from her, maybe I'll post them here later!

I have CFS too and BOY does it stink. I love these but I am not vegan. I just like them because they are healthy and taste good. I have tried them all and I like the ones with the veggies inside. Yum!

I have Sjogen's Syndrome - also an autoimmune disease. I am embarking on a mostly raw food plan (not 100% but adding lots more raw food and fruits and veggies that Arthritis.org says to avoid!- I don't really know what helps and doesn't. In health, Jo
