Paula's link was basically stating that the H.A. Diet is a hoax! I'm not too surprised. I didn't follow it as it was composed of a lot of raw fruits and veggies. We IBS-ers cannot do that!

I can eat soy with no problems at all. But I've been a vegetarian for 12 years so my body is used to it! No, I don't eat chicken, fish or eggs.

I have met with a nutritionist to go over my diet. She gave me the stats for the vitamin/mineral requirements that I needed to find alternative non-animal sources for. I have to be honest and say that is is challenging!

For example, to get all of my calcium and B12, I need to drink three 250ml glasses of fortified soy milk every day. No problem. I make smoothies with it. Yum!

I can get iron from lots of foods: beans, tofu, tempeh, molasses, etc. http://www.scienzavegetariana.it/nutrizione/vrg/iron1.htm#table1

And protein from many of the same sources.

B12

As you might have guessed, I would LOVE to become a nutritionist and specilaize in vegetarianism.

Ask anything you'd like!

** I should also state that I get my iron levels checked every year and have yet to become deficient.
