I was veg for two years a long time ago, but I've recently been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome as a result of my anxiety disorder and the antidepressants I'm on. Stopping those is not an option, nor will it help my stomach much.
Lactose and I are not friends. I can handle probiotic yoghurts and small amounts of cheese, as well as milk in small amounts IF my stomach has not been acting up and if I take several Lactaid pills.
Soy and I are not friends. At all. I don't know for sure, but I believe I am allergic to it. I get incredible gas and cramps from even the smallest amount of soy milk or tofu.
Other legumes are mostly ok, as are most beans. I still have to watch it, though.
I am interested in cutting back on the amount of meat I eat. Unfortunately because of my condition it seems I have very few options.
Help me please? Is this feasible? Is there a healthy way to do this?
