He has never eaten vegetables in all the time I have known him (17 years) because they give him a terrible upset stomach. I worry because I know that veg is pretty much the most important food nutrition-wise and even though he is not in dire straits at the moment I am scared his not eating veg will catch up with him and make him unwell. It is not possible for him to eat them, or even drink veg juice to compensate because he cannot handle the stomach problems he gets when he does. What I want to know is what should he do about this? Is there some other thing he can have to substitute veg? Will anything bad happen to him? Also, if there is anyone out there who is in the same boat and cannot eat veg, what do you do about it?

I would say this is a question for a gastroenterologist - someone who specializes in stomach and intestinal problems. I'm wondering if he is a person who responds by creating so much stomach acid that he becomes ill, in which case some of the proton-pump inhibitors might be helpful. Either way, he should definitely see a doctor; vegetables are definitely important in one's diet.

Never heard that before. All vegetables? Wow.. Hopefully he has visited a MD regarding this one. Could be psychosomatic. Maybe as a kid he had an aversion towards veggies. He could get a serving size.. 1/4-1/2 cup size of veggies..
