Be careful about omitting animal foods from the diet. It’s my layman’s understanding that B12 only comes from animal sources. But you should confirm this independently.

There are also new perspectives on short-chain fatty acids that might be worth investigating as it concerns the fat-free, vegan diet.

It might make sense to get a blood test to check the B and magnesium levels, and also to see a dietician. For some reason, traditional medicine doesn’t give much attention to the diet.

Yes, thanks I’ll keep an eye on it. I do add efa’s in flax/nuts etc and take a B12 supplement. the fat free... just means I’m not adding any oil that doesnt naturally occur.

My daughter is not a vegan, but she does eat my dinners which means at least 50% of her food unprocessed.
