I stopped eating processed food when I was told to strictly reduce salt intake after several bouts with vertigo. Then I realized I had a problem with lactose, so switched to lactose-free milk. My issues with digestion worsened and I began trying to discover which foods effected me. I tried a vegetarian diet which worked out well but didn't greatly relieve my indigestion. Then I tried to gradually increase to veganism. I switched to Almond milk in order to avoid dairy products. This was fine until one day I noticed on the list of nutritional ingredients how much fat it contains. So back to Lactaid. I decided to avoid gluten to see if that caused my problem and found my digestion greatly improved. So now I am working on a <br />gluten-free, lactose-free regime. This is probably the best it will get. I do eat eggs - so it's not really a vegan diet anymore. I rarely eat meat: occasionally fish or chicken so it's not strictly vegetarian either. I have fallen into the cracks, as I usually do on most any<br />issue. Enjoy your adventure with veganism - you will definitely find it a healthy way of eating. I realized how much my tastes have changed when after tasting a bite of my friends pastry, I gratefully went back to my delicious fruit salad. I mean, the fruit definitely tasted way better than the sugary, fatty pastry. My best friends are brown rice and sweet potatoes - yum!! Eating like this is more of a challenge where I live - cuz they dictate the dinner menu and further challenged by lack of ability and desire to spend time on food preparation....can't be bothered.....more later!!!
