I'm wondering going vegan.
The only time I've been 100% vegan, was on an extreamly restricted diet to try to find out what I'm allergic to (didn't give any new answers). So this is new to me, even though I've been thinking of going vegan several times.
But I'm starting to be convinced that dairy products aren't any good for my health. Egg is not a problem at all. I only use them as "glue" in burgers, as I don't like the taste of it at all.
I have problem with food allergies. Gluten and kidney beans are the biggest problems. Some people tells me it will be a big problem beeing allergic to those two things, and beeing a vegan. Since I will lack two importen food sorces. So I get a bit stressed sometimes by that part. The only thing I can see can be a problem, is B vitamins (special B12), but I take supliments every day, and all my bloodtest have been fine. I have to take a bloodtest every year beacuse of other things, and then I always ask them to check vitamins, iron etc. The only thing I miss i vitamin D (we have too litle sunshine here...). But since my dairy and grain loving omnifriend lacks B12, and I'm not, it's obvious not that a big problem...
But I guess there are other beans than kidney beans that I maybe can eat? I have two big stores nearby that are selling all kind of beans and lentils. So they have probably most of it. I have to start to use more lentils now, and I really need to learn how to cook them... But what kind of beans do you think I can try to eat? I can eat green beans, lentils, peas and chickpeas.
So. Is there any cons at all becoming a vegan with gluten allergies? Or anything I have to think of?
I'm really shouldn't listen to other people about this, and just become a vegan... I only got a bit stressed about the whole gluten thing...
