Lets be realistic you can't get everything your body needs from fruits & veggies. Thats just not gonna happen. If you are allergic to MSG its safe to say you cant eat 90% of processed food thats on the shelves at the grocery store. Basically you are looking at organic fruits and veggies which means huge lack of protien among other nutrients. And really you can not be mad at the food companies for a choice that you made. I know its gotta suck but no one forced you to stop eating meat. I am also very aware of what I put in my body - I do my best to only eat organically grown food (during the summer most of our veggies come from our garden) - nothing processed here I love to cook, so everything my family eats is from scratch (never out of a box) I have so many organic cookbooks its not even funny. I do not add salt or any other types of additives to meat or anything else.

I really hope you find something that works for you so you are able to stay healthy. I see nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, but if it is making you sick I think you need to find another option.

Curious...I have a few vegetarian friends, some of which eat fish - do you eat fish? or no critter meat whatsoever???

One more ? - do you take vitamin/mineral supplements? If so, what kind?

I wish you the best of luck in getting healthy
Unfortunately, I eat two types of shellfish. Shrimp and scallops, which give me the iron, amino acids, and proteins I need.. I hate eating the buggers but they don't make me sick and doctors orders.

I take protein and iron supplements. And a children's multivitamin. I also eat a large amount of veggies that attribute to proteins and irons. I also eat a lot of rice and beans for protein! :]

Thank you, I'm doing my best here.
