Re: how safe is being a vegetarian long term for some it can cause health issues

Soya protein is one the worse things to set my Crohn's off. Even the smallest amount will cause a lot whole lot of pain for day, two or three afterwards. Also yeast extract will do the same. On top of that I have to avoid salad stuff and can't eat a lot of certain veg.

Though I find vegetarian food when done well with a bit of imagination can be a lot better tasting that a primarily meat dish. So even if I wanted to be a vegetarian I don't think my body would be able to withstand it.

My ex was a vegetarian for quite some time, I do remember she was tired a lot of the time, and had to have certain vit supplements. I found out that I was intolerant to soya protein because at the time we ate a lot of those Beanfeast meals packs eg spagbol mixes.
