The main types of vegetarian are ovo-lacto vegetarian, meaning someone who doesn’t eat meat, poultry, or fish but does eat eggs and dairy, and vegan, someone who doesn’t eat any animal products.

There are many benefits to vegetarian/vegan diets. Modern animal agriculture (factory farms) is extremely damaging to the environment and also inhumane for the animals. The meat, milk, and eggs it produces is not as nutritious as traditional pasture-based methods of livestock farming either.

Diets high in animal products are also associated with many serious health problems. Personally I think the animal products themselves are not the problem as much as the sheer quantity of animal products eaten in the Standard American Diet (double the amount consumed even 50 years ago) and the poor quality of modern animal products due to the harmful practice of grain-finishing and routine feeding of antibiotics and growth hormones.

Speaking of routine feeding of antibiotics, antibiotics fed to healthy livestock have been implicated in the rise of antibiotic resistant diseases such as MRSA. 70% of all antibiotics used in the US are fed to HEALTHY livestock to make them gain weight faster and keep them healthy in overcrowded, stressful conditions.

Eating a healthy, balanced vegetarian diet has no health risks whatsoever. (Eating an unhealthy vegetarian diet obviously does, but not any more than an unhealthy omnivorous diet.) Vegans need to be careful to get enough vitamin B12, which is only available naturally in animal products, but can be found in supplemented grains and other products now.

I’m personally an omnivore, but I average about 80-100% vegetarian meals in any given week, and a fair number of vegan meals as well, so I support both lifestyles fully.

You can take loads of soy products like soya milk, taufu, beans stuffs. To keep weight off, you can take grain/wheat/brown bread instead of white bread. Brown rice, rice etc.

Anyone with GI problems might be on a special diet. There are so many organs involved in the digestive system with the stomach being the one most likely to be involved. You also have the gallbladder that controls the amount of bile and the pancreas with controlling the insulin as you digest the food. Then after the food goes through these systems the colon then is the final breakdown with is like the waste system where the final food either gets used or disposed of through the rectum. The GI doctor will let you know whatever special diet if any you need to be on. Good luck and God Bless
