Curious- how many of us are

[Brushwork]

Vegan

Vegetarian

Omnivore

I’m vegan, and don’t have sugar.

Just curious actually, as I guess I have assumed the majority will be Omnivore.

[helixhelix]

I’m Flexitarian.... which is basically means I mainly eat plants, but have fish or meat every now and then.

It’s not quite the same as being an omnivore, as the balance is 95% vegetarian, whereas omnivores are more likely to eat much more animal protein.

I am a meat eater.xxx

[Niao]

I'm vegan.

[Boxerlady]

Omnivore

[Niao]

Just to add, I am vegan where ever possible, diet,clothes, toiletries etc. However with regards to medications, I am where at all possible, but not where it isn't! Haven't even looked into the ingredients in my RA meds.Have periods when I don't have sugar too, but now unfortunately is not one of them! Would like to blame the prednisolone but it's just me, can't stop eating!

[Lolabridge]

I’m an omnivore but eating far more vegetarian meals than I used to. Advised to manage my unstable blood sugar levels with eating some protein, ideally at every meal, so it’s difficult to do that without eating fish, meat or eggs.

[Pippy25]

I have been a lacto vegetarian all my life (I have an intolerance to meat and fish).

[Fruitandnutcase]

Omnivore - mainly chicken, fish, vegetables fruit, nuts and seeds.

[Ruth12345 in reply to Fruitandnutcase]

Me too

[springcross]

I'm an omnivore but I don't eat that much meat.

[Marionfromhappydays]

I was vegetarian for 16 years but stopped when I was pregnant with my eldest daughter (just had overwhelming craving for cod which is really weird as I hate seafood).

I still don't eat certain meats but I wasn't a very healthy vegetarian, ate alot of cheese sandwiches and not alot else 😲

I need a huge change in my diet as bread makes my IBS bonkers lately

Apologies for the indepth look into my diet 😄 sure you are all thrilled to read about my IBS ha ha x

[Niao in reply to Marionfromhappydays]

I get that totally! I wasn't either particularly a healthy vegetarian when I was, barr some long stints of good living in the days I had willpower!Now vegan, I'm certainly not perfect at that either!

As for IBS, I still ,after practically a lifetime eat all the wrong things, knowing rightly what all the good things are!

[GranAmie in reply to Niao]

sourdough bread may be easier 4u to digest; kefir for yr microbiome too' there are vegan versions, based on fruit, i think]. all the best 2u.

[Niao in reply to GranAmie]

Great suggestions , thank you.

[Gnarli]

Flexitarian here. It's probably coincidence but a year into RD it was as if a switch was flipped and I suddenly couldn't tolerate eating meat. I can't give up bovril though

[Pippy25 in reply to Gnarli]

Wonder what it was that triggered your not being able to tolerate meat all of a sudden. RD is a funny old thing and you do wonder how complex it can be. In my case I have never been able to eat meat or fish which for some is fascinating but for me I have always got on with it.

[Gnarli in reply to Pippy25]

Goodness alone knows. I've not eaten fish since I was tiny because it's foul. With meat I always hated the smell of it cooking

[rounder]

Omnivore here, but we have a couple of veggie days a week. Our daughter is veggie so I try to make sure at least sometimes we all eat the same.

[lily2003]

Been vegan since long before diagnosis. Also, I usually only have a little sugary treat on weekend evenings alone (for example, a little vegan chocolate pudding or a few vegan cookies), but this week it’s been every evening. I’ll blame it on Christmas spirit.

[Smelliott]

Been a vegetarian most of my life, but interestingly I was a vegan when I was first diagnosed (although I hasten to add I don't blame veganism at all!)

I briefly experimented with eating meat a few years ago out of curiosity, but couldn't really see what all the fuss was about and gradually slid back into full vegetarianism.

[patsymay13]

I eat a varied diet any thing in moderation but luckily I don’t have a sweet tooth 😁

[Nessa28]

Flexitarian , mostly fish if I do it anything. But I have been both vegetarian and vegan . I wasn’t particularly good being a vegan as the substitutes for somethings are awful . 🤗

[Carol41]

As I am severely disabled I cannot cook or do any house work. I eat whatever I am given.

[Mmrr]

I eat a lot of fish, dairy produce fruit and vegetables. Occasionally I have chicken or beef.

[GranAmie]

Flexi too. Mainly veg, nuts, fish, salads but also dairy - cheese, kefir. Salivate at the thought of sprouts, so may be low on vit K LOL
