So this is something I struggle with heavily. I love the idea of veganism and I am considering going full on vegan. I am almost vegan as it is, but that is because my body will not correctly digest any meat, dairy, eggs, pretty much anything from an animal, without stomach pain. I believe that my stomach issues fuel from when I was a baby I was always on antibiotics for ear infections and I've been told that, that can cause stomach issues later on in life. Any ideas on how to go full on vegan? Animal products I'll still eat include honey, little bit of cheese, whey proteins and I believe that is about it.

    Before someone jumps on you you're going to be mostly Plant based not vegan....vegan are ethical and would not partake in anything animal based to be truly vegan you couldn't have honey or milk products or have leather, wool, certain makeups and medicines. Google and the library are your friend here to give you an idea of how to get what nutrients etc you need from the foods you are going to eat

    If you want to be vegan stop eating animals or anything that comes from animals.

    You can get vegan cheese and protein powders and I use date nectar instead of honey.
