Thank you , your advice is very helpful I do have regular blood checks for ironb 12 and other essential vitamins . Last year I stopped my vegan diet because I was anemic and in such bad shape that I needed to be on an iron drip for a few days . After I recovered from that I decided to go for vegetarian and my bloodwork has been good since . But it ' s just not aligned with my ethics , eating dairy makes me feel sad for cows and goats so I don ' t want to continue . I can eat tofu and soy thankfully , I seem not to have much response to that which I am grateful for . So that ' s one good protein source . I also seem to be ok with chickpeas , falafel or hummus never caused a problem . But it ' s the only pulse or bean I tolerate . What does your typical diet consist of ? For me staples are oatmeal , whole wheat bread , potatoes , starchy and non fibrous veg , lots of fruit and soups . Safe foods when flaring are mostly white starches , soups and stews or non spicy curries . I do tolerate nuts very well , thank you for the tip . I can of course eat more peanut butter or other nut butters for protein
