A member asked:
Is being vegan the healthiest? i used to be vegetarian but i became vegan because i think i have milk allergies! any suggestions and diet tips?

Clarify milk allergy: An allergist can assess accurately for milk allergy using either skin test or a blood test. Frequently it is better to identify a specific allergy to determine if you truly need to avoid it rather than guessing. Certainly, one does not need to drink milk or eat dairy to be healthy as there are other foods rich in calcium and vitamin d.
