A member asked:
What kind of diet should such people take so as to prevent further loss of bone mineral. i'm a vegetarian?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ca and vitamin D: Strict vegan diets can be deficient in b vitamins (including b12) plus calcium and vitamin d. If you drink milk or eat dairy you're in better shape. Eating eggs and poultry (if you do) are also good. Talk with a good registered dietitian about what you need to supplement.
