A member asked:

Hep c, alpha 1 deficient, and hemi cp}... would a vegan diet be beneficial and advisable for someone with this health status?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vegan: It won't be a problem if you take this vegan diet for 3-5 days and everything is OK. That said, if you cannot tolerate the vegan diet either on day one or a few more days, stop taking it. I would appreciate learning from you regarding vegan diet or not.
