A member asked:
I have schizo-affective bipolar type disorder. is it ok to eat a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet? i heard you could mess up your mental health. is that true

Diet: I am unaware that any particular diet is better or worse for bipolar. However, a low glycemic diet is good as this levels your blood sugar. You can still eat low glycemic and participate in lacto-ove vegetarian diet. Try adding glyconutrients to your diet too. See if that helps, http://mtex.it/jt3n7lm8

Ok: The lacto-ovo veg diet is usually ok, but make sure you get enough proteins.
