I'm helping an underweight friend on vegan and gluten free diet. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proper nutrition: Your friend can consume more proteins through milk and milk products and diet rich in vegetables, rice and fruits with vitamin supplements.If she has been on gluten free diet for sometime and is asymptomatic she should stay on it if she has celiac disease.
