Vegetarian
- Question
- Hello, I am 42 years old. I've CF (pre-transplantation exams done but not yet listed), no malnutrition problem, but diabetes.
I would like to considerably reduce my consommation of meat for ethical reasons (and only the meat in a 1st time), replacing it with vegetable meat type Veggifood etc ..
My question is simple: is it possible (even if of some constraints?) Or is it a heresy, medically speaking?
Thank you. - Answer
- Hello,
It's possible to reduce its consumption of meat in the context of a CF or a diabetes, but the risk of deficiency exists (iron, vitamin B12 ...).
Some combinations of foods are more recommended than others to overcome the lack of protein, and moreover, such changes are to be put in place little by little in order not to induce weight loss or an imbalance of your diabetes.
I invite you to seek advice from the doctor and / or dietician of your CF Center. They will guide you and help you in your approach.
Best regards,
