Seeking Vegan friendly doctor

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a repeat topic.

 

I've been vegan for about 3 years now, and I just got back from my (omni) doctor

appointment and I'm mortified. She wants me to eat whey protein and steak! I

had a full physical and all my blood and cholesterol levels are within normal

range, but she feels that because I am vegan that I am somehow more deficient

B12, Folic acid and Protein (of course). She is Indian, and her mother is

vegetarian, so I thought she would be more open and knowledgeable about the

topic, however, I think her opinions are set as a meat eater. She's even

against eating nuts!

 

Before I continue on with all that she has prescribed to enrich my diet with

more protein, B12 and folic acid, I'd like to get a second opinion because I

believe she is wrong. I am very careful with my diet, I make sure its balanced

and healthy, and don't want to be taking things I don't feel are necessary,

especially if they aren't vegan.

 

So if anyone out there knows of a vegan friendly doctor, preferably in the South

Bay, please let me know. I am willing to travel, but do prefer someone close by

if possible. Thanks everyone!
