Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Hi all- Just wanted to get some feedback. We just moved and I had to find another family doctor. Our last doctor insisted that my 2 1/2 year old daughter be tested for anemia because she doesn't eat meat. I told her that our diet is very well balanced but she strongly recommended the test. Of course, she wasn't. Now I have to take my daughter in to see a new doctor because she has been having on and off stomachaches and digestive problems lately. I know what they are going to say! " It's because she is a vegetarian. " We live in an area that is very meat oriented.(Unfortunately) There are steakhouses everywhere you look. So I know our " diet " is going to be under fire when we visit the doctor tomarrow. Any suggestions? I'm not sure if there are suggestions for this, I'm just anticipating a problem. I've been a vegetarian for 17 years and my daughter has been one since before she was born. She has only been sick with a cold once since she was born. I want to be prepared for any comments. Unfortunately, this was the only doctor in this area that accepts out insurance. I hope I'm making a big deal out of nothing.
