Hi,
It seems there's all different advice out there. When I first got sick I was a (strict) vegan, I was advised by my GP, a physician and 2 different haematologists that I needed to eat meat, dairy and eggs.
My B12 was low, my iron was low, my protein and albumin levels were low too. I thought I was being healthy and saving animals from being slaughtered and abused but all the time I was malnourished.
I still don't like eating meat much but am quite okay with dairy and eggs as long as I am satisfied that it's from well looked after animals.
By the way my current haematologist is vegan and he looks very young for his age and I've only ever known him to have one cold. (yeah, it was man flu and he looked and acted miserable).
Take care.
