Could not eating meat make you sick?

So I stopped eating meat about 4 months ago and ever since then I just randomly get sick. I will start throwing up all day but only for one day. I also get random bruises all over me. Could it be because I don’t eat meat?

Answer #1

The bruising leads me to believe that you iron is low. Your main source of iron is usually meat. If you are going to continue to be a vegetarian, you need to look up and eat more foods that have iron in them, or take an iron supplement. Foods with high iron contents: not including meat.

seafood, such as oysters, clams, tuna, salmon, and shrimp, etc. beans, including kidney, lima, navy, black, pinto, soy beans, and lentils iron fortified whole grains, including cereals, breads, rice, and pasta greens, including collard greens, kale, mustard greens, spinach, and turnip greens tofu vegetables, including broccoli, swiss chard, asparagus, parsley, watercress, brussel sprouts blackstrap molasses nuts egg yolks dried fruits, such as raisins, prunes, dates and apricots
