Have other people been instructed to go on a vegatarian diet because of
immune system/chronic fatigue problems?  I was given this diagnosis by
a naturopathic doctor after spending too much time in traditional doctor's
offices being told that I was making up symptoms.  The first thing she
did was put me on a strict vegatarian diet, and eliminate all yeasts
and sugars.  Is this comman practice by MD's as well?  I don't mind the
vegetarian diet since I was eating very little meat anyway and I understand
the reason for not eating yeast and sugar after reading "The Yeast Connection".
by Dr. Crook.  The only thing that concerns me is that I am getting all
the necessary vitamins/minerals in my diet and supplements since I also
have a dairy and egg allergy.  I know that there is lots of infornmation
available on this topic which I'm planning to read, but where I'm in my
final year of university I have very limited time.

Thanks.
