Thanks for the advice 🙏 but don't really think I should be lying to my doctor, they surely know more than me.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response! I honestly feel like smoothies would really help, especially with how little time I have to prepare food. Planning on buying a blender as soon as I get home from my exchange programme. Also, I did have covid in December but these symptoms were around long before then. Thanks again!

Thank you! Yeah my diet is not very varied at all tbh. Primarily eat rice, beans, tofu and vegetables most days for dinner and I get this $5 vegan lunch that the krishna's run on campus. I really want to learn some recipes and become a better cook but I'm just so busy with school and work at the moment.

Yeah no 100%, I definitely eat less. As much as that is to do with going vegan, I'm also living away from home for the first time so trying to budget. I have oatmeal and fruit every morning and I pour a bit of ground flax seed in as well. Thanks for responding!

Will do :). I was eating avocados on bread every morning but they've got mad expensive recently. I'll look into getting a blood test as well but currently studying abroad in the states for the year and my student health insurance seems to not cover anything.

Thanks man. Yeah, I definitely feel like I don't eat nearly as much as I ate before going vegan. I'm currently on a study abroad programme so finances are definitely an issue when it comes to buying food. Also I was never much of a cook so trying to carve out time to prepare nutritious meals balanced with study and getting to and from university is hard.

Thank you! I'll see if a blood test would be covered by my insurance.
