When I was a freshmen, I decide to become an ovo-lacto vegetarian, but since then I was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. My doctors say that being diabetic can also affect your protein levels (?), and since I was a vegetarian, I already was working to keep my levels up. Since chicken has a lot of protein, I eat that once in a while. I **** to eat it, but it works better than soy when I am feeling sick. I try to stay healthy with the diabetes and vegetarian diet, but is ok for me to follow a vegetarian diet, but sometimes have to eat chicken? I refuse to eat red meat. I don’t go on rampages telling people they are evil for eating meat, I just prefer not to eat it. My friends call me a chickitarian, but can I still be an ovo-lacto vegetarian?

What is gluton ? I have houseguests that will be coming and have learned that one person is following a gluton free diet. Do you know if there are things that I need to have on hand , so that I have some things / proper food / preparation procedure on hand ? Is there a gluten free store ? my grocery stores are international have a wide range. i can find sugar free / diabetic or fat free products … but i do not see labels / aisles for gluten free. i am not even sure if my regular bottled waters / soft drink selection will be okay. I would like to have some beverage and snack choices. I am not sure of where to plan dinners out ? restaurants that would have menus / options to accomodate this special dietary need. Is there a website / or reference you know that explains what sort of a diet this is ? I did not get the impression that this is like a low call kind of a diet / that this person needs to have this or they will become sick.
