Without giving away too much info did anyone else get any unwanted side effects when they first switched? I have the foulest wind and stomachs ache plus really bad headaches. Think headaches may be down to lack of caffeine but really my rear end is most offensive :-0

The majority of commerical laying hens will never in their lifetime come in contact with a rooster...
No rooster= no umbilical cord . It's not possible as with all species we need both sexes for reproduction.
I was veggie for 4 years and 2 pregnancies. I don't eat a lot of meat now anyway.
My cats eat meat. My children eat meat (rarely) but they had a free range chicken for tea. If my children said to me "I want to be vegan" then I would embrace their choice but since cats can't talk then I assume that they aren't going to suddenly say "you know what mum, I don't want whiskers get me a carrot" and so I will continue to feed them meat x
Yes, I was same. I think it's your body clearing as once you up the intake on the likes of veggies, nuts, pulses etc your body just needs time to adjust.
I used to get bad stomach pains with meat possibly because our bodies don't break it down so easy so meat is sitting in your intestines for longer.
Caffeine definitely leads to headaches which is why it can be better to gradually cut it out instead of going cold turkey.
It will all regulate itself!

No, cats are obligate carnivores and my cat's poor tummy is so sensitive she has to have special biscuits so that's not something I'd be willing to risk. Plus technically she's my parents' cat so it's their choice.
Dogs do better on a vegan diet but this is my diet choice. I don't know what I'd do if I had a dog. Maybe if I got them from a puppy I'd think about it.
Re: the gas - it's really common and it will pass, if you'll pardon the pun.
Just a thought, have you eaten a lot of beans / lentils etc? Because that can definitely contribute to it. After 6 years I'm used it so don't get affected that way very often anymore.
I'm loving on lentils, beans and veg lol xx

I have only had 3 black coffees in last 5 days. I can't get used to the milk alternatives in coffee
I think my family are going to disown me if the gas continues! The men who work in Nicks office are moaning at him lol

Are you taking a lot of soy milk...that used to be the deal breaker with me . Changed to oat milk and all peace was restoredLiving..blinking iPhone.

Yep the beans and lentils will do it. Your body will settle down, it just takes a bit of time.
Apparently if you cook them with some sea vegetables in, that helps (I'll have to check which one it is, but i'm sure it's one you can buy in Sainsburys).
Edit: coffee, yeah it took me some getting used to but I love a soya latte now. I think they're worse in tea. It took me a couple of years to get used to soya milk in tea, but now I'm ok with it.
Just almond milk, half a glass in my morning porridge
I can't stand Soy milk Yuck yuck yuckRhe

Hi CHarvey! Just wanted to say i have decided to go veggie too, have been doing it for about a week now and all is going well, ive had a few belly pains and headaches too and i think it could be due to the fact i used to eat so much crap my body is not used to digesting veg lol.
I did it for a couple of years when i was younger but i was only about 13 and didnt know how to cook so pretty much lived off cheese on toast and so as you can imagine i wasnt very healthy!
But im determined to do it properly this time (im 21, can cook so have no excuse), ive been doing well so far, found quarn mince to be great! Keep us poasted at how your doing
P.s im also a well known meat lover, couldnt go a morning without a sausage sarnie so it is quite tough for me too, but at the end of the day i just dont think its right to eat animals x

If you are still eating eggs most of the vegetarian dishes will be fine. Just avoid oyster sauce!
