hi folks,

i was vegan for a couple of years but stopped earlier this year after being diagnosed with a vitamin d deficiency. at the moment i'm leaning towards getting back into it - currently vegan + eggs, i'm a good vegetarian but not have never been a 'perfect' vegan.

does anyone have any advice for getting enough vitamin d or advice on avoiding any other possible pitfalls? eggs have most of the vitamins (i think) which is why i'm including them at the moment. i live in the uk so can't just lay around in the sun all day :(

on topic - food wise miso aubergine is a favourite:

add chilli oil to the glaze and i think i'd actually grill (broil) it for a while (15) once the glaze is added. i also just half the aubergine's but not really sure that makes a difference

i also enjoyed dino's sambhar recently, very pleased with my cookbook purchase!

my doctor was very good and didn't suggest i should change my diet - when i had finished my vitamin d supplements they said that if i were to continue being vegan i should keep on taking supplements - as i had already stopped i was okay to not take them anymore. it was completely my decision to stop being vegan.

i walk to work - about 40 minutes each way - and run maybe twice a week. to get around i mainly walk but will occasionaly take the bus so at the moment i'm thinking it may be beneficial to supplement a bit.

thanks for the response paraquat! i'm interested to hear if anyone else has had any similar issues/solutions

who has some good mushroom recipes?
