Racee - I did essentially rid myself of stomach problems while being a vegan. But I got down to 120 lbs at 5'9'' which just isn't healthy. My doc told me I had to start eating meat again. It took about 3 years to be able to eat a whole hamburger cause it just hurt my stomach so bad. I have been trying to cut down on my portions. Eating several small meals and snacks a day instead of a few big ones and that has been working out so far.

I was actually really surprised - I had a conference in Puerto Rico this past week and I'm terrified thinking latino food (REAL latino food) is going to KILL my stomach but I actually didn't have any stomach problems the whole time! can't speak for everyone though seeing as a couple people got food poisoning :-/
