Lauren Daws was just an ‘impressionable 16-year-old’ when she decided, against her parents’ wishes, to become vegan.
‘When you’re young you think you know everything. I was being presented with studies saying meat blocks your arteries, and watching documentaries that positioned veganism as both healthier and morally better,’ she tells the Daily Mail.
‘The evidence felt compelling.’
For over four years, Lauren kept to a strict plant-based diet, shunning all animal products including everything from chicken and beef to milk and honey. However, in the background, something was going horribly wrong.
‘I was bloated all the time and in pain after eating,’ Lauren continues.
