i was strictly vegetarian for 7 years before switching over, first to atkins
in february '97, then to Neanderthin in may.  i was worried about all of a
sudden throwing meat into my system which had been veg for so long, but
figured what the hell, let's try it.  i have had no problems at all, and
less gas, since i am no longer eating beans!
but then i am not celiac, so YMMV.
