She tried eating some chicken soup, but even that really upset her stomach. Some people have suggested she take digestive enzymes. I also noticed a post this week about hydrochloric acid capsules - would this help? > Any other suggestions for someone who hasn't eaten meat for a long long time? My boyfriend was also a vegetarian when we decided to do the paleo diet together. He'd been vegan for 10 years, and then vegetarian for 20 years more. He just started slowly (ate only a little meat at a time at first) and his body adjusted quickly. He now loves eating paleo, and eats lots of red meat with no problem.
