Eating disorders, especially ARFID which i deal with (almost all food make incredibly nauseous and can not "JUST" try things new it is very mentally and physically stressful)
Medication and food interactions, like compounds in soy or some vegetables can cancel out meds for some conditions
Side effects from supplements that would be dangerous if already have problems (more constipation on top of existing bowel problems for example)
Generally intolerances and allergies, yes people can manage if just one but more than one gets hard especially if (for example) gluten AND nuts
This would be less relevant in world without so much pressure but people with not enough money and time to just buy and cook fresh, who kind of rely on fast food and cheap meat cuts to feed self
But also people in rural places without much shop or very cold places without ability to grow, hunting animals good or maybe even best way to eat

i do not gloss over there is problems but not everyone can just change and still eat enough to be alive let alone healthy. People should be allow to eat what suits environment and medical needs and sometimes that means animal product. I think there is line of excess people should not cross and support anyone who CAN go without and stay healthy but important always to remember not everyone in that position

I wonder if therapists who do CBT-AR could be convinced to include the knowledge about vegan nutrition, that has been produced so far. I hope you can get better if that's what you want.

Soy

Plant-based diets are unfortunately often seen as an additional product, I suspect this is class-based. There are definitly ways to have plant-based diets without soy, but it seems difficult when comparably expensive vegan soy products are flooding supermarkets and vegan discourses.

More than one disability

Yes. People with more than disability often have to rely on people around them (carnist 'society'), but the problems of carnism will increase the prevalence of those disabilities, I assume. Therefore, similar to measures against the excessive spread of pandemics, I'd argue that those who are absolutely able to be vegan, should be(come) vegan, decrasing carnism.

Of course i want but access is hard. i also don't know if good idea to introduce veganism in ED recovery (in general) unless patient ask for because already very tough to recover and be healthy, especially if safe foods already mostly include animal product. Priority 1 in ED recovery should be keep living whatever food that takes

None of things i live with are caused by animal product or could be fixed without I really do not understand.
