Fermented foods and probiotics. I like natural sauerkraut, miso, and homemade coconut yogurt. BTW, 80% of people are believed to be deficient in this vitamin because they consume grain fed animals instead of grass fed. So it's common to all diets really.
When you give up animal products for health reasons you tend to be more informed than those who do so for emotional reasons.
I kept occasional cheese though so I'm not strictly vegan. Again, that was a choice based on numerous studies about the health benefits of certain cheeses.
I have immune disorders too. Genetic, not self sabotage. I find the plant diet and FODMAPS observance controls my symptoms very well.
Cheese is believed to be heart and cancer protective as well as a source of varying types of bacteria. I like to keep my gut alert with a variety of "good germs." Good digestion is a major key to overall health.
