I have been eating a plant based healthy diet for 8 years; I still got neuropathy in a matter of about 8 to 10 weeks last year. I ate very little processed foods. I think a healthy diet is important, but it really does not explain why we got it in the first place, unless you are deficient in some vitamins or minerals or have B6 toxicity. Always supplement B12 if vegan.

@jankavs
my neuropathy is caused my ongoing chemotherapy. I went 100% WFPB bc of my recent cancer diagnosis
I’m sorry to hear that you also have neuropathy.
I do supplement B12.
Hello,
Hopefully everyone reads this which I’ve written about in the past.
As with everything that enters our mouths, each person reacts very differently from others. Each individual has a unique physiology and what may work for someone might have terrible side effects for someone else. This is why I never suggest any medication or diet to anyone. Many people neglect this basic and highly important difference from one individual to another. It is a critical difference to keep in mind when trying anything especially for the idiopathic cases.
The hope of course which may be remote, is for your doctor to suggest things based on your medical history which is unique to you.
Take care and have a serene day,
gus

@jankavs I wasn't a vagan but still I became very B12 deficient. My mother doesn't absorb B12 either so perhaps there's a genetic influence. A routine blood test for B12 made a difference for me as nothing else had been helpful to that date. B12 supplementation arrested the progression of my illness and it even turned it around to some degree.
