It seems that it can really be anything and it varies from person to person. For me, I never had such symptoms before going veggie so I think it's diet-related, but if you had it before going veggie, then it's likely to be something else. Hmmm, not sure if I would come back to live in Singapore anytime soon but I do go back for visits once or twice a year :) HI Yu jie, maybe you should just have yourself blood-tested.

Do you intend to come back Singapore? Teach me! Hmm i suffer from fainting spells occasionally even before i went vegan, I really don't like them! Is it due to lack of iron and B12 too?

The dried cherries soak up some of the moisture and they are like little discs of yum with the choc flavour. Re vertigo: yeah I read up on it and it seems that low blood pressure and anemia are causes of vertigo. A lack in iron and B12 could be causes of low blood pressure, so I'm being very diligent in taking these supplements daily. I actually stopped taking B12 for six months because I thought I didn't need it — I felt perfectly fine — but I think there is no harm going back to it. Plus I'm also taking vitamin D because it's winter and I don't get much sun. Actually these cookies are better in my chiller section after I froze them solid.

I also donate blood on regular intervals.(Don't worry I take iron supplements) If you are suffering spells of vertigo you should see a doctor. It might be iron or something else together, like low blood pressure. These are great for me since I am constantly low in iron, long before I went vegetarian.

It was closer to the upper number in the normal range. However, my zink is at 61, when the norm is 60 and up. So I guess, I will have to take some supplements and pay more attention to zink rich foods. I checked my blood couple weeks ago and I was surprise to see that my iron was quite high.
