  Your friend should try and just see the doctor, it'll be over with soon and they might diagnose something if they do a blood test. He might not want to but i guess he needs encouraging to go. heehehe Sorry theres nothing else I can say. Hope you's figure it out and he stays Veggie for good!

  Your friend's rash might be caused by something he's eating when he goes veggie rather than something he's not eating. Food allergies are common and can cause a rash. One common food allergen is soy so if your friend is eating more soy when he stops eating meat that might explain his reaction. Or it could be another food he's adding or eating more of when he goes veggie. Some other common food allergens are wheat, peanuts, and eggs. Pinpointing and eliminating a food causing an allergy might take care of the rash. He can still be a healthy veggie even if he has to eliminate one particular food, even soy. I also would recommend talking to a doctor if the rash is persistent.

  I can't imagine a vegetarian not getting enough protein. It's easy for even vegans to get more than enough. In fact meat eaters get too much and that's one of the reasons they have so many health problems.
  
  Beans, whole grains, soy products, oatmeal, brown rice, broccoli, peas, nuts, seeds, even one potato provides an adult with enough protein for the day.
  
  I always tell people who either are interested in going veggie or tried it and failed that you really have to eat healthy. Eat a balanced diet. Going veggie doesn't mean a diet of iceberg lettuce and rice cakes. It's one of those myths among non-veggies that we have problems getting protein when in fact it's so easy.
