Vegetarian diets are no less

Candida
Candida is a yeast infestation. The species
most often involved is Candida albicans, and the infection is known as
candidiasis. The purpose of a candida reduction diet is to eliminate those
foods that "feed" the yeast infestation, by rigid adherence
to a "restricted foods list." The duration of the diet is typically
determined by the history and severity of the symptoms and overall health.

Diverticular Disease
A low-fiber diet is considered to be the
main cause of diverticular problems. First diagnosed in the United States
in the early 1900s, and now common throughout developed countries, the
emergence of diverticular disease coincided with the introduction of low-fiber
processed foods (eg. branless refined flour).

Celiac Disease
At present, the only treatment for celiac
disease is to follow a gluten-free diet, and eliminate all foods that
contain wheat, rye, barley and oats. Most celiac patients have to avoid
all traces of gluten, while some celiacs can get away with eating a small
amount occasionally. Also, some patients do not have to eliminate oats
from their diet. On the other hand, some celiac sufferers have an acute
reaction (known as celiac shock) to even the smallest amount of gluten.

are unable to digest lactose, which is the principal sugar in milk and
milk products. This digestive incapacity is caused by a lack of the digestive
enzyme lactase.There is no "special treatment" for lactose
intolerance. The only way to control symptoms is by diet modification.

Treatment for IBS is typically conditional
upon a patient's age, general health and medical history, severity of
symptoms, tolerance and suitability for medications. Treatment may include

fiber supplements, laxatives, and other medications to relieve symptoms.
