Vegetarian son has sickness due to diet

Misc.

My family and I are vegetarians who avoid all meat, cow's milk, eggs, and white sugar. We switched our lifestyle of eating in the winter of '98. Everything's been going great until now...

One of my sons has been for a month or two, getting extremely severe *daily* headaches, and has problems with stomach aches. We think that diet is the problem...he's probably not getting enough protein, cooked foods, or something (he's 13, very active, slender, and is having a hard time satisfying his hunger with just vegetables). Also, my son has a sensitive system, so when he misses meals at normal times, he gets sick.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do to help him? And maybe why he's having these problems (they're definitely tied in with his diet)?

What about recipes that have more "body" and "heartiness" to them...I'm willing to let him have some eggs, cheeses, etc., in his diet if it will help him.

Thanks in advance,
concerned mom
