It could be a zinc deficiency because a symptom of it is delayed wound healing. Many whole grains are rich in zinc. But, zinc is just a guess as there is no way for me to know for sure. ... Also, if you go to www.nutritiondata.com you can find many vegetarian foods that are high in specific nutrients. Click on the nutrient search tool and search for foods highest in <nutrient> and lowest in cholesterol. A few animal foods do not contain cholesterol, but no plant foods contain cholesterol. ... I'd also recommend taking a vegetarian vitamin supplement. Some of these are designed to have less of the vitamins that a vegetarian is more likely to ingest sufficient amounts of and more of the vitamins that are more likely to be deficient in a vegetarian diet. They also are not made with animal products.
