The grains and nuts probably cover it, but calcium (obviously), and phosphorus are the main deficiencies I've heard of in relation to osteoporosis and vegan-type diets.

I used not to eat dairy at all because I have a slight sensitivity to milk, but when I got pregnant I included more in my diet and the docs said it would probably be a good defence against osteoporosis to keep it there if my eczema didn't get too bad.

Anyhoo, you're clearly not a food incompetant -it was interest rather than criticism, although I can see it didn't come across that way.
