I went 100 percent fibre when I first became vegan and the bloating was very uncomfortable, I was so worried, but after about a month it all went away along with 20 lbs. Now I know well why people are constipated.
100% fiber?!?
Hell nah!
That's impossible. You'd starve to death, cause you need more nutrients than fiber, actual nutrients
Don't take it so literally please.
I watched 'Earthlings' (the vegan maker) one Sunday morning 2 years ago and went Vegan immediately.. I followed a strict whole food plant based diet, also stopped cooking with oil. It was not easy, my body went into shock with the sudden change. All of my food was rich in fibre ... so it was not 100 percent, maybe 99 percent? ha!
Same here Susan
No need to worry about that Dutchik, There's nutrients in mostly all foods that have high amounts of fiber.
Examples: foods grown from the earth.
I’m so happy for this comment! Bloating will end soon! Yay!
in middle eastern culture, Cumin is the essential spice to combat bloating. Cumin is a must ingredient in all legume dishes. And a small spoonful of cumin is prescribed for a person who is suffering from gasses.
please try it and let me know if it helps. Maybe Cumin encourages the right bacteria that helps to digest legumes.
Would explain why I don't get bloat from Bean & potato curry.
Thx!
Nice! My mom put cumin in everything.
Thank you, I'm gonna try this, I suffer terribly with gasses. 🙀
thanks sir
I'd like to say I'm bloated but tbh, it's definitely fat haha

Aww hahaha :D

@Steroid lol milk lowers testosterone
I went crazy with the beans right away... no regrets! Love being whole food plant based and would never go back to how I used to eat.
Akuma beans good for strength
Beans give you the power to use Shun Goku Satsu!
Me too! It took a while, but eventually everything calmed down & the war was over 😂
Still can't take a shit well. Need to slow down :(
Me too😀💫 digestive issues gone, never to return
How did you know I needed this exact video at this exact moment??
Glad it is the right topic! I just hope it is useful for you :)
Me too! I was so miserable today and at work, so I could not "pass gas"😂. It was horrible and so uncomfortable. I felt a bit ill by the end of the day. I hope it gets better.🙄☺️
Me too I was just looking for videos on this topic, then I went to my subscription box and this was there😂😂
Me too seriously ! woah
at least they would be vegan farts :)
I know this is a video from 2018 but I've been a vegan 9 years - and 4 years on Whole Food Plant Based. I've had intermittent problems where the diet affected my sleep occasionally due to stomach problems/digestion issues - -but since the Pandemic (2020) and the closing of my gym - I've had a MASSIVE problem with digestion. I did a lot of desparate things and now I realize I have to increase my exercise as a large part of the diet. Water consumption helps. But its NOT always about Just Newly transitioning to a vegan diet. (I get so tired of that)
i agree ! How is it going now ? (PS: currently typing this with a full blown stomach)
But after the toilet session my bloating is gone...
;)
How dare you relieve yourself in a toilet. We vegans only shit on the soil.
i am jk bad joke.
😂😂😂😂😂
I've been vegan for nearly 4 years now, and I still bloat when I eat a lot of cruciferous vegetables. Which is unfortunate, because I love brussels sprouts.
MsWannabeGamer Ⓥ cruciferous vegetables have sulfur, that's why anyone gets bloated
If you are boiling them try changing the water after 5min
MsWannabeGamer Ⓥ oh wow, that's interesting. Are you doing anything to improve your digestive Health? Probiotic prebiotics? Ect.
Same thing happens to me, and I adore cabbage greens. Gas-X helps a lot (and is vegan!), although it is a bit expensive. Exercise can be good, too (hey, that gas has gotta go somewhere!).
Some people have bad gut bacteria which needs treatment after comprehensive testing (Gojiman's site). Otherwise, tips here
You may have a gut flora imbalance and may benefit from comprehensive stool testing. Otherwise, tips here nutritionfacts.org/2011/12/05/beans-and-gas-clearing-the-air/

I thought that was to empathize with our bloating. 🤣
Haha that’s so true

Haha, this was hilarious :-)
Vegan men are like bearded women... xD
Manuel Galicia how?
The broccoli farts are real...and deadly lol
veganism is deadly
@@SS-jh4df how so? the longest living people on earth all have one thing in common- they all have balanced diets that include meat
@MichaelBePetty
Cauliflower and bean one's too.
I remember this when I went vegan, I farted like never before for the first two weeks or so, if it's happening to you it will pass, one way or another :-)
I have been a vegan for years and my bloating never went away. Its worth to mention that I have always had a little pouchy stomach though. But since I stopped eating processed foods and oils, my bloating went away!
Or tai chi works pretty well too. But if you are extra gassy, I strongly recommend that you don't take a tai chi class!
As a Canadian (where it is currently -30c right now!) I can guarantee you that if we are lucky enough to go somewhere tropical we certainly don't want to go back home.... Ever. Lol
I love how your beard is a different color than your hair- you’re so cuuute!
Cronometer has been a life saver it’s so comforting knowing exactly what micronutrients I’m good on or should be getting more of! Every vegan who cares about their health should download it soo worth it
I miss waking up at 4 am to fart. :-)
Scott V Grube hahahahaha
Wtf😂
Scott V Grube lol 💀
😂 Hilarious!
Hilarious.
My experience was that after a few months of being vegan I was getting mild bloating and gas in the afternoon (after lunch) that would get progressively worse as the day went on. It got to the point where I was balled up in bed most nights in a lot of discomfort. I sent Mike a message (he never responded :( :( :( , but did make this vid!!!!!) It turned out my breakfast of a cup of oatmeal with blueberries, lots of seeds and other healthy stuff was about 24-30 grams of fiber to start my day.... just too much for me, apparently. In the future my gut may be able to handle that, but I'll wait a few more months until I try it again. Just reducing my oatmeal to a 1/2 cup solved the issue. It was something I found on accident after eating toast for a few days (was sick, whole grain toast just felt right lol). Hope this helps someone!
I also had this problem, however it was because I actually had an ‘oatmeal allergy’ which I didn’t know was a thing, but I’m glad I’m not the only one who experienced this! Sorry for the late response but it may not be fiber!
Ok I need to cut out my morning oats and blueberries, because im in serious pain by lunch time
Great info Jay.
Thank you
For me it was really helpful to realize that where before I was eating a whole cup (dry) oatmeal, cooked, with a banana and some raisins, I was now eating it with berries, cranberries, blackberries, nuts and seeds, flaxseed, and some spices, and even some beans, and it just became way to big of a breakfast. So I cut back the oatmeal by half, or more than half, and kept all the good 'toppings'. And it's way better for me now, so the problem wasn't the amount of fiber, which is still very high, but the fact I kept the amount of oatmeal the same as I was adding nutrient dense foods.
This is just a breakfast tweak, but it was so important for me. And it translates to other meals as well: as I add legumes, the (processed or whole) grains will have to come down from the amount or ratio of the whole meal that I was having before. It's a whole new world, nobody close around me eats this way so I have to figure it out as I go. And it really helps to tweak as I listen to my body.
I got made fun of the way I said bag when I was in the US. Good impresh. Anyone else have to rush to the toilet because they have to take a super vegan dump soon after transitioning off the meats? My only problem with the vegan diet so far is when I have to go, I have to go NOW!
A lot of people drink way too much liquid with their meal, which dilutes stomach acids as well and makes things harder to digest. It's important to be very well hydrated, by drink in between meals and keep your liquids light during and after eating.
Haha yeah RUclips always slows down the meals...
lol
I made this mistake for so long! Recently stopped drinking so much water with my meals and I feel so so much better !
I don't know how old you are, but I find that I get a little "backed up" if I don't drink a half a glass with meals at my age.
That's fair, you can always wait till a bit after you eat, but either way, as long as no animals die it's all good.
I went vegan over night and the gas and stomach pain nearly killed me. I was really stupid now I will transition way slower.
Your Canadian accent is shockingly accurate. I love these videos, Mic. I can't thank you enough for doing what you do. You've made a huge difference in my life, as I'm sure you have in many others as well.
My biggest problem is "The Beast" that lives in my large intestine that growls and gurgles so loudly that people across the room have looked at me in surprise. Passing gas I have some control over, but the beast has a mind of its own and seems to delight in embarrassing the crap out of me during big meetings at work.
The mild discomfort I felt when I became vegan, which I'd researched and knew would go away, was NOTHING compared to what happened to me after Christmas Eve. My fiancé and I made dinner for eight omnivores, which translated to a whole lot of meat replacements and salty, fatty food, and also to us being the only ones eating the leftovers even though everyone liked the food. After months of eating mainly HCLF whole foods, a week of meals like that had both of us in legitimate pain. Stay healthy, folks.
I hear you, did the same thing myself. Not only was I uncomfortable, but I had fought off a cold (scratchy throat) prior the the holidays, only for the symptoms to show back up on New Years Day. Not impressed, attempting never to make that mistake again.
We did that on thanksgiving! My stomach hurt so bad and was so bloated, I could hardly stand straight. Never again!!
Oh god yes, Holidays are a killer. I managed to prepare healthy meals but also got a LOT of vegan candy, chocolates, marcipan.... pretty much every item containing COPIOUS amounts of sugar. I ate so much at once for two or three days a row that later I had such a low of blood sugar it was as if I've been sleeping for 3 hours for two weeks (aka exam session) and even got emotionally unstable which isn't normal in my age. My god, never again, and I don't even want to talk about what it's done to my skin and the gut bacteria (the yeast surely had a feast lmao)
I feel you. Me and my spouse bout som soyballs, Baketbeans and we made a vegan "Jansons frästelse" a Swedish Christmas potato gratin that we brought with us to the family dinner. And we had to eat that for a few days afterwards as well. it was great the first time but didn't feel that good afterwords. Im so glad that the holidays are over.
I have noticed this also, after eating mostly high fiber whole foods... and then eating some meat replacement that have no fiber, it's horrible.
And i did also experiment pretty bad bloating & farting when i first went vegan, even though i had been vegetarian for 16 years. But after about one month it all went away.
Mic can you do a video on managing gas on a vegan diet? Everyone around me says that the fiber buildup is so foreign to their body that they struggle with gas and digestive issues most of the time!
Yes!!!!
What's to manage? With beans, sprout then cook the low and slow overnight. I cook beans once a week or less and have beans daily, without excess gas. Eating some leafy greens, broccoli, and cabbage can make you become a trumpeter. Learn what way to prepare foods to get the highest nutrition. A high speed blender should also help you cut down on gas for those cruciferous veggies, if you would like them in a drink. If you eat larger amounts of veggies that give you gas, pair them up with things that will slow down your flora hopefully, like garlic, ginger or cinnamon. Or take one of those pills that include the enzymes needed to break down complex sugars, like beano.
The only issue that you have to live with is defecating massive amounts more than once a day if you eat good. I turned from someone who could wait forever to actually go after the need was felt, to omfg I need to let this monster out now, because another monster was in line as well. The large intestine is only so big, and I make full use of it now 😂
I concur.
I totally feel you Genesis.
What I noticed that worked for me is eating the same foods for a while to build up the bacteria so it can better digest that type of food.
When you start eating something new that's when your body starts to get into fart mode again.
Hope this helps.
Sprinkle oregano on your food either while cooking or on prepared food. My family has been cooking beans all our lives and we always sprinkle a little oregano when adding salt and other seasonings. It manages gas and bloating in our house.
Lol...If we are not going to see you without a beard ... can we see you without a shirt? 😀
@Hunter He's an athlete, a slim body is inevitable if you run a lot.
I don't get what's your point, and I'm afraid that you for some reason have an ill-wisher mindset towards Mic 🤔
Vegan now for six months, not for ethical it moral reasons, but as part of my colon cancer recovery. I credit mic the vegan for helping alieve my concerns and keep me on track. Keep up the great work!
I'm on Vancouver Island, and last winter was brutally cold, where as this winter, it's been pretty mild. Being west of the Rockies has really been super awesome this year. I think the coldest it's been so far, was...-7°C. Truth be told we have a lot of Americans come here during the winter, because of the dollar. The analogy, although not all that linear, was still pretty amusing.
6 months from switching to vegan and still my bloating hasn't gone away
Chewing your food always helps. Eat slowly
Drink your water half a hour before eating
I never actually intended to go vegan when I started eating more fibre and reducing my meat intake to help my IBS. But then I realised that I felt great and started getting into the animal rights side of things, and now I’m full veeeegan. Peppermint has been really helpful for me as well.
Wow, been vegan wholefood plant based 18 days now, how did you know I needed this major bloat!
Lady Piggy Mummy give it time! Lol
Please tell me you're all better now
How is the change so far?
@@LexRexLibertarian for me its awesome!!
Check out Beans and Gas Clearing the Air by NutritionFacts. org
Years ago I went on the Dean Ornish diet. We were told to drastically increase our water intake. That and Beano helped. Mostly just took time.....
I was having bloating issues for years... even before I went Vegan. After having gone Vegan and trying EVERYTHING... 3 years later I finally got it figured. I found I’d blow up and get staaanky when I ate broccoli or cauliflower, or even too much dried fruit!!
So there we have it. Beans are friends... and food.
Perhaps keeping trying the cruciferous veg is small amounts until you've built up the digestive enzymes for it.
I'm sure someone already told you, but the button popping open happened at 9:07 😄
Hey mike. You helped me alot transition to vegan bro. Thanks man
I just watched one of your older videos and now this one. You've definitely improved.
I didn't actually increase my fiber when I made the final switch and I still had a huge influx of gas. I was already eating a whole-foods based diet and making all my food from scratch prior to my dietary transition because I already knew about prebiitic fiber and it's imapct on gut health. I was eating a ton of fiber for about 8 months prior. The only difference is that I was using fish because I thought we needed a lot more protein than we really did and I eat OMAD.
Please do a video on post vegan-conversion acne!
Aga Jafarli
Go take a look at Lilykoi Hawaii's acne series! They're super helpful, comprehensive and helped me with my acne even after I went vegan!
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE LOL....people always say their acne clears up but mine didn't at all
My face broke out so bad. I have a theory it was the soy milk I was drinking. I have not tried soy milk in about two months. Now that my face is clear again I will try it again and see if it comes back.
Mic has a video about this already. Just search "Mic the vegan acne" in the search bar.✌
for some people soy is a "food sensitive" which isn't the same as allergy but still can irritate your body to some degree, and this kind of irritations often also cause acne to appear. i'd recommend switching to oat milk as it's not as sugary as rice milk but isn't commonly an irritant. another thing is a vegan diet often leading to more carbohydrates in your diet, potentially more fruit juice which is not actually healthy, unlike normal whole fruit. for some ppl the candida overgrowth is precisely what causes their skin condition to worsen, and some new vegans fall into this trap, I'd advise you to google for a yeast free vegan diet online. these tend to be very restricting but if your symptoms aren't severe, just try to cut out the most harmful things (processed sugar, dried fruit, fruit juice, beer (because it often contains live yeast), bread with yeast etc, and types of nuts that often get moldy (plus strawberries and a few other kinds of fruit). it helped me greatly tbh! both for acne and bloating :D. my skin is even less oily but at the same time has a nice glow to it
I've been vegan for 2 years and was WFPB feeling the best of my life a year ago. Then I ate vegan school food for 2 meals a day in college for 4 months. Now I'm cooking on my own again, but I'm finding that I bloat up any time I eat whole grains. Especially oats, which I used to eat daily, make me bloat like crazy. It's so awful. :(
I’ve been vegan for almost 10 days now and the bloating is so bad!!!! It doesn’t discourage me though because I understand the damage I have done to my body and it’s in a healing process. And even with the bloating I’ve been in the toilet at least 3 times a day, where as I used to use the bathroom maybe once every 2-3 days so..... Yeah that says a something about my previous vegetarian diet
I've been vegan almost a month now and still experiencing bloating too. I just figured it was normal for HCLF vegans, so I'm glad to hear it's only temporary. And I'm also having bowel movements way more frequently compared to when I was an omnivore. It feels good knowing rotting flesh and processed foods aren't stuck in my intestines for days. Sorry to get so graphic, but I love how being vegan normalizes one's body.
Sky Cross please don’t go HCLF. It’s not a good vegan diet. Speaking from experience. The bloating won’t go away. Do wfpb (whole foods plant based) instead, is my suggestion
Search Beans and Gas Clearing the Air by NutritionFacts. org
I've been vegan for like 3 months and i still have to deal with bloating, but its not that bad, just a lil bit. But it will get better👀
Sky Cross you think shitting multiple times a day is a good thing tho?
Sitting down in a slouch is bad for digestion as well, as well as lying down. Sit down straight, with an arch in lower back, and stay standing as much as possible. And learn to face and deal with anxiety asap.
Fun fact department re fibre/roughage: I've been a vegetarian for almost 50 years (with help from MTV (that's you), I'm transitioning to vegan). I recently participated on a distance-walking online forum. Folks were chatting about how to dig the tiniest hole to dump in while out in the countryside (on Camino in Spain) so as not to demolish the landscape, also lots of talk about stepping in used toilet paper, you get the gist. I said I'm a vegetarian, peristalsis kicks in like clockwork right after breakfast, then I get busy before hitting the trail, consequently I never have to do what bears do in the woods. Well, MUCH embarrassed laughter and disbelief. People seemed to think I was crazy, or a liar, or a crazy liar. P.S., my brother-in-law ended up with colon cancer. He lives in Canada, ate eggs, bacon, sausages, etc., for breakfast every day of his life (approx 60 yrs old). He's OK now, 5 years coming up. Fingers crossed. I don't know if his diet has changed. The Canuckian gang (I live in Australia) think I'm a crazy communist vegetarian. Not crazy. Bloating? - no.
My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer at 60 and passed away at 62 from it. It's a big reason as to why I went vegan.
My friend just rambled about not shaving his beard yet for the cold morning shifts. lol It helps him a lot commuting on the bike.
Excellent video and channel. You never mentioned digestive aids like Beano and gas x. I tell my clients to ramp up fiber intake and take those aids if necessary. I was curious on your thoughts. 👍🏻💪🏼
Unprecedented amount
Very informative! I keep apple sauce in my frig... As soon as I start feeling discomfort will have just one or 2 tablespoons. The water content relieves the discomfort quickly. Glad I found your channel.
After 25 days no meat I was so bloated I started drinking turmeric lemonade then celery juice in the morning before I eat anything...I dont eat until 12pm then just before bed I'll drink diatomaceous earth in 8oz water. I have been doing this for 1 week now and it has helped so much
Happy new year Mike!
I soak and often ferment my grains as well. Mic, if you haven’t tried homemade idli’s made from whole-grain rice and black lentils, you should!
I had more gas from animal products. I was constantly bloated. I did go through a little phase where beans made me bloated, but then I went on probiotics and the issue went away.
I pretty much had no bacteria in my gut though from surgeries, chemotherapy, and antibiotics, so that's probably why I suddenly had bloating from plant foods.
Something I did notice when I first changed my diet is I went to the bathroom like 5 times a day, but after about a month of that, my bathroom experiences became more normal than ever.
cool story sister, tell it again
What Probiotics do you take?
@@vampireleniore So body was readjusting and dumping the old bacteria..did u use lacto probiotics or soil based ones?
I have become full vegan over the last 2 weeks from being a very big meat eater and I think I have found the next natural gas resource for the UK just plumb me up and we will be good to go. I am loving the new lifestyle though I feel much better within .
This is one of the best uses of green screen I've ever seen. Very well-made and helpful video. Thanks. Haha I love the cinnamon rolls interview. :-)
"But you never forget the kale.."
*shakes head with the saddest look on his face*
I'm dying! 😆😂😂
Wish all the shirts unbuttoned 😝😝
Man I ❤️ you! You’r the best. You are so informative and well researched.
Wouldn't a quality probiotic help adjust the gut bacteria as well to better process the fiber/nutrients and combat the candida mentioned in the video? Also make sure you're drinking enough water in between meals (not during unless drinking lemon/lime water to help digestion) to keep the bowels lubricated from the excess fiber intake to soften those slow traveling poops that may be causing the bloating and gas lol so there's less bulky buildup. These two things I feel helped me the most other than being full plant based of course ^_^. I drink a liter of warm Lime water in the morning + probiotic an hour after to start my day and drink a gallon of water throughout the day. And not only do I have a lot of weight to lose after transition from a typical SAD diet + extreme sugar addiction & binge eating habits, but it's (the probiotic from what I've researched) that helped with severe depression and anxiety, palpitations & tachycardia episodes (resting heart rate 100-110 & heart would shoot to 177 for no known reason and stay above 130bm for days) squeezing chest pains (undiagnosed but ER drs speculated due to "anxiety" or gerds but never confirmed any stomach issues), IBS symptoms and so much more. I just think my heart and body were stressed from the weight and unhealthy lifestyle. Being on a full plant based lifestyle helped the most though, but with these 2 techniques (staying hydrated + vegan probiotic supplement), I'm very regular and never had problems with gas or bloating that I can recall after over a month diving in full force back in November. Just hoping it may help someone else!
do you have the name of the probiotic?
JayAyana Sure the brand I use is Vitacost Probiotic 15-35 -- 35 billion CFU** - 120 Vegetarian Capsules. Supposedly they have a vegan probiotic at Walmart too called Genesis today plant based probiotic for like $15 and it's a 45 count with 45billion CFU. The Vitacost version is $27.99. So if you don't want to wait for shipping I'd check your local Walmart or health food store first :)
Are you able to take grains? That's the only thing that bothers me. I'm thinking about adding probiotics as well to see if that helps.
Fred Dafish Yes, I'm able to eat grains, but I limit what I eat. I only eat amaranth, kamut, hemp seeds, quinoa, buckwheat noodles, oats, and chia seeds. I reccomend amaranth and hemp seeds though. It's the easiest on my stomach and I don't have that "heavy" weighed down feeling before it passes through. AMAZING pre & postworkout food too and both have an awesome nutritional profile! If you have trouble digesting and aren't on any medication, I'd reccomend researching digestive enzymes too! BUT probiotics do help with digestion also :). Also, nature intended for grains to be hard to digest because of the phytic acid coating. It protects the seeds/grains from being digested by stomach acids so they pass through your bowels and ensure that they are able to still grow in soil. So rule of thumb for me & what's helped the most is that I always sprout grains that I have to cook, before eating them, by soaking & rinsing a few times (until the water runs clear) them letting them soak for at least 8 hours at room temperature, in a bowl with a plate covering (but I usually let them soak half a day and then overnight so minimum 16 hours for me). And then my hemp seeds which usually come pre-rinsed & oats & sometimes my other grains, I grind them up in a coffee grinder to break them open so that my body has less to break down and is able to extract more nutrients from the seeds. And to keep them fresh I store the ground seeds/grains in a quart sized, glass mason jar in the fridge ^_^ because once they are cracked open the natural oils will spoil quickly if not kept cool. I hope you find a solution of you're seeking to add grains back to your diet!
Thanks!
I also starting taking digestive enzymes (in vegan tablet form) which has been a game-changer :)
Been vegan 🌱 6 months, best move I ever made! Thank you for your information.
🥰⭐️🌱🥦
Hey mic the vegan! I recently found your channel and i love your videos filled with so much substantial backup for your points. This is not really related to diet.. but man, RUclips needs someone like you to debunk the flat earth theory! My family firmly believes flat earth theories and it's terrible! HELP. On a side note, your vids are helping me veer closer to a meat- free diet. Thank you for that, mic. 👍
I want to say that I eat a ton of fiber these days and I'm never bloated because of it. It gets better!! Also, peppermint tea helped me a lot in the transition. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Veganuary!! :)
Best advice is to eat pickles and sauerkraut at the beginning of the meal. Without fail, this makes even the most challenging meal, easy to deal with.
I actually had a LOT more bloating when I ate animal products... I know it's different for everyone and it depends on a lot of different things, but I'm just saying, FEELS GOOD to never be bloated anymore!
Vegan NonDuality Hello beautiful vegans. I recently started a carnivorous diet. I was gonna try veganism but I was turned off by certain vegans like Mike that spread hate.I personally don't have anything against vegans except the one's like Mike that constantly degrade others that don't follow a plant based diet. This kind of attitude is why I fuckin hate people like that. As for the rest of vegans I think you're pretty cool. There are no one way of being healthy, so I have been thriving on a carnivore diet.I'm 5percent bodyfat and I recently got a full blood panel. I'm healthy as hell. But I don't feel superior to no one ,I just do what works for me. I was gonna try vegan diet but Mike starts shit with others. Why can't some vegans eat their way and not degrade others?
Kevin Jackson I cannot tell if you're being serious. Veganism is not about how healthy our diet is. A carnivorous diet destroys the environment and the planet, thus jeopardizing the future of humans and non-human animals. And of course, a carnivorous diet is commodifying sentient peaceful beings to a life full of torture, enslavement, and undeserved early death when we can simply just eat something else...
What do you even mean by "recently started a carnivorous diet"... Were you vegan before? Were you omnivore like everyone else and decided to fully take out grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, and veggies and eat PURELY meat just cause you got offended by a youtuber?
Mango Green im not sure what you’re saying. The guy clearly doesnt know what he is talking about and i simply clarified... I didn’t say anything about not being able to accept that he eats meat. “Please dont say that?” Why cant i clarify for someone whos clearly misinformed and due to this, is causing other beings harm?
Mango Green Thanks Dude, I've always have been interested but I don't know how to get started. Man you made me feel accepted. God bless you. Can we talk sometime? I'm interested in vegan and it's probably cheaper and better to eat this way. Thank you so much.
Mango Green hey i understand what you’re saying but at the end of the day, one still needs to know the truth when their actions are leading to the suffering of others.
Loved that analogy in the beginning👌🏼
I had bloating etc most of the time being veggie and even worse as a vegan, which I really hoped would go away as my body adjusted (it didn’t!). But now I know it was never the fibre giving me issues, it was a specific group of fermentable sugars (FODMAPs). Interestingly most people struggle with them to some extent. Such a relief to finally understand how to eat wholefood plant-based without feeling terrible all the time ☺️ basically very little onion, garlic, wheat, legumes and fruits high in fructose, which is quite doable and sooo much more comfortable👌
Carrie Gill yes. I'm so glad you shared this, because I felt this was important information that was missing from the video. More people need to know about fodmaps. It has helped me a lot (and I'm not vegan, just FYI). Interesting, now they say just 6 weeks low fodmaps then try to gradually increase your tolerance. It's important to know what else can help the gut heal. All the best!
Same! I just keep legumes to a minimum and avoid onion/garlic/wheat. Tofu is my friend ~~
Aw yay! Discovering it was totally one those "Wooaahhh, it all makes sense now!" moments 😅 And why it seemed like the healthier I ate, the worse I felt. Btw, (shameless plug) I started a RUclips channel about it because there wasn't much out there on lowFODMAP plant-based diets and it's created a lovely little community of digestively-challenged vegans ☺️ xx
Carrie Gill oh perfect! Just what I need. Off to start binge watching your videos. 😀
Check out gut flora testing on GojiMan's videos :)
I tried putting a tablespoon of turmeric powder in my green tea and then I took a walk. My stomach stoped hurting and the bloating went away. For breakfast I had crock pot beans and that caused my bloating.
Darn I wanted to see you without a beard! Oh well, Happy new year!
Nerin keep the beard!
One problem is sugar in all variation except for fruits. It doesn't match with legumes and fresh produce.
"Has this been unbuttoned the whole time? " LMAO!
I LOVE Cronometer, it helps me so much.
Lmao you're the best but that Canadian accent was Minnesotan. Very close tho eh bud.
Cayenne pepper, chammomile tea, and peppermint all help me with bloating when I do get it. Fermented foods in spite of their reputation for helping with that do nothing surprisngly, ginger also does not seem to do very much compared to the aformentioned things. Oh well.
Vegan for more than a decade, vegetarian before that. I had a problem with bloating and mild diarrhea the last week, thought well about how my diet changed (not much), and remembered that I'd been drinking tuns of home made yogi tea, similar to chai tea, and loading the fresh ginger because I had a cold. Wondered if gut bacteria could be the problem, ate lots of natto (I live in Japan) and voila, problem solved within hours. Could it be important to check that you get enough probiotics into your system?
damn I'm honestly jealous of your easy access to natto (I live in Eastern Europe D:). isn't natto also rich in vitamin K2? maybe that also has some effect on that?
Maybe. But sauerkraut has the same benefits, I think. Ask Mic. :) Actually I used to hate natto because it's so slimy, but I got used to it.
Thanks for blessing me with this game...
Why is his face pale yellow?
I agree he does u can see the beginning and how he looks now extremely pale.
It's the artificial lighting.
I prevented bloating very simply. I just went carnivore and regained all health markers,reversed my type 2, my arthritis, all gone.
In the beginning certain foods would upset my stomach so I ate them in moderation so as to not upset my stomach. How crazy is that! I think some people just like to make excuses when things are too difficult. 😂
Reduce amount if swallowed air: Use straws, eat slower
Drink lots of water between meals
Drink less water during and after a meal
I've been vegan for 2 years, meat free for 6. Starting a whole food vegan diet today though!!
Coconut water or Coconut milk help digestion a lot
To help with my bloating i worked out at the gym came home and drank a glass of hot lemon water. 20 minutes later I literally erupted like a volcanoe.
The moment I went to plant based I felt so much better, never experienced digestion issues. In fact all my issues went away. I was born and raised a meat eater. My advice, introduce foods like beans slowly. Drink a lot of water.
If you do not soak beans then cook 1/2 hour longer then usual

What about canned beans? Should I heat them too?
@@emi_schizo4424 I prefer fresh beans but low sodium or unsalted canned can be used when you dont have time.
some stores even sell them in small carton containers if you want to avoid metal
gtcstorm40
Cool - yeah I get unsalted. Should I rinse with sink water?
How about going half way for the beard viewers, perhaps trim it shorter in the front, closer to the length of the sides. That might look nice, plus it will look less like a long beard and more like a stylish young beard, ;)
Vegan Nurse Practitioner 😂😂 keep the beard!
I agree. Even beard FTW
How is it that eating pasta does not equate to eating processed foods just like eating bread would be? While they may be based on some healthy sounding whole grain that is processed into a flour and mixed with water to create dough used to produce the pasta [ and bread ]. This leaves you with something no longer resembling the whole grain you started out with.
You should start a 'shave your beard for animals' challenge and donate to animal sanctuaries.
youtub er I’d donate for him to not shave it lol
The Swole Surfer haha either way the animals win! :]
youtub er agreed!
I've just been told to try a low fodmap diet which as a vegan is hard but has worked at treating my ibs almost instantly...💚👍🇬🇧
Very useful vid & love the chest shot😄
I don’t remember having bloating when I transitioned, except I never fully transitioned until now. I’ve been “mostly” vegan for a couple years but finally decided it’s time. Go Veganuary! Thanks Mic, your videos have helped me have the confidence to finally go fully vegan!
So what you’re saying is, you swallow a lot when sucking spaghetti?
And here I'm watching this in the toilet..
Boil and mash all vegetables, and fry your beans/legumes.
I'm not a vegan, but that's the closest thing to good digestion on a vegan diet
*Fantastic* ... your Canadian, British and Aussie accents all sound the same. I don't know how you do it, but it's XLNT!
Great video
I usually drink peppermint tea after meals. Helps me.
OMG! When I went vegan, I didn't know that. I was eating around15-20g of fiber when I was omnivore and then it went up around 50-60g of fiber. I was exploding inside myself lol! ...and I kept going. It took 2 months before being normal again.
Helo i am a child vegan 👀👀👀
I'm proud of you!👍
And wear your seat belt!
Me too!!!
You can't, it is not for no reason that veganism is also called bloatmaxxing
Create video Mic, I remember being bloated for almost 2 days when I started eating plant based.
I tell people all the time to Slow Down with the fiber and to think of it as lifting weights.
Awesome video bro, keep up the great work
I love your videos, but it maybe important to mention that also an underlying issue with the colon could cause the bloating such as fructose or weat sensitivity, SIBO, histamin intolerance, low gastric acid or bile, or several morbus types. Switching to whoole food plant based diet could make the gut issues such as bloating and other symptoms worse. So it is good to see a gastroenterologist to figure out if you have gut issues. Whoole food plant based diets are certainly for most people very health promoting (I do it myself), but certainly not for everyone. E.g. with a histamin intolerance it is not really possible to get the nutrition you need from plants only as all legumes, several fruits and vegetables cannot be tolerated. Approx. 1-3% of the EU population has histamin intolerance. 80% of these are women. I love the whole food plant based movement and promote it, but often the shared scienctific information is very biased and potential issues are not discussed. Or it is said... -you have issues with the diet? it is because you are doing it wrong-.
Is bloating the same thing as having a food baby? Because i’m vegan for 2 years and i get a food baby after every meal, but i’ve heard that it’s because the sacharides (that i mostly eat on a vegan diet) aborb a lot of water. It doesn’t feel uncomfortable or anything, but is that the same thing as bloating or?
Pavlinka Malchárková This is kind of what my RUclips channel is about! I always got “food babies” too, which is likely gas AND water building up in the intestines because of the specific sugars in some plants. But luckily once you know which sugars in certain foods are causing it, you can just cut them down and feel normal again 😌 x
how to proevent bloating dont go vegan in the first place and eating real food instead of peasant food
