Forgive me if any of my advice doesn't fit the low FODMAP diet. I am not familiar with it, but I am sure there are substitutions you can make with foods that do fit, if my advice doesn't. It's possible and probably better for you to go vegan as it might help with some of those health issues in...

Don't worry about protein so much. Eat plenty of beans and peas and you'll be fine. You can also get protein from seeds and plenty of other sources. Look at it this way....by giving up fish, you'll be losing a ton of toxins that are probably doing far more harm than the protein in the fish is...

It took my body nearly 6 weeks to fully adjust to becoming a vegan. I had bowel issues, low energy and some flu-like symptoms for a while, but when they went away, life became something I could live again. I am guessing you are going through some of the same. I thought about going pescatarian...

There are several. Two of the best are the How Not to Die book by Dr. Michael Greger. He cites a number of studies in his book and breaks down many of the top diseases. Another one is The China Study, which is by far the largest study of the plant-based diet to date.

That's so sad to me and I know this is normal. Why, as humans, we want shortcuts when the best we can get out of this life comes without shortcuts I will never understand.

There may be certain fruits that are not so great for digestion, but this simply isn't a truth. Many people at fruit last as a dessert or just as a juicy way to avoid needing liquids during meals. A couple things you can do to help your digestion include: Add cinnamon to foods Drink warm...

Kiwis are great and tasty. Another thing to try is warm lemon water first thing when you wake up. It has been compared to drinking coffee only far healthier. For the long term, adding cinnamon to some of your food will aid in digestion and may help keep things normal.

Before we just assume everything we read is true, what's the source of the information? This article isn't about everyday foods, but about rare cases. Interesting read, however.

They should stop calling it just an "option" and start making it the top recommendation instead of trying to sell drugs for big pharma.

I am Catholic and while veganism isn't a "Catholic" thing, religion did play a factor for me. I believe when we leave this earth we won't be dining on flesh at all, so why not start now? Compassion is a huge part of any Christian religion (or it should be) and there's no better way to become...

I couldn't imagine living in a culture where my neighbors get to decide anything that has to do with my passport applications.

This is news, so let's start there. Most news is fake these days or at the very least embellished. She was also using a media outlet to share (and profit) from here story, so let's assume there's a possibility she was saying one thing and doing another. Plant-based diets have been widely...

Great list. Thank you for sharing! Added it to my files for reference. Benjamin Ehinger

That's great to hear! Often, side effects of drugs can last for a while and really, side effects or withdrawal symptoms of anything. I remember when I cut out added sugar from my diet, it took like 3 weeks for everything to get to normal. Had headaches and other odd things going on, but the body...

Probably need to get more veggies in there and you don't have to be a big veggie person to do it. Add leafy greens to your workout shake (spinach, kale, etc.) and add in some diced veggies with your rice and beans. Those are two easy ways to get some in there without really noticing it. I love...

I love how veganism gets compared to religion like it's some type of cult. It seems like this happens all the time and I think when people say they don't want to be religious about something, they are basically saying they don't have enough self-discipline to follow their very weak beliefs. If...

Nope, not this vegan. I don't eat processed junk and most of the "fake meats" are made with soy, which isn't the best option for men. There are better choices and plant-based isn't the same as what I call Oreo-based, which is the starch eating, fake meat eating vegans. It's one thing to eat this...

Most likely, it's a side effect of the drug. If you eat strict vegan, you get plenty of fiber and I certainly wouldn't cut back on it. It could also be stress, as stress manifests itself physically and often as constipation. My sister went through this (not a vegan) and tried everything you...

There are even organic versions, not called Oreos, but still not good for you. Sugar, in general, isn't good for you when it comes in the package of processed dead food. Wouldn't eat these if it was the only thing left on earth!

The beano and gas x are just keeping your stomach and intestines from getting used to it. Quinoa has a decent amount of protein, too. You can add lentils to quinoa or brown rice for added protein. I remember when I started (not long ago) and was eating more beans than I was used to. I was...
