Its like once or twice a day and they're decently sized. It feels like my body produces twice as much poop. Lowkey feels like wasting nutrients 😭.

    It's the extra dietary fibre. Your body is absorbing the nutrients it needs but can't digest the fibre - this is fine and normal. Luckily, you have plenty of gut bacteria that LOOOVE fibre and can even help protect you from other illnesses and help get different nutrients into you. The tradeoff is they fart a lot on it, which makes you fart a lot.

    A lot of non-vegan western standard diets are very short on fibre (people literally just need to eat more veggies and theyd be fine). Hence the infamous GI changes, bigger poops, farting that comes with starting to eat vegan. It'll work itself out to something more normal, I swear lol

      Yes to everything you said. Except I found that the gas goes down after a year or two of being vegan. It's like your gut adjusts.
