Yeah so I've been trying to go vegan all year and I'm pretty proud that I'm for all intents and purposes fully vegan at this point. Except I've been dealing with some stomach issues this past week or so, and unfortunately many of my go to stomachache recipes use chicken: plain chicken and rice, chicken soup, chicken broth, etc.

I'm wondering what, as vegans, you all eat when you're dealing with stomach issues. I can generally stomach oatmeal, although not too much of it, and plain white bread, again not too much. Bananas are always a go to for me also. But I'm unsure of what else to eat - beans are out, I feel like most nuts are out? What do you all eat when dealing with stomach issues?

beans are out, I feel like most nuts are out

why?

Can you describe your stomachache in more detail? Are you experiencing diarrhea or constipation? Where is the pain relative to your navel?

My go-to for stomach pain is squash soup with beans or a really hearty borscht with some lentils

I feel like OP is after stuff that is easy on the stomach. Beans are not exactly known for that.

[–] dat_math@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why is that the case? Too much fat content for the fiber to be beneficial?

[–] illi@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Honestly... I don't know why specifically. But with stomach issues it is commonly recommended to have some "lighter" foods and beans are not in that category.

constipation, and idk it feels around/below my navel.

beans idk, for some reason I thought they were too tough on a sensitive stomach. all that fiber I guess, idk

[–] dat_math@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

idk, maybe I'm making my own occasional stomach discomfort worse, but at least my colon gets cleaned out with the constant bean intake shrug-outta-hecks

I hope you feel better soon! Has your discomfort continued for more than 24 hours now?

Yeah it’s been like a couple weeks. Gonna go to the doctor but in the meantime I need to eat

I cannot recommend enough getting this seen as soon as you are able!
