As a nurse, I can say this is always the answer, vegetables & fruit. The American diet is horrible for the GI system. When I went vegan some years ago I started having three a day, takes less than a minute apiece

Over here with my preferred snack of apple and peanut butter. Guess an apple a day DOES keep the doctor away huh?

You but 4 a day for a week will lock you right up.

Too much fiber.

This is a myth, every single thing I eat all day has a ton of fiber in it and I have never had a problem. No doctor will recommend limiting your natural fiber in any way
